      And the commanding officer only tried to stop them when they heard the last victim asking for help and realised it was in hebrew.

      Seems the IDF shoots first and asks questions later. This is what’s happened to unarmed jewish hostages, who were shirtless, holding a white shirt on a stick which is the universal sign of surrender. What about the million people living in gaza coming up against this? Holy fuck.

        That’s how the IDF have killed ~20k Palestinians and ~100 journalists in the last 2 months. Mass murder of the civilian population is the intended consequence when you’re indiscriminately bombing refugee camps and journalists.

        “If they move, they’re Hamas… If they stand still, they’re well disciplined Hamas” — IDF

      That’s a classic for the IDF, let them bleed or finish them. Last time one of their soldier went to trial took 9 months for that. But not an apartheid state at all, just very similar…

          Asking for a source should never be looked down on in discussions like this where misinformation can be rampant and accuracy is important

            Accuracy is the excuse of lazy people, if I want a source I look for it and if I want I share it. What you consider so important is not important at all. No one owns his time to you or anyone else.

              While I would like to agree with you, because far too often people dont ask for a source in good faith, would have to be consistent with the etiquette and require that the burden of proof falls on the person that makes a claim.

                  Nah you’re the one who’s confused. Nobody owes you their attention any more than you “owe” a source. And asking for a source is not the same as demanding or claiming to be owed. You incorrectly created that context in your own head.

          Google is not your friend when it keeps regurgitating AI generated articles and images. They aren’t your friend when the only way you can get “reliable” information is by appending ‘reddit’ at the end. They aren’t your friend when you search with clear terms and tags the suggested articles they present are recent $$$$$ boosted ones instead of clearly the popular article that broke the event.

          Asking for a source for breaking information that can significantly change a story should never be frowned upon. I asked, they initially admittedly provided tabloids, and then they provided legitimate sources. Lastly I thanked them for providing the source.

          In cases like this, it is new information that the person clearly had recent access to so asking for the source should be extremely easy. Asking someone to waste their time verifying someone else’s claims when that claim could be complete horseshit is silly. I can’t exactly come upon a source that does not exist.
