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.

Sure looks like track marks on the shirt. Also looks suspiciously well lined up. Alive or dead, whoever did it did not deviate from their angle at all.
The zip tie on his wrist is the "worst thing" as it means he was an israel prisoner/hostage.
What's awful is that the first link is spent and the second link works. (Your post is 2h old at the time of this one)
Why are they prisoners when talking about Israelis and detainees when talking about Palestinians?
We’re gonna need a Hebrew version of that Chinese copypasta folks use to counter tankies about Tianenmen Square.
As damning as the images are, let's remember we live in an age of unprecedented misinfo. Which doesn't just include fake images, but can also include easier things like lying about the context of the image. I don't see any source other than this one and social media posts so that's why I'm suspicious.
Edit: Ok my cautious uncertainty is being downvoted by the uncautiously certain. So maybe I need to do a better job of pointing out why this might be BS:
- The picture has no context. We can tell it's a slightly dark skinned person, which means it could be a Palestinian, or a Syrian, or an Iraqi, or a Houthi, or an Afghan....
- But, you say...do we know of any other executions like this? Why, yes we do. ISIS certainly did this, there's videos of it.
- Of course, this all assumes the picture is real. And there's really no guarantee it is. One problem I can see off the bat is that the prisoner has a zip tie on his hand, BUT it's tight around his wrist, unlike how you'd imagine someone would be zip tied - around both wrists. Another problem is that the arm is intact, meaning he wasn't zip tied around his back which is how it's usually done. It's possible this was a soldier run over by a tank in a combat zone, and the zip tie was added later. Or the whole image is fake. Or the whole image is real and there's some reasonable explanation for the oddness of the zip tie, I really don't know. But it at least might be BS on some level.
Yeah surely the IDF wouldn't commit war crimes and do Genocide. The're the most moral army in the world!
Strawman. I'm not someone who looks highly on how the IDF is acting. But these images cause an emotional reaction, and I can't find the source other than a social media claim (on the most disinfo-friendly social media network) that itself cites hearsay. I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that it has massive red flags and needs confirmation.
Counterpoint: the IDF is doing these things specifically to create anger and resentment because they need continued terrorism on Israelis to keep their casus belli in play. They're provoking it so they can continue ~~ethnic cleansing~~ defending themselves.
You think western media is gonna show Israeli war crimes this horrific, much less talk about it?
Yes, western media includes a lot more than safe stations like CNN. But furthermore, it could be any media, arab media like Al Jazeera, whatever. No one is posting about this other than on social media.
OP gave a link to an actual non social media news source.
I don’t see any source other than this one and social media posts so that’s why I’m suspicious.
Welcome to the internet and OSINT lol.
