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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
A Hamas assertion on Saturday that some hostages had died was rejected as "a blatant lie" by the Israeli military.
The only way this could be a "blatant" lie is if the Israeli military had not already murdered a dozen of the hostages they claim to be rescuing. Of course it's not a lie at all but even if it was it would be an extremely plausible one.
They've already admitted it! https://www.npr.org/2023/12/15/1219695220/israel-soldiers-mistakenly-kill-hostages-gaza . I'm sure there are more examples, but this is the main one I remember.
Yes I am aware that's why I said even if this time was a lie it would by no means be a blatant one.
Sorry, I know you know, my exclamation point was because I can't stop screaming about this and was not directed at you.
All good this whole situation should make people furious. Though I do wish the same level of rage were directed at the US gov for the ongoing genocide of its indigenous population.
Settlers have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, no one can change my mind.
How anyone over there can think this is appropriate even remotely is mind numbing
