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.

This is going to be unpopular, and I will accept the down votes. Also, I will never support Trump or any of his lackies. However, those on this forum believe that she is writing that as "finish them" towards the Palestinians, when in actuality I bet she's writing that as "finish them" towards hamas. That doesn't excuse anything. Just stating that they believe they are killing terrorists. They are just ignoring the innocent. Good intentions don't justify this though let me make that very clear.
I have no interest in downvoting you, but I would like to say that on priors, I would be surprised to learn that she saw "Hamas" and "Palestinians" as anything other than a distinction without a difference. She's electively of a set with Lindsey "Nuke Gaza" Graham, and she's voting for Trump apparently now, who has been very vocal about his support for the "kill them all" perspective.
Do you have specific evidence that leads you to believe otherwise, or is it more of a charity in humanity thing?
Nikki plainly said word by word "Palestinians came, robbed, and killed Israelis."

She recieved over a million dollar from AIPAC during last year alone and has been Israeli's right-wing puppet for over a decade. She also previously supported and made numerous genocidal statements including nuking Gaza.

Do you know who has the highest percent of immegrants in the whole world? Palestinians. Go look it up.
Israel before Oct-7 is an apartied state. They are land colonizers occupying, starving and continuely bombing and killing Palestinian people.
How can you pretend that was the best democracy in the middle east and most moral army when the treatment, evictions, land stealing, long and unjustified random imprisonmemt without charge, killings, and oppression the Palestinians were living, before Oct-7, was worse than living in the worst oppressive dictatorships of the middleeast? More than 90% of Israel prisoners are Palestinians. An Israeli can just kill any Palesinian kid and wouldn't get a week in jail. Go look up the 100000 of times that happened before Oct-7.
How do you pretend the way Israel was besieging Gaza and continuely "mowing the lawn" was acceptable? Palestinians have the right to just fucking live like Israelis. Is this statement unreasonable for you? If not, then they have the right to free themselves, and the whole western world must stop the hypocracy and pretend it's acceptable for Israel to exist the way it is. They muat sanction and isolate Israel's government like they did to Russia until it gets it act together and just be a normal country that does not colonize and kill people from different race or religion.
Unbelievable that you can see all this carnage, deliberate use of non surgical engagement, calling Palestinians animals, calling leveling entire population centers "mowing the lawn", and think they are fighting Hamas.
They know exactly what they're doing, they'll tell you themselves even.
Already cited two, but if you think "mow the lawn" is about Hamas, you're already too far up the IDFs sphincter to likely care
ah, pardon me, it seems i momentarily forgot how to read
Nimrata Nikki Randhawa just forgot she was brown.
I would argue that someone who writes "finish them" on weapons of war has absolutely no ability to comprehend nuances like the ones you described. That or she wants to be likened to people who lack that ability. Anyway, it's equally abysmal and she doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt you are trying to give her.
They were never fighting hamas to begin with
They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.
It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas' attack.
At a minimum they certainly knew it was coming and reduced the number of IDF near the border and sent in their own helicopters to shoot civilians so they could pump the civilian numbers up and blame Hamas.
It would be surprising to me
They haven’t taken it yet because of Hamas.
And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?
They’re there as resistance to the occupation. I’m not sure where these questions are going.
