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.

The military initially said it opened fire because the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals. An Israeli military official, speaking late Saturday on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said that account was “mistaken.”

The footage shows the Red Crescent and Civil Defense teams driving slowly with their emergency vehicles’ lights flashing, logos visible, as they pulled up to help an ambulance that had come under fire earlier. The teams do not appear to be acting unusually or in a threatening manner as three medics emerge and head toward the stricken ambulance.

Video evidence forcing a backtrack? Sounds like the truth only comes out when they’re caught red-handed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The truth didn't even come out. It was "We will investigate ourselfs" type response. And the U.S. will continue supplying this state with the weapons to carry this out.

How nice. After it turns out Israel lied about executing 15 ambulance personell they can "walk back their statement".

These morons should have learned this lesson from Russia - cell phone cameras are really good at exposing your bullshit.

Every fucking time evidence comes out of some incident, it completely contradicts what they said before.

I'm starting to think they might have a problem telling the truth.

They targeted these medics. They targeted the world kitchen people. How much longer are those with the ability to do something gonna tolerate this?

Tolerate? The "people with the ability to do something", by definition, would have done something if they wanted to. The powerful pursue their interests, just like everyone else. You can either get them to change their minds about what "the goal" is, or you change the people in power for some who align with the population. We should come up with a cool name for this crazy concept, like what if we used the Greek words for "people" and "power"‽

Youre right. That wasn’t the best phrased. Not “tolerate” …”actively encourage and not give a shit about”…

Forever, unless they start attacking outside of Palestine no one is going to do anything. Especially since Isreal is one of the US' favorite murder toys

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They have already launched attacks in Lebanon and Syria.

Did I say Palestine, I meant to say "the middle east".

Reminds me of a quote from Hogfather (1996):

Maybe someone said, hey, how’d you like to hunt this evil bastard of an eagle with his big sharp beak and great ripping talons, sort of thing, or how about instead you hunt this wren, which is basically about the size of a pea and goes “twit”? Go on, you choose.

How much longer are those with the ability to do something gonna tolerate this?

Until the costs to themselves outweigh the benefits. Otherwise why not tolerate it? Even the word tolerate implies that it bothers them beyond a minor PR issue. Normal people need to gain the ability to think like sociopaths if they want to understand them.

"seems to contradict it"

come on. Why cant we all just admit they flat out lied to get away with a war crime, same as always.
