Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- 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. --

It is hard to watch. There isn't any blood or gore but I keep turning this video over in my head. He fought to the end, even when his body lay shattered

The Biden administration is claiming this will bring the war closer to ending, as if this was the goal and not ethnic cleansing and genocide.

If it did stand a chance of diminishing Hamas' fighting capabilities, it would only push Israel further into a brutal confrontation with Iran. Iran certainly doesn't want to sacrifice everything against the US, but the fact is the US would be dashed against the rocks. Iran is burying the dream of war with China that Russia coldly strangled to death in view of everyone on earth.

He gave everything for the struggle, this is one of the most insane videos I have ever seen. I almost feel like the Israelis showing me this was some kind of mistake?

Putting out a video of your enemy fighting honorably to his last breath and dying while still firmly standing on his feet like a fucking anime character seems like a really bad idea

I didn't want to say it but if you put this in a video game or a movie it would seem like a ludicrous level of grit that no human being could be expected to match.

Dare I say he makes me feel like a loser? Not trying to make it about me. 🥲

At the risk of sounding like a slop hog, reminds me of Tom Hanks at the end of saving private Ryan

[–] scarcity_of_the_self@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

That's good to mention actually because these kinds of heroics are now TERRORISM when they're not Tom Hanks.

Sometimes we need you slop hogs - I mean MEDIA LITERATES sorry

It is weird they released this video instead of doing it Osama style saying he went out trying to cowardly use one of his wives as a human shield
