Good use of editorial passivity. Ceasefire just "ended", it wasn't broken.

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.

I also like, “Israeli bombs strike Gaza”. How did Israel’s bombs get up in the sky? Did they not expect them to fall to the ground and explode?
How about “Israel bombs Gaza”?
Democrats or Republicans, your rulers are Zionists.
Yeah, most Israelis have no regard for humanity.
400+ Palestinians killed already. Many dead babies on my timeline.
Israel also took advantage of the ceasefire to kill top Hamas officials who are protected under the ceasefire. Zionist pigs are the scum of the earth.
Why wouldn’t Israel restart the killings of top Hamas officials? Hamas declared war on them, the ceasefire ended without being extended, Hamas is still holding Israelis hostage and captive, and Hamas has not yet surrendered. Seems pretty expected tbh
The ceasefire was still in effect. As long as talks were ongoing. And Israel sent a delegation last weekend for talks so they are ongoing.
Israel did not end the ceasefire it violated the ceasefire. Massively.
Simply not true, the first phase of the ceasefire explicitly lasted 42 days and came to an end on Feb 26.
Israel and mediators continued to attempt to negotiate after that date but the ceasefire itself and its agreed upon terms came to an end Feb 26, 42 days after the start of Phase 1 on Jan 15
The second phase went in which Israel instantly violated. But the negotiations were still ongoing. Meaning it was in effect.
While israel did violate the ceasefire more than 900 times with no real violations from Hamas, the ceasefire was officially still in effect. Israel also violated the ceasefire many times during the first 42 days and did not allow the promised aid in.
they're pretty much good to go now that tiktok and reddit have been censored
I was actually still surprised to see that some Luigi praise has been getting through on TikTok.
Rednote is still better though.
How's X lately? Seems like you'd know
I'm anticapitalist and it's inevitable conclusion of fascism when the unrestrained capitalists finally gets their way.
X is literally owned by a fascist, basically the stupid Goebbels to Trump's stupid Hitler. And sadly, they represent the general malice of the US and our toxic hyper-individualism perfectly. Sounds like you just lump everything you think is bad together.
No world superpower isn't drenched in blood, but China actually seems to care about there being a future for their people and future generations beyond the next quarterly earnings call. Why wouldn't a humanist root for that over this dog eat dog rigged race to the bottom with no plan, actively eviscerating any future to goose the next rich fuck earnings call as our neighbors die of exposure under and ~~police~~ capital defense force brutality under a freeway in a box after the capitalists are done breaking us?
i didnt read your post but im on every social media platform in existence because im an addict
Trump - "Israel should finish the job"
Israel - "Well, if you insist!"
Wonder what would be happening if we had President Harris right now. I mean, this attack would probably still be happening but at least under her protesting would be legal.
Gaza would still be getting bombed, just with a hint of virtue-signalling
If you look at how they cracked down on protests under Biden I wouldn’t be so sure about that protest part and that’s the actual tragedy.
Harris or Trump it doesn’t really matter. The difference is that Trump is mask off fuck diplomacy about it while the dems push the brakes a bit to try and keep up the "America good“ narrative that no one believes anymore anyways. As for the groups that were lucky enough to benefit from democrat cronyism, I genuinely feel sorry for them.
The American people got fucked over badly in this election, their political system failed them.
lol, yes that is exactly right. Everything between Harris and Trump is exactly the same except Trump's diplomacy. You really have your finger on the pulse of world events.
Exactly. She would be like: Terrorist state of Isreal has right to defend itself then giving more money to Isreal.
She wouldn't condemn shit. They would have "concerns" and be "looking into it" like they were doing under Biden for 15 months.
Jeez, and I seem to recall a few .ml accounts calling me a shitlib just before the inauguration because I didn't think the orange dumbass was going to do anything to stop bibi from continuing murdering people within a couple months.
People are being bombed to death in Gaza and your first instinct is to gloat about a political grievance. They were right to call you a shit lib.
Yep, my talking about tankies being wrong is gonna change bibi's murderous campaign. Good job, you've solved the gaza situation with how pure your thoughts are.
I'm sure the people being deported for supporting Palestine are very happy the "genocide enabling" Democrats lost.
republicans will allow a genocide in Ukraine though right? and news flash, democrats dont enable genocide, we are in fact, very against it, and we also in fact, didnt like biden either
That is why I put "genocide enabling" in quotes.
There have been 7 weeks of ceasefire this year. There would have been 0 under Biden.
wait....so if its biden its bad. but if its trump its "stop funding oversea wars" pot calling the kettle black a bit.
Both are bad. Between two bad options, the one that provides a 7 week ceasefire is better than the one that provides no ceasefire.
How are you so sure Harris wouldn't do anything? I'm very curious where this all comes from. It's funny because rep is like "stop wasting our tax money over seas" but when a president says "I won't be a part of it" then reps say "oohhhhh they support genocide oohhhhhh"
Like dude. It's a WAR overseas. Russia trampled Ukraine, shot and raped civilians. But what do reps say? "Stop funding a war overseas".
Like hypocritical, just stfu. Eat your words or go away.
Harris' rhetoric of a two-state solution and ceasefire were no different than than Biden's rhetoric, both were not genuine. Both are on record for opposing the weapons embargo, which was THE way to force Israel is agree to the ceasefire. It was always empty rhetoric, meanwhile the administration continued to fund the genocide with billions of our tax payer dollars.
The rhetoric coming out of the White House, when it has been focused on peace or restraint, rather than continuous war, has been undercut at every turn by its actions. The constant supply of weapons — $17.9 billion of bullets, bombs, shells, and other military aid in the past year — has allowed Israel to keep waging its war on Gaza, and in recent weeks, expand that war to Lebanon and threaten to escalate its conflict with Iran. Despite documentation of U.S. weapons being used in probable war crimes, and credible allegations that Israel is committing genocide in its war on Gaza, the bombs have continued to flow.

I can't imagine getting these orders, to break ceasefire, and actually executing them. It's monstrous...
Ceasefire wasn’t broken it came to an end and neither party agreed on its extension.
This is completely false. Israel violated the active ceasefire.
Stage one
This officially lasted for 42 days, during which:
- Hamas released 25 living Israeli hostages and eight dead hostages
- Israel released about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees from Gaza
- Israeli forces left populated areas of Gaza
- Displaced Palestinians returned to their neighbourhoods
- Hundreds of aid lorries were allowed into Gaza each day
- Israeli troops remained in Gaza's border areas, including the southern Philadelphi Corridor, and left the Netzarim Corridor, a military zone cutting off the north of Gaza from the south
Stage two
Negotiations on the second stage were meant to begin 16 days after the start of stage one - but this did not happen. Like stage one, stage two is also meant to be completed within 42 days.
Stage 1 began on Jan 15. 42 days after Jan 15 is Feb 26, so the ceasefire and its terms ended Feb 26, even though Israel did not attack right away.
Should a phase 2 have been negotiated it would have begun on Feb 27 at the conclusion of phase 1 but Hamas was not willing to budge on Israel’s demand for their surrender of control and Israel was not willing to budge on Hamas’ demand for returning control of the Netzarim corridor. So, at an impasse the phase 2 negotiations never occurred, the agreed upon terms of the ceasefire ended Feb 26, and as Israeli citizens are still being held captive dead and alive in Gaza, israel has resumed its offensive campaign to destroy hamas.
You don’t need to make things up dude
I love that the ~30 are hostages and the 2900 are "prisoners and detainees." Lets be honest. They're hostages too. Shouldn't Israel be more willing to release their significantly larger number of hostages?
