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.

The article you linked claims 70% of the reported deaths have been identified. So even if "only" 25k out of 35k people are really dead, that's still a shit fucking ton of people. How are you arguing about this and not feel the need to take a shower? It's disgusting.
"Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) verified a total of 35,160 civilian casualties during Russia's invasion of Ukraine as of July 31, 2024. Of them, 23,640 people were reported to have been injured. "
That's a lot fewer dead civilians in a lot more time. I know the situations aren't the same but it's still two countries invading another and killing people.
The difference here is that ukraine puts its military at the edge of cities in fortified defensive lines so the ukrainian military can shield ukrainian civilians from danger, where as palestine puts it's military in bunkers hidden in the middle of cities so the palestinian civilians can shield the palestinian military from danger.
Palestine does not have an army, Hamas are just a group of people together that lost their home, land, families and friends by massacres done by Israel Occupation Forces.
This claim always gets used but never do I see the opposite claim while that's been proven. Israel uses Palestinian people as shields too, heck they even shot their own Israeli citizens death.
Also, Israel has done so many atrocities, it's genuinely impossible to link them all here;

Odd how every single incident you listed takes place after the 1929 Hebron massacre, when Arabs randomly killed jews for no reason.
It is odd how you pick out one particular thing and base your entire argument on that but ignore the 14 links that I have given you. You also ignore the mere fact that a European country (Nazi Germany at the time) killed 6 million Jewish people purely out of hatred and that drove the people make Israeli state by Britain giving away land that wasn’t theirs to give away.
You seem to really, really try to put the entire blame on the Arabian people.
As I’m not at home right now, I can’t link sources and comment much but I will. If I think you’re worth my time because - you seem not really the type to debate but rather just wanting to point fingers to Arabian people.
EDIT: Copy-pasted my really old comment. It is done through Voyager app on phone, so let me know if it doesn't copy well. Sometimes, I’m really curious if Israel supporters even know how the state they defend so passionately was created;
The founding father and first president of Palestine, Raj Amin Al-Huseni, was a member of the richest land owning family in palestine, a family who earned it’s wealth by being given the throne of jerusalem in a wedding present when the patriarch of the al-huseni clan, Husayn ibn Ali married the profit Muhammad’s daughter Fatima.
The profit Muhammad owned the throne of Jerusalem after migrating from the Arabian Penninsula and conquering it from the natives.
Oh, Raj is a title. It comes from the Sanskrit word ‘raja,’ which means ‘prince.’
Raj Amin Al-Huseni was an islamic royalist, and next in line to inherit the kingdom of jersuem to rule as a king.
The vast majority of land in current Israel was legally purchased from the Al-Huseni clan, who only sold it because it was a malaria infested swamp and they thought the jews would go there and die and then they could take the land back.

I’m not going to talk about religion because that’s not what this debate was about, like I said in another comment to you – You are trying to change the subject to religion and it is not about religion in our debate. It is about human lives and rights. Stop trying to change subjects/ topics and trying to confuse readers.
Anyway, do you even know who founded Israel? David Ben-Gurion. This particular person was one of the leader of the Jewish terrorist organization, Haganah, sanctioned the bombing of SS Patria (French ocean liner built in 1913), which killed 267 people and injured 172. Gurion become it’s first Israel’s prime minister and founder. I do recommend you to also look up about the other old Israeli Prime Ministers; Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir.
I will stop responding and writing to you after this comment because it is clear as day that you are an Israel-supporter (perhaps Zionist?) and refuse to acknowledge any of Israel’s atrocities and trying to blame everything on the Arabian people (especially Palestinians). You refuse to acknowledge that because of Nazi-Germany in WW2, Brittian gave land away that was not theirs to give away and that Israel has done so many atrocities from 1948 up until now (ongoing). Anything that that does not fit your narrative gets dismissed as ‘’biased’’ while there are so many trustable sources from different countries.
EDIT: I wanted to add on this that you called all my sources “biased”. The source about the Ten Stages of Genocide is from “Holocaust Memorial Day Trust”. Just wanted to let you know that, do what you want with that particular knowledge.

Holy man, you seriously don’t get it do you? You are so far up the Zionism ideology that you seriously do not understand reality. You brought up other massacres and problems that has nothing to do with Palestine and Israel conflict.
You have nothing to debate within the Palestine-Israel conflict, you can't make counter-arguments to any valid, solid and trustable sources that I do link. So you get anything that's about Jewish people but nothing of that has to do with the Civilians rights of both Israeli's and Palestinian people.
You are trying to make this “Jews vs Islam” or “Jews vs Arabs” but neglect the entire reason as to why Palestine was forced given away by Britain to Jewish people. Remember WW2 when Nazi-Germany did the Holocaust and killed 6 million Jewish people. A European country. Zionist’s always try to confuse readers. You tried too and failed.
Thank you for proving my point, you literally* got nothing to stand on within this debate. I will block you since, I now understand you are nothing but a Zionist that's rather go for the ''They did this, so we do this'' instead of ''We are all human beings therefore we should make peace and try to live life normally''. You pretend as if Palestinian people displaced 750 000 people and killed many along the way but it's israel who did that and is still doing in today's era. You also seem to be trying to victimize Israeli's and trying to make Palestinian people the bad ones. Palestinians are not the one who stole land, illegal settlements, rape, hate crimes, murdering and having a Apartheid state. That's all Israel's doing. If you ever get out of the Zionism ideology and genuinely want to educate yourself about the Palestine-Israel history. I highly recommend you to not listen to people but do research, read books, news-articles.
You are seriously no ones worth of time, energy and effort - Why? I will refer to my previous comments to that. Good luck in life.
EDIT: Corrected the word with ''*''
EDIT 2:
You have started to become immensely childish. I also never said ''freedom'' but ''human lives and rights''. Our debate is about human lives, rights and Palestine/Israel. Religion was never within the debate until you tried to change the entire subject/ topic (probably because you got nothing to stand on). Do look up all the links, I have linked. I genuinely wonder if you did that (but I assume, you did not).
You are ignoring hundreds of years of systematic oppression of jews under muslim rule and a clear pattern of religious violence against jews during the islamic empire to pretend the conflict began the day the jews declared independence?
They also put their military among aid convoys and stuff, right? Super convenient.
Literally yes.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-aid-group-admits-gaza-convoy-taken-over-by-unvetted-people-before-idf-fired-at-them/
Nice unbiased source you've got there... Care for an alternative version?
"Shortly after departing Kerem Shalom, initial reports indicate that four community members with experience in previous missions and engagement in community security with Move One came forward in a car and requested to take the place of the leading vehicle, citing concern that the route was unsafe and at risk of being looted," it said.
"The four community members were neither vetted nor co-ordinated in advance, and Israeli authorities allege that the lead car was carrying numerous weapons," it added. "However, the four individuals were not perceived by the convoy as a hostile threat."
"The IDF had said on Thursday that a convoy of aid trucks from the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) organization entered the southern Rafah area with Israeli coordination. It said that during the drive, it identified a group of gunmen taking over a vehicle at the front of the convoy and beginning to lead it. The IDF described the act as a hijacking attempt."
I mean.. dunno what to believe here... /s
I hope that, someday, you realize how wrong you are. I hope you don't just shuffle away from your prior skewed views and act like you weren't an abhorrent monster. I hope you own up to who you were and carry that shame with you to better yourself as a human being.
Cheers.
