Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

Remember this and the many other examples when they try to call themselves "the most moral army in the world".
Moral and army are two words that by definition cannot go together, just pretty tokens for Israelis to feel good about their service.
at this point they can't even claim moral superiority over Nazis let alone a world wide rank.
This news article is both disturbing and interesting. The people that alerted the news agency about the event are soldiers that were there. The only other witnesses are dead.
It means there is a conflict of values inside IDF.
I would hazzard a guess that their commander ordered it and is part of the religous-Zionism movement. It's a newish subset of zionism that is very similar to Nazism. Only difference is who they want to kill (the list also includes non-religous Jews).
This stuff is hardly new. There is testimonies of former Israeli soldiers from 30 and 40 years ago, where they talked about randomly murdering Civilians or beating children into disability for fun and to normalize the dehumanization and annihilation of Palestinians.
It was actively encouraged by leading officers to commit such atrocities, so that the lower ranks are eased into it and can say they were merely following the example of leading officers w.o. there being a paper trail of formal commands.
Zionism has been a Fascist movement for many decades.
"Death to Israel" is not a promotion of genocide. I wish for the state of Israel to no longer exist. Israel is predicated on genocide, and is beyond redemption. Imagine thinking that saying "death to Nazi Germany" was a genocidal statement.
But "Death to Germany" would be if the idea was to kill or displace the majority of German.
Within a German context that in particular actually rather means death of the national idea, cf. Slime's Deutschland muss sterben, "Germany must die", which, as correctly recognised by the constitutional court, expresses a counterpoint to the Prussian/Nazi militaristic parole "Germany must live, even if we shall die". The song, taking up sentiment that the court traces back to at least 1844, turns that around into "Germany must die so we may live", reaffirming individual (and regional) freedom and identity in the face of an encroaching normative force of "Germanness".
You don't often see a constitutional court getting into analysis of a punk song but when it happens, well, it's glorious. And Nazis loathe that sentiment. Two years ago the Bundestag had a debate about regional and minority languages, the AfD was incapable of finding a single parliamentarian of theirs who spoke any. The thing is that while they're the ones shouting loudest about "protecting German culture", they're the last ones to actually value any culture from anywhere in Germany -- they want to replace everything with their own ideas, and German nationalism has been like that since pretty much forever. So, yes, Germany must die.
Very informative, thank you.
Sure, and "happy birthday" would be a genocidal statement if the idea was to kill or displace the majority of Scottish.

Well, they are getting us used to tolerating mass genocide
As someone who lives in Occupied Palestine, im not surprised. The IOF is a cruel genocidal military and the occupation government that backs them are just as bad.
So... Just point or clarity.... They used him as a human shield then killed him because he survived being a human shield or did being a human shield kill him but later?
The group that used him as a human shield didn't kill him directly. They sent him and his wife south, because the area they were found in was considered evacuated.
When an area is considered evacuated every non-IDF person is shot on sight. They knew it, and "forgot" to update over the radio about the elderly couple that will pass through. So the next group of soldiers shot them on sight.
Fucking war criminals
This is why you never cooperate.
