'One of the most horrific massacres': Dozens killed in Israeli attack on Gaza 'humanitarian zone' - Lemmy.World

Israeli air strikes on a so-called “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, according to health authorities in the enclave. The strikes targeted at least 20 tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the coastal area near the city of Khan Younis. Eyewitnesses told AFP that at least five rockets fell in the area, with emergency services saying the strikes created craters up to nine metres deep.

      You can’t remain civil with people trying to downplay genocide through deflection, downscale, and redirection.

      If you are trying to articulate why this bothers you, the reader, as it does me then allow me to attempt an articulation:

      Giving this person free reign is not civility but license to exercise the normalization of genocide by painting its dissidents as irrational and uncouth; a license to dehumanize the victims of genocide as lost causes because Hamas has disqualified them from human protections. In other words, they are the white moderate from MLK’s reference. Paraphrasing for the modern times: I want to sympathize with your plight but it is unseemly to do so.

        Ah but you see, no one is justifying genocide.

      News mods not making themselves look any better.

      Amazing how only the one saying no look at hamas not the genocide or war crimes is okay.

    Demanding/enforcing ‘civility’ to shut down opposition in a discussion about an ongoing genocide is perverse

      How’s that one joke go? Two guys are standing in line at Auschwitz for the gas chamber. One of them starts complaining about Hitler and the SS. The other inmate tells him to quiet down or he’ll cause a scene.

      There’s an actual punchline but I forget what it is.
