In a report released on Wednesday by the UN Commission of Inquiry that covers the period from October 7 to the end of 2023...
This doesn't even cover what they have done so far in 2024, which is escalating all of those things.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.

Further, the report found that Israeli forces had, themselves, added to the civilian death toll of October 7, killing at least 14 Israelis as part of the so-called Hannibal Directive that instructs Israeli soldiers to undertake any actions necessary to avoid capture by enemy forces, up to and potentially including the killing of fellow Israeli soldiers.
In this case, Israeli forces killed 13 Israeli civilian hostages who were being held in a house in southern Israel via tank fire on October 7, the report found, while an Israeli helicopter killed one Israeli civilian while she was being abducted.
14 Israeli Civilians confirmed dead from friendly fire
Hannibal Directive
Is there a rule that says if you're doing evil shit, you have to pick the most evil sounding names you can think of?
Why is that the only rule Israel seems to follow
This is an important finding, coming from a relatively unbiased and credible body. Israel has already been muddying the water by spinning a narrative that the UN has some secret antisemitic agenda, and I expect they will double down in response to this.
This report needs to be backed up by individual nations if its findings are to be accepted. Global citizens must pressure our governments to acknowledge and act on these findings. If we do not, many of them will find ways to downplay or obfuscate them, and the situation will not improve.
The US should follow it's own laws and stop sending weapons to them.
ThAtS AnTi-SeMiTiSm!!!
Blowing up unarmed Palestinians with US-made weaponry is a core tenet of Israeli culture, you can't just deny them or their basic rights like that! /S
Country which has routinely engaged in war crimes for 30 years continues to engage in war crimes...
So what you're saying is we should bomb another refugee camp?
No no, just round up all the reporters! There can't be war crimes if nobody is alive to report them!
