Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
It looks like the IDF was trying to cover this stuff up, but the police investigation is forcing some stuff out into the open anyway.
Friendly fire is the "big reveal" (that they admit it, not that many of us didn't know) here, but this part I am finding confusing:
I've also tried Google Translate, and it repeats the same kind of thing without the quotes. I really don't understand what they are trying to say here. "Terrorist" is obviously being used in Israel's voice. But I suppose "bad guys" isn't? What "bad guys" were the Palestinians fighters supposed to be asking for? Israeli police and IOF? Would they have used a term like (the equivalent) of "bad guys" to Israeli music festival attendees? Who would they have thought the Israelis would think were "bad guys"? Themselves? WTF?
Someone in the thread claims it's a mistranslation of Ra'im, the kibbutz they were actually trying to reach.
That makes a hell of a lot more sense. Thank you.
I kinda think its entirely likely that a gazan would think the israeli knew what he meant. Especially considering that he's probably never seen an israeli before.
