Hamas has thousands of "command centers" it being a very top heavy organization and all. Its estimated for every Hamas soldier there's 10,000 managers - many of them women and toddlers - unanimously authorizing every war crime committed by Hamas.

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.

The claims relate to an eight-day operation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at the Kamal Adwan Hospital last week, which the military alleges was being used as a command and control center by Hamas.
Ohh another command and control center, the beating heart of Hamas operation.
If you guys don't feel good, be sure to visit your local Hamas command and control center.
Joke aside, the whole article is disturbing as fuck.

I don't understand why people believe them.
When Russia bombed civilian churches, apartments, hospitals, and said they were being used as military command centers and such, nobody believed them, it was an obvious lie.
But when Israel says it the whole world just says "Wow makes perfect sense, good job!"
Because calling something that Israel does bad is obviously antisemitic!
This goes deeper than many people realize. Netanyahu has spent the last couple decades getting criticism of the Israeli government codified as anti-semitism in countries around the world. You can actually lose government funding in many Western countries for "anti-semitism" that's just pointing out the Israeli government is bad.
Israel put up this whole thing about Tunnels. The thing is, Hamas does use tunnels. But Israel took that as an excuse to bomb anything that even looked like a tunnel on a drone video feed. With 2,000 pound bombs because of course every tunnel in Gaza is obviously super fortified.
The problem with that logic is that Gaza did have modern infrastructure. That means basements, under ground maintenance tunnels, or even just a shelter because Israel bombs Gaza about as often as a Tornado hits in the Midwest. With nothing more than a "hatch" or "tunnel entrance" as evidence, it's 100% war crime territory. But that requires people to actually think.

Most people aren't critical of the majority of the media they consume. If you live in a Western country, chances are that the media you get your news from frames Russia's invasion of Ukraine as illegal and immoral, and Israel's invasion of Gaza as legitimate self-defense.
