"Newborn twins were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza while their father was at a local government office to register their birth.
Asser, a boy, and Ayssel, a girl, were just four days old "
Fucking IDF war criminals, fucking murderers.
I just can't with this shit. I do not want to be a hateful man, but I don't think I could ever stand being in the presence of someone who defends Israel's actions going forward. They said never again, as they themselves became the thing they loathed the most.
The thing that's going to stick with me forever about this conflict is the accounts from the doctors working in Gaza describing all the small children who died from a single rifle shot to the head or heart. I just can't imagine what has to die inside of you before you can sit behind a rifle scope, specifically pick out a child, and then murder them for funsies.
Multiple. Multiple rifle shots. Asshat snipers proving it's not an accident.

"And then there's sniper bullets. I have children that were shot twice."
"You're saying that children in Gaza are being shot by snipers?" asked Smith.
"Definitively," said Dr. Perlmutter. "I have two children that I have photographs of that were shot so perfectly in the chest, I couldn't put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately, and directly on the side of the head, in the same child. No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the 'world's best sniper.' And they're dead-center shots."
One American doctor told us he even reviewed CT scans to confirm what he saw because he "didn't believe that this many children could be admitted to a single hospital with gunshot wounds to the head." Some shootings have been captured on video.
Seemed to have learned all the wrong lessons from WW2
I got banned from r/news and r/worldnews for pointing this out before public sentiment finally became too insurmountable to ignore. Fucking coward mods.
no, they didn't become what they hated; the zionists always tried to be chummy with hitler. they had an SS unit. they did not treat holocaust survivors well.
Are there any good resources to read about this claim? It sounds interesting and counterintuitive.
yeah; it's pretty fucked. the 'stern gang' or 'lehi' is a good starting point.
If you think Israel was in the Wrong for killing these 4 Day Old HAMAS TERRORISTS your ANTISEMITIC!
/s
It's becoming harder and harder to read these stories. But I don't want to get numb to this like so many other people in the US. I can't let myself be like a random,comfortable German living in Nazi Germany oblivious to my country's war crimes. Excusing it seems like the first step to losing your humanity.
I, unfortunately, saw a picture of a man holding up a headless baby in Gaza scrolling through Instagram. As horrifying as it is, it really puts things into perspective instead of just hearing about the number of deaths on TV. Ceasefire now!
Dispair, nothing else.
Origin story of villian.
They've been plotting ~~revenge~~ since '45
Israeli nationalists: "That's okay because there was a 'high value Hamas target' in the vicinity!"
Pro-tip: If you're trying to radicalize a population and create an incubator for greater terrorism, then you do exactly what Israel has been doing. If I was this man, I'd have nothing to live for and thus spend the rest of my days focused on vengeance. Sorry, but it's the truth.
War... What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
well. exterminating the brutes. holding onto power a few minutes longer. lebensraum for your 'master race'. testing weapons systems for internal repression. plenty of stuff.
BBC didn't use the passive voice for this particular Israeli war crime.
This is literally the passive voice
Active voice would be "Israeli strike kills two twins in Gaza as [their] father goes to register [their] birth" or something
It is indeed passive but i understand that kill is an active verb, contrary to deceased or passed or died, where there is obfuscation of "by whom", which they did a lot since October (not just them)
The past participle of a verb is used as the passive participle (e.g. indicates the passive voice, where the patient of the verb is the subject and the agent is the indirect object). "She was killed" or "He was eaten" is in the passive voice, while "I died" or "I killed" is in the active voice. It's normally supposed to be preceded by an auxiliary verb (in this case "be"), but news titles omit the copula among other things.
Still pretty passive. Killed... By who?
As conservatives cheer.
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
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.
