This is a barbaric slaughter of innocent civilians who are unable to leave a tiny strip of land that has endured mass bombardment. What Israel is doing is beyond reason, beyond humanity. A savage and bloodthirsty regime that dehumanizes and commits war crimes with impunity.

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.

I'm starting to think this was the goal of Hamas the entire time. They never expected to win against Israel, but they knew they could provoke the sort of over response that would get the world to react to their war crimes.
The world reacts all the time. I remember at least 2014 in my country everyone praying for Gaza. The west is always slow to react to the genocide they create.
Venezuela has always spoken badly of Israel since they did a genocide and help far right genocidal rulers in south America. The world knows that Israel and the US have colonialist foreign policy no matter the party in charge.
Even Bernie Sanders hasn't condemned Israel.
The US and Israel have been, are and will be morally wrong in the eyes of the world for centuries to come.
I just want to point out that Bernie Sanders did condemn them for their actions. While he admits that they have a right to defend themselves (which is fair) they absolutely do not have the right to outright slaughter innocent people amounting to a genocide. Which is what they are doing.
That being said I agree with everything else you said.
Wake me when Bernie calls for a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution.
He did though.
Nope, he didn't
The headline is very misleading.
Mr Sanders said what’s needed now is a two-state solution to the crisis and for “the world to come together to give hope to the Palestinans.”
He also said in another statement that the most important task now is to stop the bombings.
Yes, his first statement was that Israel had the right to defend itself. That was all he said, then the backlash came and he came out with another statement.
To me, that says a lot. It was a big disappointment personally.
Wake me when hamas releases the hostages instead of just doubling down on saying we'll invade again and kill more civilians.
The diplomatic solution requires both sides to lay down their arms and stop attacking each other
Uhhh, yeah, that’s what a ceasefire is. You ask both sides to stop.
Well, Israel certainly schooled Hamas on senseless murder of Innocents. What is it now, 7 times as many (or 14 times, adjusted for population ratio) ?
"An eye for an eye" was a few thousand ago.
Still didn't call for peace. Which is a HUGE disappointment
Yes hamas intentionally tries to create situations where Israel either kills civilians or does nothing.
Hamas's war crimes are definitely getting a mild reaction from the world this time. Just a reminder that based on the Geneva Conventions it's not actually a war crime to target hospitals or civilians being used to shield military targets. It's only a war crime to use them in such manner.
What do you mean unprecedented. There are huge number of far worse events in history.
They mean in the context of Palestine, it wouldn't make sense to compare to Hiroshima when it was bombed. Palestine is occupied and suffering to an unprecedented degree for Palestine.
But context was not given. Just poor choice of words and click-baiting as if suffering isn't enough.
