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.

Y'know, by the standards of a military assault, this one was actually pretty targeted. So far there's a handful of children in thousands of casualties, who mostly fit the profile of a military or military-adjacent individual. Compare that to a ground assault of your choice, by any military anywhere.

Let's shit on them for all the actual atrocities they've done.

You mean killing children as par for the course, or killing people who are attending a funerary rite for other people who were killed by the same killer, is somehow not an atrocity?

I think I explained how the children were not par for the course this time, actually. Rage jerk away, but I thought I'd inject some factuality while it's still uncool.

I'm going to shit on them for this too. I don't need to give them any credit.

If you actually care about being taken seriously, being factually correct helps.

FTFY, and yeah, at least this time they didn't actively bomb a known humanitarian corridor or refugee camp, so that would be comparatively targeted.

By any normal standard. By the standards of recent Israeli military assaults, this was a damn miracle.
