Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If intentionally raping and killing civilians is "legitimate resistance" I feel sorry for this world.
If you're ignoring all the raping and killing by the IDF prior to 10/6, I'm sure this all seems inexplicable.
Because you're literally choosing to ignore why it happens.
Like that old meme of someone putting a stick into the wheel of their own bike then asking why it happened to them after the crash.
Citation? My understanding is Israel has prosecuted the few incidents when their soldiers did such a thing, and it certainly is not policy or commonplace.
Took two seconds of Google...
First result is less than a week old

If you're gonna say one isn't enough, ,you should have asked for a specific amount to start with.
But maybe if you ask nice and still don't know how to work a search engine I'll find you another.
There are decades of news similar to this :-/
ctrl-f "rape" zero hits. So, not an example of IDF raping and killing. In fact this article is about settlers committing violence, which the police and IDF are now investigating. Did you bother to read it or just linked the first google hit blindly?
I said:
You said:
So I just had to guess what you wanted
If you were specifically asking for context of rape by IDF, why didn't you ask for that?
To me it feels like you were being intentionally vague so no matter what I provided context for, you could claim that's not what you meant.
So maybe next time, if you want specific information, ask for it specifically?
Dude, you and rapidcreek were the ones who set the goalposts to, "raping and killing," not me. I asked for an example of what you specifically referred to and implied happened regularly before 10/6. Instead you provided an example of killing by someone other than the IDF. You failed to satisfy your own claims. Now you're blaming me because asking for proof of your own specific claims wasn't specific enough!
Wild.
I mean it's doing more damage to Israel than a century of peace could, so I don't think "stupid" applies. Whether it was right to do it when the response would predictably be like this is another story, but due to October 7th support for Israel is now more controversial than ever before.
Their attacks on military bases were legitimate, but attacking civilian populations was not and should never be tolerated. Even if you want to say that the settlers are not civilians (at least it has some logic, unlike israel's excuses), they killed indiscriminately, including tens of children.
I don't think anyone is defending the actual killing of civilians. The idea is that the civilians who died (including by Israeli hands, by the way, can't forget that), were incidental and had no basis in leadership orders. AFAIK the plan was go attack Israeli bases and soldiers, take hostages, return to the strip, but since Hamas isn't exactly a properly trained modern army and Israel just shelled and shot their own citizens the numbers got this bad.
Hamas and PIJ deliberately targeted civilians and committed atrocities. There is no part of those actions that can even remotely be colored as legitimate. It was attempted genocide as the intent was the destruction of all Israelis living near the border and sparking a war to end the existence of Israel.
