The world needs to recognise PALESTINIANS as legitimate but not Hamas. Hamas has invaded the open wound which is Gaza, and promotes evil toxicity rather than healing.

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.

MODERATORS
Active conflicts ALWAYS have ACTIVE INFORMATION OPERATIONS.
Be skeptical. Just like how there is always a teddy bear in the rubble in Gaza, don't take any "smoking gun" evidence at face value, from either side. Period.

The maps printed out at my county permit center arent as pristine as those maps off dead bodies in a warzone.
This doesn't look like fabricated evidence at all. I am very happy with the fact checking of our media.
Why does it sound fabricated that an attack that killed 1200 civilians targeted civilians?
For me it makes total sense.

Just like those decapitated babies they can't find pics of or prove in any way they exist

It would be hard to say what Israel is lying about in this situation. Overall, it's not like we don't have verifiable evidence Hamas planned a invasion and executed it.
We don't exactly need more proof they were responsible.
But my overall problem has to do with the fact that anyone could have printed these documents and labeled them "Top Secret" and "found" them on enemy combatants. Specifically anyone with an A4 type color printer.
I don't think Israel has a reason to lie about this, but I will state the obvious that this evidence is paper thin in comparison to the live videos of hostages.

It's funny how "ToP sECrEt" docs always get released at the most convenient time.
I mean that's literally how the union won Gettysburg, it's not that ludicrous

The author is a pro-israel stooge
the documents too?
Smoking gun evidence in an active war zone should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
That doesn't mean they can't be authentic, it just means you shouldn't just assume they are at this point.
And when Hamas claims to have recovered from a dead IDF officer the plans for a tactical nuclear strike, or chemical warfare in Gaza, that should also be taken with a grain of salt.
Assume the majority of OMG LOOK AT THIS EVIDENCE type of information from the ground is being shaped, or fabricated, by information operation teams from one side of this conflict, or the other.
That doesn't mean OMG SMOKING GUN stories can't be genuine, just that you shouldn't automatically assume they are.
If you really think resistance fighters were carrying around a bunch of stapled word documents labelled ‘TOP SECRET’ like some TV villains then I have 10 bridges to sell you. Insane levels of deception here

And of course hamas sympathizers are going to rebuff this evidence as 'another lies'.
I'm impressed by Hamas having a documentation classification system and documentation process. Most terrorist organizations specifically don't write things down because it makes it easier to stop them. So organized!

Mhmm a top secret attack on a school...
On a Saturday? During Shabbat?
Found it: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HVGPAaCMFHJQsxEg9
Google says it's a research institute but there are photos of kids on horseback?
Why target a lone school when theres like 15 more in a dense area 6 miles to the north east? Maybe too hard to get too?
Edit: might be a middle school? https://sites.google.com/a/sulam.co.il/daat_herum/home
Edit: or a high school of 100
I've marked what I believe is the only school in the immediate area in purple
Edit: There may be a second school, an elementary school, above the purple arrow, in the buildings with the blue "roofs" in the top right.

NBC out here doing their best to protect their correspondents.
If you want to kill all Jews anyways, why wait until they reach adulthood?
"The Hamas credo is not just anti-Israel, but profoundly anti-Semitic with racism at its core. The Hamas Charter reads like a modern-day Mein Kampf." According to the charter, Jewish people "have only negative traits and are presented as planning to take over the world." The 1988 Charter claimed that the Jews deserved God's/Allah's enmity and wrath because they received the Scriptures but violated its sacred texts, disbelieved the signs of Allah, and slew their own prophets.[36] It quotes a saying of Muhammad from a hadith:
The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, 'O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' Only the Gharkad tree would not do that, because it is one of the trees of the Jews.
Multiple commentators, including Jeffrey Goldberg and Philip Gourevitch, have identified this passage as incitement to genocide.[8][9]
