Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Shortly after the ground war starts in earnest - I fully expect two things. Israel to commit war crimes. And as news leaks of the crimes - the US media starts vigorously trying to "explain" how war crimes aren't actually war crimes but necessary to end Hamas. I expect a particular phrases to be used all the time like "Israel has been forced to undertake a necessary evil."
U.S. media just needs to say the magic word, “Iran,” and all atrocities be forgotten.
They will never report on it in the media and posts on social medka covering them will be removed or called propaganda.
Might not even need to remove it. Just put a tag claiming it's propaganda from a bad country and libs will do the rest of the leg work.
The war crimes have already begun, even if you discount the occupation. Collective punishment, biological warfare. This will just cause the bodies to pile higher
