“The IDF regrets the inconvenience caused,”
They were literally shooting in their direction, not making them wait a little longer at some checkpoint.

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.

I hope one day soon the west will wake up from their collective guilt and hold these bastards accountable. I can't see it happening in my lifetime, but one can hope.
Condemnation and bullshit UN resolutions that keep getting vetoed mean nothing. Countries need to start sanctioning Israel with or without American approval.
Sanctioning? Put fucking boots on the ground and start shooting back. These people are literally psychotic monsters. And they need to be put down.
In an ideal world yes, but we're talking about an extremist government that has some of the world's heaviest weapons as well as nukes. And given their decades long bleating like sheep about how they're the victims they will no doubt burn the world before that happens.
I'd love nothing more than to have a court order the two populations to swap places, to see how they like living in an open air prison. I mentioned sanctions because they are the only realistic option at the moment.
Back in the 1930's France and the UK said "this goes too far" and they declared war on nazi Germany because they were tyrants. And that was before they started to ship jews and other minorities to concentration camps, and before they committed horrible war crimes. Israel already showed their true colors, by committing horrible war crimes and crimes against humanity. And not just since the invasion, for years Israel has been the only country with apartheid, conducting illegal annexation of Palestinian territories.
So the fact we, the west, haven't denounced the Israeli Nazi regime and their war crimes and are still actively supporting them by supplying them with weapons and spare parts is beyond any logical comprehension.
During the war in Syria the west denounced the use of chemical weapons by Assad and Russia, while being proud we all together are better than that and uphold a higher standard. I'm disgusted by the fact this has all been lies, as we are just as inhumane and crual but are too blinded by money and power to see that. Ignorance is a bliss I guess. But it's at the cost of thousands of innocent people, including many children.
We shouldn't be supporting or denouncing nations, but actions. Even though Israel is a friendly nation, we shouldn't close our eyes for the otrocities committed by our so called friend.
I will never be friends to nazis and I will always speak out against nazism.
As a disclaimer (sad I have to do this, but there are people labeling anti-genocide as antisemitism), I want to state I'm also against racism and discrimination, including antisemitism. I'm against the Israelean state for their actions, I'm not against jews. I hate all religions and cults equally, but that's another story.
Do you have any evidence that they're suffering from psychosis? Drag would rather you call them hateful bastards than implicate schizospectrum disorders.
Psychotic as in psychopaths...
I gave it about a year before the world had decided it had enough with blatant genocide but society is nowhere close to where I thought it was. All those documentaries and classes about the Holocaust when i was a child and by the time I'm grown up we've already disregarded it completely.
Never again (as long as they're white European stock or Jewish ) should be the new slogan.
Imagine killing civilians and assisting in starving kids to death to the extent that you feel comfortable merely saying “sorry for the inconvenience” when firing on foreign diplomats. I would have thought a solider would say they saw a terrorist flying on a broom behind them before admitting that. These guys were brazen enough to say “sorry you feel that way”. Astounding.
Clearly they were diplomats working with Hamas terrorists
The diplomats threw rocks at the IDF vehicle and Israel has the right to defend itself.
With friends like Israel you won't need enemies.
“The threats against diplomats are unacceptable,” the country’s [Italy] Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani added in a social media post on X.
Oh, but a 2 year genocide and crackdown on anyone pointing it out was acceptable? Fuck these cunts
You think they’ll stand up for Palestinians when they won’t for their own diplomats?
