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.

Palestinian health authorities in Hamas-controlled Gaza said Israel struck a convoy of ambulances on Friday that was to leave al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City and head to the south of the enclave to evacuate injured people.

ahh yes, please tell me about all the women and children being crushed under buildings that we're there working at the behest of HaMaS! Please, like actually tell me, because the burden of proof is on you there.

Those buildings wouldn't collapse if there weren't Hamas tunnels under them. That's literally the issue right now and why entire sections are falling down.

@galloog1 @TinyPizza What kind of delusional crap is that? Most buildings aren't designed to absorb an Israeli mortar round

Wow! Just vilifying the victims here

[–] galloog1@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Most building are more robust than that. Israel is allegedly using bunker busters that penetrate the ground and hit the tunnels. You categorically do not know what you are talking about when it comes to fires.

I'm not vilifying the victim when the target is Hamas. They are not victims. They put themselves there intentionally (war crime) to create this dilemma which is in response to their massive attack on civilians which was defined in their actual orders. (War crime)

No one in Israel is claiming they are doing anything but targeting Hamas. Hamas is still holding civilian hostages and took credit for the attack.

When someone tells you who they are, you should believe them.

@galloog1 No!! Most buildings are NOT build to survive and explosion Where the fuck did you even get that from!! More to the point if you're after one terrorist in one building you don't blow the whole thing up! That's just fucking stupid!

And the victims WOULD BE THE OTHER RESIDENTS OF THE BUILDING ISRAEL JUST MURDERED

Holy hell the stuff you say is patently dumb. Israel must be desperate to want you defending them. Goes around acting like an explosives expert and architect. What a garbage country Israel must be to have trash like you excusing their casual genocide.

Resorting to name calling instead of addressing my points. I will admit, you are very good at creating a narrative that resonates with people who have no idea how any of this works.

[–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

You're dumb if you think buildings can survive mortar rounds.

[–] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Hey stupid, is name calling.

More to the point if you're after one terrorist in one building you don't blow the whole thing up! That's just fucking stupid!

What they did was actually call an action stupid. But if you weren't either stupid or just busy creating your own narrative, you wouldn't make such a baseless claim.
