Somehow the Christian Right in America doesn’t care about Christian’s dying as long as they’re Arab.
Shhhhh, important to forget that Palestinians includes Christians. Easier to accept war crimes that way.
This is looking less and less like a war by the day, and more and more like mass execution.
Welcome to the the Palestinian holocaust...
Good thing the USA is good with it. :(
the real enimies are the ones calling for a cease fire
This is what nazi SS used to do. IDF is not different.
They learned from the best.
I wonder if that might get the Catholics to condemn Israeli war crimes?
I believe the Pope has already characterized these actions as terrorism.
Still, it just breaks my heart. Day after day, so many innocents killed and maimed. It must stop.
Prior to the October 7 attack, the Pope publicly raised the issue of Jewish settlers attacking Palestinian churches. Far right extremist Itamar Ben Ghavir, the cabinet minister tasked with domestic policing, refused to condemn the attacks and said this was justifiable given how anti-Semitic churches are.
I think it's spelled Ben-Gvir, but I'm glad his name is starting to reach American ears. The guy is both the head of the national police and also literally a convicted terrorist.
Biden and Blinken and their allies in media need to start recognizing that Sending weapons to a government that includes convicted terrorists has to be a red line. The guy was on Israeli AND American watchlists before he got appointed to be in charge of the entire Israeli police and prisons. That's just insane. And he's apparently the second most extreme member of the cabinet (the most radical is Bezalel Smotrich, who was charged but never convicted of terrorism).
Amazing how much death and destruction being carried out in the name of a god.
What a beautiful picture.

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.
