If the IDF scum are ever held to account, the decent people of the world should next go after their own leaders for blindly supporting these atrocities and not stopping them earlier. The genocide of the Palestinians is a blight on many western so-called liberal democracies.

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.

utterly horrific, genocidal, warcrimes
We're well past genocide and into Holocaust now.
But their shills in the West will make sure that if you raise your voice, depending on your legal status, you will be slandered, roughed up by police, have your degree revoked, snatched up from your family or in the middle of the street, and deported.
And they will use the charge of antisemitism as a cudgel, all the while playing into all the worst antisemitic tropes and preparing the ground for the next round of actual antisemitic violence.
Zionism hurts Palestinians first, people who stand up for humanity second, all Jews third. It's a shit ideology.
Israel is literally kidnapping, raping, and assaulting civilians. by the thousands as they attempt to surrender. Beating them until they either agree they are Hamas or die, and then killing them anyway.
I get why the US government is down with that, many of our politicians are old people that love rape and genocide especially via proxy, since they can't do it themselves anymore. It's just really annoying that the same people ranting about wanting to protect women have spent the most money and time getting them tortured, raped, and killed.
AP telling the same story. Looked like Reuters was, as well, at a quick glance. So I guess this is confirmed.
What a terrible thing.
Fucking hell..... I mean how many blatant war crimes does Israel need to commit before countries start condemning them. Goddammit, seriously
At this point there is none. They have been doing shit like this for decades. Israel was founded by terrorists and on terrorism.
The US is the behind this 100% we don't even have a ballot option against it
We give them the weapons to do it, then drive aid trucks through their territory in a token effort to help the Gazans, it’s goddamn shameful.

It straight up feels like we are living in, like, the world of Final Fantasy 7. They could literally be using the souls of the dead to generate electricity as it literally kills the planet both physically and metaphysically, but only like 7 people are gonna actually be pissed and try to stop it.

Here is some of the footage of the digging up of the bodies for those who want video evidence:
for a country that loves to talk about their right to exist, they sure as fuck try their best to disprove they have that right at all. nazi germany didn't have a right to exist.
Condoning or condemning atrocities has rarely been about the race, nationality, religion, etc. of who was harming or being harmed. Whoever is in power at the time decides what is condoned or condemned.
20th century Jews were at the mercy of a seemingly-unstoppable German force. Now that Israel are largely in charge of the immediate region, they set the tone, forgetting what had been done to their ancestors.
Americans weep and gnash teeth over foreign atrocities while standing on the blood of Indigenous people their powerful ancestors were perfectly fine murdering just to gain land.
African tribes slaughtered each other long before becoming victims of Euro/American slavery.
I’m not justifying any of it. Just saying it’s the ebb and flow of who is in power at the time that determines who gets to decide what’s condoned or condemned, not the race, etc. of the aggressor or victim. Over centuries and millennia, many/most nations and peoples will take turns giving and receiving atrocities. All you need is an evil leader and just enough supporters to make it seem “ok enough”.

Not surprised. There's a video out there with a journalist interviewing older IDF veterans who talk about murdering Palestinian civilians and the sick bastards are smiling.
............ Fucking hell. What is wrong with Israel.
Selfrighteousness would be the most likely answer
also being whipped by right wing media into a constant level of terror to justify genocide

Far right wing government, a president (PM in their case) that has multiple credible cases of corruption against him and is holding onto power desperately to try to avoid prosecution.
Sound familiar?
I'm not against Jews, I'm against Israel. It appears that the lesson they learned from the Nazis is how to commit atrocities.
It's almost as if the lesson should be that Jews aren't unique and are just like any other people. And if you put any group of people into an explicit ethnostate, that group of people is going to turn into Nazis.

They opened fire on French forces too in Lebanon.
It’s getting fucking spicy and real weird that European Jewish refugees are building their own Auschwitz next door.
Jesus fucking christ this is some evil shit.
And Republicans keep trying to convince us the Israeli government is the good guys. >.>
Please don't act like it's just republicans.
crazy that everyone came after Rashida Talib for speaking the truth that most US politicians are more loyal to israel than their constituents.
the thing is we'll never move the republican party off their pro-israel spot except through weaponizing anti-semitism, which will do no one any good. in our two party political system our best bet is to cordon republicans away from power and to shift democrats left through quite frankly desperate maneuvers. additiunally, we must develop parallel structures of power to protect ourselves. these parrallel structures of power is what the establishment fears most, which is why they're so quick to label us terrorists

The Democrats lost the election because they refused to condemn Israel. For once, this is actually a "both sides" problem.

And the Democrat leader Schumer says his job is to keep the left pro-Israel, there is no redeemable politician in power here. If we had real justice they would all be hanged for supporting genocide.

God damn. If there's a god, just wait.
Safely presuming there isn't, these assholes gotta get found and destroyed just like people have done with former nazi commanders and stuff.

around 20 multiple gunshots in each one of them [...] one of them had their legs bound, another was decapitated
Oh that's not good
The Israeli military said in an initial statement that trucks were struck because they were being used by Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Ah thank goodness for a clear explanation
Behold, the apex of humanity. God help us.
Just when one thinks IDF has reached rock bottom depravity, some war criminal finds a way to go deeper.
I hope the pepetrators (and if a command was given, their commanders, and if directions were given, the political leaders) are held responsible.
It will take a lot of time and maneuvering. Politically, Israel must lose status and become considerably weaker before justice can occur. Meanwhile, the ICC must gain status and become considerably more influential. Then...
