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.

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.

Hamas is literally in this video firing missiles. The people on this site including yourself have your heads in the sand.

Hamas is literally in this video firing missiles.

Yes they are. So kill them then without leveling the entire neighborhood, as I already said.

[–] galloog1@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (10 children)

Okay genius, how do you kill them when they are in tunnels under neighborhoods? You cannot get into them without an explosion, even if present in person and they won't just sit there either. This is not a war crime and I'm really questioning everyone's collective intelligence and ability to think through problems instead of reacting to stimulus.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't have to shoot missiles indiscriminately into civilian zones. If your enemy is hiding among civilian infrastructure and/or using human shields, you need to change your tactics up to suit. Committing war crimes in order to kill your enemy isn't how you retain the moral highground.

[–] galloog1@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm still waiting on these tactics you are recommending. Alternatives don't exist so your argument is absolute bullshit. The faster they can get through this, the less overall civilian suffering will occur.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The civilians can't suffer if they are dead so you're not wrong but are advocating for war crimes.

I think I'd rather be wrong.

[–] galloog1@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What war crimes? There is a difference between war and war crimes and hardly anybody on this site knows the difference.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This site?

The perfectly homogenous lemmy?

I'm talking about intentionally targeting civilian population which is a defined war crime.

How do you figure it is not?

[–] galloog1@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Good luck providing proof of intent. That should be a red flag right there about your narrative. Israel's narrative has never been that they are targeting civilians and they've shown on quite a few occasions in this current conflict that they have justification for their targets. They are at war right now. They don't have time to justify every single target to you personally.

They are bombing a fucking hospital, if you think that’s fine then you’re a shitty person as well.

[–] Hatsune_Miku@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

IDF hasn't bombed any active hospital yet.

  • bombing civilian infrastructure which is likely to have families, children, non combatants inside is a war crime.
  • collective punishment is a war crime.
  • forcible relocation is a war crime.
  • ordering civilians to a new area and then bombing them en route or on arrival is intentional targeting of civilians, and therefore a war crime.
  • blockading a population within an area which you are actively shelling is a war crime.
  • depriving a population of non combatants of food and water and fuel is a war crime.
  • bombing a convoy of ambulances is a war crime.
  • bombing a refugee camp is a war crime.
  • killing reporters is a war crime.
  • use of white phosphorus on civilian targets is a war crime.

Israel has done all of these things. There is no excuse for war crimes. It doesn't matter how evil the enemy is, you are not allowed to do these things and not be a war criminal.

[–] Hatsune_Miku@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

can you tell hamas to also not be war criminals?
