I don't think the original article is the best source on its own, but...

That's the current UK policy, which of course condemns discussion on the massacres of babies (of which no proof has been given and which the White House has been forced to retract statements regarding) as "glorifying terrorism."

Netanyahu is further to the right than the Tories, is more emotionally invested in the conflict, and has more to lose if pro-Hamas sentiment spreads. Moreover, given the context of how the Israeli government has enforced media laws in the past, it's not that far of a stretch. The big leap being made I think is that the government is "planning" to do this, not that it's already done so.

lemmy.ca defederated from hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, who are driving top-level comments on here. Since you can't see the top-level comments, you also can't see any discussion below.

I opposed lemmy.ca's decision to defederated from hexbear based on the perceived behaviour of hexbear users on other instances for exactly this reason: I think an instance's role is to police the actions of users posting to that instance, not to police their users' exposure to other instances.

IDF reliability in reporting is at an all-time low.

Not surprising, Egypt cannot handle 2 million refugees and once the Palestinians leave, there's no way Israel is letting them back.

The fact that I have to is a condemnation of this community.

The Biden administration is deciding US policy in this matter.

I can show you the progress every developed country has made towards fascism over the past three or so decades.

Palestinians want freedom and sovereignty, the Israeli government wants the exact opposite, and most Israeli people either support the government or don't care what happens (particularly because they get ~~free real estate~~settlements out of it).

Everyone knows that the UN is a Hamas front. Providing the UN with water is akin to providing Hamas with the heads of babies.

The EU hasn't had a good genocide in a while so they're living vicariously through Netanyahu

Solid proof. Have you considered sending this to the White House so Biden can make a statement?

People have a right to fight for their freedom. The appropriate response to this (if Israel actually cared) is not to push them down and kill people, but to pull them up by developing their economy and social systems.
