-- 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 --

-- 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. --

Snip:

Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to experts from the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.

The Commission found that Israeli authorities and security forces "committed four of the five genocidal acts defined by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide," namely: murder, causing serious physical or psychological harm, deliberately establishing living conditions designed to bring about the complete or partial destruction of the Palestinian people, and imposing measures intended to prevent births, according to a press release accompanying the Commission's report.

It also concluded that Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and ex-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant incited genocide, and that Israeli authorities failed to take action to punish them for doing so.

Navi Pillay, Chair of the Commission, stressed that the international community "cannot stay silent on the genocidal campaign launched by Israel against the Palestinian people in Gaza." "When clear signs and evidence of genocide emerge, the absence of action to stop it amounts to complicity," Pillay pointed out.
