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 (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.

It's astonishing that it has to be said but rape is neither resistance nor leverage.
He's talking about the hostages though, did you miss that?
They are saying hostages are being raped.
Acting like Hamas totally wouldn't rape them while in captivity like they did on Oct 7th: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-23/ty-article/.premium/hostage-released-from-gaza-says-hamas-treated-female-hostages-like-dolls/0000018d-35d9-db8f-a7df-37fb5cf70000 (Archive link: https://archive.is/EN0ds)
That they don't allow the Red Cross access to the hostages is also very damning.
Mondoweiss repeatedly gets removed here for being an unreliable source. Try again.

What's strange is how you're desperately defending Hamas with a dubious source:
(https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/mondoweiss/ )
Is your rush to defend Hamas' "honor" another casual instance of "believe all women unless they're Jewish"?
Also sweetheart I am a Jewish woman who has been a victim of SA but of course let's make this about anti-semitism and misogyny 💋
I hope you're not hitting on me as this is the first time here that a female lemming created two accounts in a single day specifically for me 👀

Not one minute.
All you care about is these hostages when there is so much more that both of the belligerents can do to appease one another. Neither Israel nor Hamas is arguing in good faith and neither are you.
Holding the hostages is leverage. There's no proof their raping, they might be they might not be. Terrorists aren't the greatest of people obviously. But we're talking real politick, as in from their point of view, what's the best thing to do to achieve their political aims, not what's morally right. No one is defending Hamas, we're just saying we could say why they wouldn't want to release the hostages because then they have nothing to bargain with, and Israel will continue to kill Palestinians, oppress Gaza, and take West Bank settlements as they have for the last 70 years. They've even said their terms, they want a ceasefire.
Your reply is nonsensical with that context. It's like your brain is so warped by rage and Zionist propaganda that you can't imagine anything from anyone else's point of view. Holding hostages is leverage whether you like it or not, because as long as their alive, people want to see their family members back.
