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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

RIP to everyone. The sad thing is that even these really obvious big crimes that should provide disproportional amounts of media outrage probably will be brushed past like the weather report.

Manufacturing consent for crimes against humanity... un-fucking-believable.

r/Worldnews is actively censoring this story. Posts about it are being removed and there's zero mention of it on the front page. Really makes you think that every Zionist deserves to be composted.

Always a good time to remind people that Reddit's head mod worked for a CIA front for years, and worked foreign policy before that

Just coincidence, I'm sure

reddit-logo always censors anything critical of Israel, like the apartheid report from a few years ago.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 71 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It was telling that r/Combatfootage faced an immediate embargo from the admins on any footage from a Palestinian perspective. That's not applied for Russia, for any faction in Syria, for Turkey and Kurdistan or Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Not Chechnya nor Serbia nor Nazi Germany. I've seen ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Al-Nusra, Mexican drug cartels, literally every group I can think of which has engaged in combat and filmed it. But as soon as the attacks happened, zero tolerance policy for anything coming out of Palestine while IDF footage is now the mainstay.

The difference is Israel is a settler colonial entity founded on ethnic cleansing. It is the blood brother of amerikkka. No other US ally is "the us in miniature" to that extent, and also there's the nutcases in congress that think Jews need to own Jerusalem to make Jesus come back. Thus, the unyielding support and bloodthirst.

Regular people are seeing this and saying it's awful, and pro-israeli accounts responding to this news by saying it was a "hamas ammo-depot explosion". Fucking monsters.

[–] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

This and them bombing the people fleeing may have finally broke my mom. She’s still very “both sides” about it but at least she’s acknowledging the war crimes now

[–] Grimble@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

It really lays bare how detached they are. The propaganda machine and its bottomfeeding employees have become so delusional that what they peddle goes against peoples' natural reactions to a hospital being bombed. You can't just ignore that like the usual "Hamas did it" card. This cant hold forever.

[–] edge@hexbear.net 94 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

One hour ago: we know nothing about the hospital being bombed
30 minutes ago: sounds like it was a misfired Hamas rocket
10 minutes ago: well we told them to evacuate

Someone post that book quote.

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago

BREAKING: Al-Jazeera reports that the 🇮🇱 IDF spokesperson says they had warned regarding evacuating the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital as well as five other hospitals

IOF:

We told you to evacuate ALL the hospitals! Why are there so many people in the hospitals anyway?

agony-deep

RIP to those doctors that refused to leave, protecting their patients to the bitter end. Everyone should strive to be like them. Made me cry, just saw a video about their heroic efforts. Hasta la victoria siempre

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 67 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Evil people are now claiming it is a stray rocket from Hamas, of course their video of proof has Gaza lit up at night, but Gaza has no power right now. Clearly a much older video. There is also video of an impact that has obvious sounds from a cruise missile, which hamas has no access to.

The urge shoot the idiots who parrot "Israel has the right to defend itself" just rose tenfolds.

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 86 points 1 year ago (5 children)

The whole "you have to condemn Hamas" and "we are defending ourselves" talking point is so outrageous. There were dozens of slave revolts and similar revolts against an occupying force that were completely justified and just as messy as what Hamas is doing. It is one thing to be a pro-Palestinian and not be happy about their tactics, but as victims of genocide, Palestinians have the right of violently defending themselves.

[–] Grimble@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

Everytime someone demands a random celebrity condemn Hamas I wish they were 4x stronger

HasanAbi is doing his part to refute and correct the prevailing narrative, broadcasting live now and into the evening.

Truly putting in more work to cover this event than all Western Media combined, exposing lies and facts in real-time.

Yes, I simp for actual news.

Every Western news outlet has been calling out Russia for war crimes for far less than this. Where are the calls to prosecute Netanyahu or anyone else in the Israeli government at the ICC?

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They'll blame Hamas for it. I actually heard that Hamas did it first, and I'm kind of relieved to know that's propaganda.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 63 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

Has the red line been crossed yet? Are Palestine's allies, besides Hezbollah, just going to continue to twiddle their thumbs and talk about how they won't stand for Israeli war crimes while the continue to happen?

[–] Teapot@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (5 children)

What can anyone do when the US has 2 carrier groups posted up in the Mediterranean? The unfortunate fact is, to fight back is suicide

They had to bomb that hospital, it may have had wounded Hamas sympathizers inside

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago

this is simply put one of the most heinous things I have ever seen

simply unspeakable evil, I'm speechless

[–] Koa_lala@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago

Failed rocket launch my ass. Hamas doesn't have shit that can do this.

[–] artificialset@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago

death to the zionist entity and everyone defending shit like this

[–] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

They’re aren’t words strong enough for how vile this shit has been

[–] wombat@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I condemn Hamas for not fighting hard enough for the dignity and justice of their fellow Palestinians

There is only one reason you would target a fucking hospital

[–] sloth@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

You mean, "There is only one reason you would target a fucking hospital twice."

Can't find the article, weird I know, but ~~supposedly~~ the hospital was also hit on Saturday 10/14/2023.

Copy and pasting my own comment from the megathread to illustrate the scale of genocidal campaign in Gaza:

Total number of dead children in Gaza since October 7, 2023 (excluding this most recent hospital bombing): >1000 (Electronic Intifada)

Total number of dead children in Ukraine since February 24, 2022: 555 (UN OHCHR)

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

Death to America

Death to the Zionist entity

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a liberal believing in a two state solution I think that every single person involved in this bombing - from the Israeli generals down to the manufacturers of the bombs - should be extradited to face Palestinian justice for their crimes. And in return the cost of rebuilding and supporting hundreds of families who have lost love ones should be extradited to Israel and its allies.

There is this odd account on Twitter claiming to be a Al Jazeera journalist, spamming anyone and everyone with the same post about seeing it was not IDF.

The account have been posting on every single post about the subject every 30 seconds or so for the past few hours

Seems suspicious right?

I was watching Hasan's stream, the account was deleted as he was in the middle of scrolling through it

Death to all Zionists.

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

Never forget all of the western liberals and media doing what they are doing, as ghoulish as the IDF.

I'm at a loss of words, absolute insanity
