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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Wow they almost managed to maintain their compleyely meaningless gesture for a full 24 hours before admitting defeat in the face of zero opposition.

Every day I'm less upset about the election because it becomes more clear they're both the same campaign.

kamala's nickname was "top cop" so i call her big pig

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Kamala I assume since she was a prosecutor. Big pig

[–] Cummunism@hexbear.net 78 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

It says 373 soldiers have been killed in its military operation in Gaza.

more plz

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 54 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Lucky for you it is probably way more than they admit

[–] urmums401k@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

Luckily for everyone. Each one they manage makes the world a little better. Doesn't compensate for their absence, but silver linings.

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Considering how much they use remote controlled weapons and there’s plenty of stories about soldiers refusing to do ground operations, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was this low

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jon Elmer has done a good job debunking the number solely from videos published by the resistance

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago

Oh interesting! I’ll try to look for it, thanks!

[–] Jew@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

The largest casualty event was a failed bomb rigging to blow up a whole block. They got got by friendly fire because some Nimrod blew up his bomb on accident and caused a chain reaction. 24 IOF died in the explosion.

[–] urmums401k@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I get that its an impossible task and hamas is doing everything they can, but I really wish they were doing better at this particular thing

[–] Fickle_Ferret@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Of course they won't, can't trust the us.

Well to be completely fair the political blowback could cost them the... hey, wait.

There is no way they’re going to go lightly on Gaza now. They want to punish the people who refused to vote for them over genocide. They want to make the suffering so severe that it’s going to scar anyone who even thought - for a naive moment - of punishing the Democrats for committing genocide by withholding their votes.

They want to crush your hope. They want you to feel like you have no other choice but to vote for them in the midterms 2 years from now, or you deserve Trump who is even worse against the Muslims, ethnic and LGBT minorities. They want to beat you into submission and strip away every last shred of dignity you ever had.

The real question is whether the millions of American voters who sat out in the 2024 election will be so scared of living under Trump and beaten into voting for the Democrats again in the midterms? If so, then nothing will change. The System wins, it just needs to be patient for a little while.

One thing is for certain: they will never yield to your demands.

as if they ever were

[–] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They aren't going to scar anyone more than they have the past year, there's nothing worse they can do. We've already seen the barbarity, the dead children, the destroyed homes, the immolated people. Let's not pretend like they're doing anything they wouldn't have done if Kamala won.

There are no demands. No one is falling for that again. Not voting was spitting in their face for their unrepentant evil.

[–] xiaohongshu@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

We’ll know soon enough by 2026 how many people would be scared enough to vote for the Democrats again.

I’d say at least half of the people who sat out of this election would be made to think that it’s just not worth trying to “punish” the Democrats when the punishment being dished out is to suffer under unhinged MAGA administration. It’s just the system disciplining the voters.

The annihilation of third party in this election ensured that this will almost certainly be the case in two years’ time. What else are the people going to do? Keep letting the GOP win?

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

it all goes back to what every liberal denies and everyone on the left knows: power is taken, not given

[–] urmums401k@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

they will never yield

They will, but only when its easier and more ethical to just pull the trigger and never have to deal with their shit again.

[–] ayamohamed@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

Damn the American government. Biden is gone and someone worse than Biden has come. They destroyed us with their support for the Israelis.

[–] neo@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago

Death to America

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A well nevertheless

Remember these people are garm reducing as we speak according to libs. Could a had more of this if you tabkies just voted Kamala

[–] urmums401k@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

I regret it so much, not voting for the people who would have kept stopping the genocide like this.

[–] _pi@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 day ago

Damn I wonder why there's a real feeling out there that laws are applied unevenly depending on your wealth / social position. Can anyone help me figure out who's causing this????

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

I don't think this qualifies as news even if they just announced it.
