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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

This is an unusual approach given how the campaign has gone so far. Why?

It's the beginning of Ramadan, that's gotta be intentional provocation right?

I fully expect the Israeli government to be true to their words. They are very trustworthy and I see no reason why they would slaughter civilians in Rafah after all the hostages are released.

My mom agrees with me, too. We were talking about this topic today, I told her how I'll always trust Israel, then she said "okay love", then she covered her face with her hands and would you believe it, she simply disappeared! And not five seconds later, she moved her hands and lo and behold, there she was again! Holy shit, so cool!

I support Israel and I'm going to die choking on a loaf of bread because I didn't know you're supposed to slice it first.

I fully expect the Israeli government to be true to their words.

How many hostages have they already killed with their bombing campaigns who will never be recovered?

It isn't about them keeping their word, its about them setting terms they already know can never be fulfilled.

It's fucked up, even the fact that they expect the world to take their word for it shows me two things. First, that the international media is willing to just swallow anything Israel says, hook, line and sinker. Second is that Israel simply assumes that to be true from the get-go.

If the media has not held them accountable for declaring safe-zones and then bombing them immediately afterwards, they're not about to do it this time around either.

Are there even any hostages left? I figured Israel had murdered them all by now

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

maybe they feel they need more 'justification' to use as propaganda in the wake of faltering popular support in the west and the ICJ ruling. I doubt Isreal has any intent on honouring this if the hostages are released, either blowing them up and blaming hamas or making up fake hostages and saying hamas still has some after releasing all.
