Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Everything less than a clear win against Hamas will be seen as a sign of weakness by many states in the Middle East.
Hamas IS being condemned, rightfully so.
I have seen no German or International Media that cheers on the killing of Palestinian civilians. None.
There will be deaths of civilians because they are close to Hamas Targets though. This is unfortunately the reality of war - but those deaths are on Hamas.
This is such a strange conclusion for me. It rests on the assumption that the IDF never targets civilians on purpose. We know, from documented evidence and 75 years of history, that that is not the case and that Israel never, ever, ever answers to any of the human rights violations it has brought into the world.
Sorry to burst this bubble but the reason there are civilian deaths is because Israel dehumanized Palestinians long ago so killing them now is okay.
So the deaths caused by Hamas are on Hamas, and also the ones caused by Israel are on Hamas? Yeah, hold my beer while I totally absolve Israel of any blame despite its track record of war crimes..
I have a question for you: do Palestinians deserve self-determination?
I know. Do you understand why I wrote how I wrote it?
To break it down for you: "This thing that's right. This people that's right. But also this."
It's to let you see these three things on a smiliar level.
Now, then. You also misundstood the cheering part as literal. It is to be taken as encoragement. Our politicians support all of Israel's actions as defense, that includes cutting off electricity, fuel and water, bombing whole blocks which killed among many innocent palestinians UN workers, and the recent announcement for hundreds of thousands of people to relocated within 24 hours.
Just to correct that, one million people are told to evacuate. This is the same amount of people living in all of Stockholm.
