Inside Gaza the small, densely populated strip of land is now packed with bodies. Families, fleeing repeatedly to escape offensives, bury their dead wherever possible.

    The true death toll passed 40,000 a long time ago. These are just the bodies that have been recovered and identified.

      Right, we’re talking likely 2% or more of the entire population killed so far. That’s horrific

      if we’re lucky, there’s be a paragraph about it between to the paragraph about the trail of tears and the other paragraph about martin luther king jr in american history books.

        I highly recommend Lies My Teacher Told Me, American history textbooks are fucking garbage lol

        For example, that the US Army hunted buffalo to near extinction specifically to starve the plains natives, it was a deliberate strategy of using starvation as a weapon. I was taught it was just “”“poaching”“” from settlers and that it was all an accident.

          that and A People’s History of the United States informs most of what i know.

          i also marvel from time to time at how the bullshit that i was taught when i was young can still completely overpower the things i learned in my young adulthood; and it somehow got worse once i reached middle age.

    The entirety of Hamas consists of about 10,000 people. So let that sink in for a bit.

      Well for one metric: the nazi’s killed 300 times as many civilians per day. Most of them systematically shipped off to extermination camps

        Gaza is comparable to a large concentration camp not the entire Holocaust.

        During the majority of the Holocaust it looked like Gaza. Only near its end were the exterminion camps in full force.

          Are you saying Israel is shipping people into Gaza to kill them?

          Last I heard they were very happy to see people move out through the south, but Egypt was asking 5k per person… Bit different from the nazi’s stopping jews from escaping in WW2

            The last I read is that, the burn their villages, occupied their homes, refuse they comeback, but a wall around them, pervent anything from coming in or going out… and now bombing them.

            While those who didn’t go to Gaza are: getting force out of their home, displaced, kidnapped and put in prison, getting tortured and raped.

            Yes you cannot compare the two…

            Yes. Those Palestinians used to live over all of Palestine until they were ethnically cleansed.

            Many who suffered the Nakba are now confined in the Gaza concentration camp.

              I think you should go do some research into what the real concentration camps were

              Also, why do you think Egypt charges so little to let them out?

                Palestinians aren’t treated as human under Apartheid. Israel literally jails children without trial or with a forced confession, and tortures them. Palestinians are jailed without charge, forced into false confessions, routinely tortured, raped, denied medical attention, and yes killed.

                  At the height of the holocaust, nazi’s and their collaborators killed 500.000 jews per month

                  How do you think the Egyptians decided on the price to let people out of Gaza?

A community for discussing events around the World

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.
