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 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.

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.

Amazing that their initial excuse was "No, no, it wasn't us shooting them that caused the deaths, it was the stampede..."
Yeah, genius, and WHAT caused the stampede? Oh, the SHOOTING? Right...
I was amazed I had to post pictures of shot people so often yesterday. All the IDF has to do is make up some blatant bullshit for an extreme war crime and the onus lies on others to disprove it.
Just make sure you link the images, or NSFW them. Lots of folks are sensitive about death and gore.
Honestly, the point of posting such pictures is to rub people's noses in what they are defending. Part of the problem is we keep on censoring ourselves because it makes us uncomfortable.
Oh, I get that, and they probably deserve it, but the random person just scrolling comments doesn't. ;)
No worries I'll always put a huge disclaimer in front of them.
Could you repost the links here? I want to show them to some people trying to say it was a stampede.
Sure thing, here you go
NSFL (Gore+Death): images of shot people
Here is a video with sound of gunfire, tracer rounds can be seen flying but it's not super nsfl

Here is the aerial footage video from the IDF

“We've asked the government of Israel to investigate and it's our assessment that they're taking this seriously and they are looking into what occurred, so as to avoid tragedies like this from happening again,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters during Friday’s news briefing.
Kirby pointed to previous examples of Israel investigating incidents and said they have been “very honest and upfront” about mistakes. Kirby added that they have not given Israel a timeline to complete their investigation.
Don't worry everyone, the Biden administration trusts that Isreal will investigate and give us an honest assessment of any "mistakes" they made. Now please just go back to being mad at Wendy's while Biden goes around Congress to ship another batch of bombs to Israel to be dropped on apartment buildings and refugee camps.
This just in. No mistakes were made. No Israelis found in the massacred group.
Not sure if you saw the update but actually Israel didn't do anything more than just fire a few warning shots!
The review, he said, which gathered information from commanders and troops in the field, determined that no strike was carried out towards the aid convoy.
"The majority of Palestinians were killed or injured as a result of the stampede," Hagari said.
The dozens of Palestinians with bullet holes in them that day got them from, um, something else.
We didn't do it everyone died from crowd crushing.
But now that there's a video with gun sounds, we did do it but we only fired into the air.
But now that there's evidence of bullet wounds, Hamas did it.
But now that the BBC analysis shows that we did it, we were defending ourselves.
Lol yea, they even
but it went pretty much exactly how you described it.
Clarifying, 100% were because of the gunfire. 80% were gunshot wounds, the rest were injuries sustained as a result of the fleeing from the gunfire. None of this includes the suffering, misery, and pain already caused by previous injuries, starvation, and the looming sense of absolute terror, dread, and hopelessness already caused by previous bombings and shootings during the Israeli invasion so far underway.
Even worse when you consider the victims were already starving to death.
Yes but did the doctor condemn Hamas?
You mean "Hamas doctor claims 80% of injuries at his Hamas hospital came from tragic, accidentally gunshots"? Or are you an antisemite?
Wow, people, the downvotes. This is so obviously satire.
