Is it 40 beheaded babies or just one guy?
There shouldn’t be this much debate. Pics or it didn’t happen.
Oh it’s the same fucking dude. Why are we posting this uncritically?
I see a lot of people debating whether Hamas beheaded babies, and I just want to point out a few things:
It doesn't really materially matter. The key facts here are: Hamas murdered children, and Israel has and is in the process of murdering children. Whether a baby dies by machete or airstrike, we need to find a clear voice with which to demand an end to the current hostilities and then an end to the apartheid regime and occupation.
I really want to emphasize that I admire the skepticism people are showing, and agree that the critical lens is appropriate. At the same time, I hope people don't waste time arguing whether this one specific fact is true or not. Because again, if it's true, it doesn't mean that Israel has license to kill children. And if it's false, it doesn't exonerate Hamas for killing children.
The leaders and fighters of Hamas need to be brought to justice for these horrendous and evil acts of terror.
The leaders of Israel need to be brought to justice for the enprisonment and genocide of the Palestinian people, giving rise to terrorist ideology like Hamas follows.
Hamas would not exist without the Israeli political goals to remove Palestine's claim to the land
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the attack on the Nova music festival, for example, the gunmen abducted some of the partygoers, and then murdered many more, spraying them with gunfire and throwing grenades into places they were hiding.
The hiding places included toilets, dirt bins, cars, and bomb shelters.
The testimony of the people charged with recovering the dead is disturbing and difficult to listen to, but they want everyone to understand just how horrific it was.
They agree a digger will go forward and pick up the dead, and we take another route to another site to collect a handful of bodies.

Using a can of spray paint, members of Zaka then mark the bags with an X, designating that they aren't civilians but that they are the bodies of the killers.

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.
