This makes no sense to me. There's people in the comments literally telling me to go kill myself and that's fine but, me politely disagreeing is worthy of a 30 day ban.

because it is at best a crank conspiracy theory.

[and yes you should do it]

and yes bombing hospitals does make sense, Israel has done it in the past. In fact, the same hospital was 'warning' bombed just 2 days ago

October 15th:

Yesterday, at 7:00 PM, Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, which is our partner in the Diagnostic Cancer Treatment Center, was hit by two Israeli rockets. Fortunately, the extent of the damage was limited.

Today, the hospital has received orders from Israeli authorities to evacuate the facility, including patients, staff, and 3,000 Gazan people who have sought shelter within the hospital's premises.

We call the international community and all humanitarian organizations to take action to prevent the evacuation orders for Al Ahli Arab Hospital and the other 22 hospital, as this action poses a significant risk to the lives of numerous patients.

here is a 2014 article regarding Israel bombing hospitals

The third floor of the Al-Aqsa hospital in Deir al-Balah was struck by Israeli shelling, killing four people and wounding dozens, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health spokesperson.

“Today’s attack on the Al-Aqsa hospital is the latest in a series of attacks on and near medical facilities in Gaza, which have been struggling to cope with thousands of injured people since the Israeli offensive began on 8 July,” said Philip Luther, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Amnesty International.

Keep trying, debate pervert. Maybe you can escalate this up to the fediverse Supreme Court.

I'd never seen it in such detail. The majesty of the poop, the subtle demarcation of the balls. The stylised X butthole? Tre magnifique

People of Lemmy,

I see more and more toxic behaviour here. I get that this war/conflict gets to us. And everyone has strong opinions and the debate is emotional. But it reminds me more of the toxic atmosphere that used to be part of Twitter.

I suppose the mods of political communities are having a bad day since the conflict escalated. And they are part of the debate, sometimes maybe making their decisions emotional, instead of neutral and based on reason alone. I -personally- think a 30-day is a lot, even if it is spreading misinformation. But I didn't have a look at the facts here.

Judging by your comments in general, you seem quite an argumentative person. I usually don't like people focusing on negativity and (for example) debunking a single argument out of a post and then concluding they're right and someone else is entirely wrong. It leads to us having unproductive and stressful conversations, once we manoeuvre ourselves to opposing sides that lose the ability to communicate productively and grasp the bigger picture and the context that things are set in.

So. Please whoever is in the right or wrong, make Lemmy a nice place and not a clone of the toxicity and argumentativeness on Twitter. And don't yell at people too much.

OP, please be aware you're often a very argumentative person and a big part of your way of talking to people is opposing them.

I'm well aware of that. It's the reason I'm on Lemmy on the first place. I love a good, long debate but I still try and be polite and listen to the counter-arguments and engage with what people are saying instead of attacking them as a person.

Judging by the comments here, I'd say it isn't working. (That doesn't mean it's necessarily your fault at this point.)

All I want to say is: You and the people outright attacking you here are setting the tone of the conversation. I don't feel entitled to lecture anyone on how to spend their time on the internet. For me, this thread is too toxic and not my vision of what Lemmy should be like.

Unfortunately, the really toxic people have arrived here, targeting you and spreading hate. I don't think this going to become a productive conversation after that. And I really don't have good advice here. I'm going to flag the comments that are hatred and then I'm out. I'm going to focus on some more productive things somewhere else. I wish you the best. Hope Lemmy strives to become a space for diverse opinions, constructive debate and not hatred and small-mindedness.

[-] Iraglassceiling@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

B-but I just want to have a civil debate about why genocide is ok, why won’t anyone be nice to me? Wyahhhhh, such toxicity! People are so small minded if they can’t accept ethnic cleansing :(

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's a user in this thread calling us the genocide deniers while Israel unceasingly and unrepentantly destroys Gaza and its people. Like. No self awareness. No historical awareness. Just 'Oh I have a more nuanced view of the situation'. Nuance my fucking gooch.

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's only ever the whites going to bat for Israel's commission of genocide, too-- why? Because what Israel's doing is 1:1 with what the colonizer pilgrims did to America. So no, I am never going to support that; because given my way, my lineage NEVER would've been stolen by crackers in the first place. I'd rather still fuckin be Afrikan than have to be lumped in with these murderous settlers.
