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 founding emblem of the Houthis says:

"God is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, Cursed be the Jews, Victory to Islam"

Basically the same as Hamas. But yeah let's keep calling them "rebels" just like we call Hamas' terrorists "militants".

You have to play by the lemmy meta, they are not the bad guys here apparently...

While I support palestine, Hamas is bad.

They did bad things but what matters is context.

You have to start from 1907 if you want to understand the context.

I support a free Palestine and a free Israel and I also condemn the actions of both of them! And I understand the context very well, also you got to go far further than 1907.

Lemmy is convinced they are witnessing a genocide because Hamas tells them Israel killed 345751 children. And they want to believe so badly they don't care about anything else.

It does look like this. And although the hamas is exclusively targeting civilians with only death and humiliation in mind and is not warning, supporting or relocating them, there are somehow not the real baddies here.

And no this is of course not an excuse for the civilian losses Israel is causing, those suck too...

At least Hamas build a solid tunnel network for themselves instead of doing anything for the people of Gaza. No one gives a shit about the civilians but apparently the only baddie is Israel...

How do you think we can get accurate data?

Hamas? No. Israel? No. Usa? No.

Trusted independent party? Yes.
