No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Because that's not how any of this works.
For one, modern warfare is always asymmetrical. There's no fair fights - the weapons are too strong. There's no way to do this without turning it into a sport, at which point why make it lethal? Either way, the loser could decide to go back to violence
For two, this isn't a war, this is denying aid to starving people, then shooting at the bread lines for reasons such as... Showing up too early
For three, Hamas are hardliners. They want all of Israel, which is obviously impossible. So their method is to make Israel martyr the civilians in the hopes the rest of the world will attack Israel
For three part 2, Israel is propping up Hamas because they're hardliners. When Hamas gets to open to a real piece deal, Israel assassinates the moderate (and often the negotiator)
And beyond all of that... This is violence. This is what happens when you flip the table. We could settle conflict with Yu-Gi-Oh games, but only so long as everyone abides the results.
We have rules of warfare... But even those are broken all the time. In fact, if everyone followed the rules, both sides would only be allowed to hit military targets. Hamas wouldn't be able to hide among civilians, so they'd just occasionally attack Israeli troops before running off to a deep hole somewhere. Israel would only be able to attack that hole, so they'd probably occasionally find one and cut the numbers
So don't ask why the combatants don't duke it out... Ask why the rules aren't working
