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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

MODERATORS
The purpose of this thread is to document crimes and atrocities conducted by Israel in Palestine.
Ground Rules:
- Only post verified reports with proof.
There have been multiple instances of fake news being mixed up with real news which undermines real crimes.
- Proper backup of the data should be ensured
Western controlled media and social media will definitely wipe evidence. For this reason, it's necessary to preserve everything on a safe host. For news articles or twitter threads, use the web archive.
Please feel free to mention any other safe / immutable places to store information and I'll add them here.
- Proper formatting should be a priority
This is a serious effort thread so please treat it as such.
Whenever posting something, include the source, context,what happened and evidence.
Top Level comments should preferably only be what the post is for. I ask you to give your opinions either in the news mega or in the sub comments.
- CW any link to proof that shows pictures of dead or badly wounded people.

Israel cut off food, water, and fuel supplies from Gaza. This is a war crime under the Geneva Convention as it is collective punishment of civilians.
Gaza also has no way to treat water for all the population inside its own borders, and has little access to fresh water. Of the fresh water that is available, the vast majority is toxic. As the flow of building materials into Gaza is restricted by the Israeli state, Gaza has not been able to build the necessary infrastructure to survive having their supplies cut off. The UN has built 3 water desalination plants in Gaza, but the water they supply is not sufficient for all of Gaza. Furthermore, because electricity and fuel have been cut off, even the 3 water desalination plants built in Gaza won't help if they cannot be powered.
