No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Because it's a genocide. The point isn't to just take out Hamas and say "mission accomplished", it's to take out the entirety of Palestine and say "we tried our best to save them". Hamas has to continue existing in order for Israel to keep justifying every extension to this war.
If I had to guess, I'd say funding and plausible deniability are the big reasons. The longer the war wages on, the longer the US and other allies keep sending them money and weapons. And killing them off slowly makes it easier to argue to the ICC that you weren't trying to commit genocide, it just kinda happened as an oh-so-unfortunate side-effect of defending themselves.
It took the Germans a while to liquidate the Warsaw Ghetto. The Zionists have killed 200,000 so far (according to the Lancet) and rendered all of Gaza uninhabitable.
Rockets and bullets don’t count.
I refuse to allow Zionists to hijack the Jewish faith for their distorted agenda. Stop straw manning the argument.
If you believe that then I've got a pile of international NGO and UN reports you need to read.
Because they just might actually find some of the hostages. Also it's a great way to corral people and aid, and keep them separate.
Yup all of the international reports from NGOs and the UN are wrong. Israel says so, so it must be true right?
Are you talking about where they don't count the food Isrealis turn around?
And it very much is happening. It's happening right now and has been happening for months now.
Source: trust me bro
His source is the Israeli government.
Surely you cannot be serious

Lmao yeah no. I call bullshit.
This is exactly what I said. They are counting the trucks that pass the border. And not accounting for trucks that are turned around inside Gaza by Israeli troops. And your news story study is from the Israeli government. Who is about as trustworthy as a murderer on trial.
Oh and the FRC take on the IPC report. But your buddy on twitter was hoping nobody would realize that was just FRC's response to one report from FEWS. I'm not at all shocked they would present that as evidence of the whole instead of what it actually was. On the IPC website you will find that the people in Gaza have not been getting enough calories since February. Which is probably why countries have been air dropping food.
IPC report link
Oh really? The UN's own research? I'm sure you'll be willing to share?
Something more than an abstract accusing UNRWA of being unable to count because of Israeli actions?
And finally, no. You keep dodging around it but we're talking about checkpoints inside Gaza preventing aid from being distributed.
God this is tiring. This shit is headline news for months, nearly a year now. With report after report telling the same story. And yet Zionists are always around to tell us how this one crumb of information disproves it all if you just look at it sideways and don't actually read what it says.
So funny story. I've gone to every link you've provided to me and none of them were a UN study.
Also a funny story, one link I provided you had multiple IPC reports. So that tells me you aren't reading my links, and that your claim of "one FRC report" is laughable.
In the same lane, you also obviously didn't click though to the news article I provided in the last comment. Or you wouldn't have said something so demonstrably false about Gazan aid being turned around. Also, again, if you're going to comment in so many places, re-read the thread real quick to make sure you haven't forgotten something important. Like the fact that I mentioned that in the last 3 comments. It's not in fact something new.
Finally, accusing UNRWA of incompetence while blocking and attacking their aid convoys has been an Israeli propaganda line for most of the past ~10 months. The fact you've gone in on that twice now is enough for me to just leave this here. You're not here in good faith.
