- 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 (perjorative, perjorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
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.

So you don't have an answer either. I know I don't have an answer. In war, civilians are always impacted. Should Israel not have responded to Hamas' terrorist attack? Also, when are wars "over"?
Also, if Israel was really trying to genocide Palestinians, you can't honestly think the casualty numbers would be anywhere near where they are.
You can't just ignore their answer and say they don't have one just because you don't like it. Besides, it's a nonsense question, like "What's your answer to stopping Indian attacks?" during the US's settler colonialist period of western expansion and manifest destiny.
Israel can stop their oppression of Palestine and allow their citizens actual sovereignty and you've already cut off the source of Hamas support. You can even trade hostages for this. But the truth is, Israel cares more about the land they're sitting on and getting rid of the people on it then they do about their hostages.
Israel can't immediately kill everyone because they have to pretend they are the good guys for the US. But they are killing as fast as they can right below that line. Nazi Germany and the US did the same thing. First, gathering their targeted ethnicities in ghettos, then using their retaliation as evidence of the necessity for slaughter and displacement, then repeat and continue until they're all gone. It took the US hundreds of years to do their genocide, but nobody denies it was one.
Btw, this isn't a war, it's an occupation and ethnic cleansing. It's why one side has tens of thousands of civilian deaths and the other side doesn't.
They literally tell civilians to evacuate to specific places then bomb those places
1% of all Gazans have been confirmed killed. Many more are buried under rubble or otherwise missing. What else do you fucking want?
And by the way, what Israel should've done is stop their occupation of Palestinian lands. There's a reason Gaza is considered occupied under international law.
