Rules:

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.

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.

"In one of the houses that we had been in, we had the big territory. This was the closest to the citizens' neighbourhood, with people inside. And there's an imaginary line that they tell us all the Gazan people know it, and that they know they are not allowed to pass it," he said. "But how can they know?"

People who crossed into this area were most often shot, he said. "It was like pretty much everyone that comes into the territory, and it might be like a teenager riding his bicycle," he said.

The soldier described a prevailing belief among troops that all Gazans were terrorists, even when they were clearly unarmed civilians. This perception, he said, was not challenged and was often endorsed by commanders.

@[email protected] thank you for sharing this important story. Please be aware that lemmy.world heavily censors discussion of the IDF. In the future please consider sharing these stories in a better community.

I am well aware that this place only allows establishment media. However in rare cases such as this one the establishment media reports against Israel which is why I posted it here.

They are censoring things posted to Lemmy.world? Just deleting things that talk about the IDF? I've seen lots of discussion of the IDF, including this post in my feed, so I don't think their censorship is working? I don't have any attachment to .world, trying to find out if I should leave the server based on this information

LW adheres by the liberal-Zionist MBFC rating system and deems critical of Israel antisemitic. You can have milquetoast opinions on the occuptation here but anything which goes past mainstream stances will get removed.

Specifically LW does not allow sources such as Zeteo and Dropsite news which do great reporting but are heavily critical of Israel. Instead it opts to ban all independent journalism. This used to be under the guise of MBFC but after MBFC specifically added these sites as credible they arbitrarily changed decided that they are 'blogs'.

I hadn't seen the "blog" discussion before. He's been pig-headed in the past, but that's inexcusable.

Here: watch this. Give it like 12 hours.

IDF soldiers are committing a genocide and every single one of them should be killed and their organs repurposed.

24h later, I still see it.

You are actually calling for a war crime (harvesting organs from enemy combatants) and your post is still up...

Haha yea. I wonder if they’ve realized how absurd their policies were and are slowly walking it back or if they just don’t have enough mods volunteering on account of being fascist bootlickers.

We shouldn't let propagandists throwing lies freely by stopping posting on lemmy.world
