One of the reasons people won't drop it is that the mods keep disingenuously calling videos like the one al-saqr was referencing "gore videos." I think that the rules as laid out in the OP are fine, but that despite admitting that there is an acceptable spectrum of tolerance for violent images and the implication of violence in images, you keep painting what is explicitly named as ok with a warning as being the same as what is not.

"105 IDF soldiers have died in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the ground maneuver, 13 of them - from our own forces' fire

Anyone who has seen any of the footage IDF releases of them in urban combat can see that they are flagging each other constantly, no one lowers their barrels even when other soldiers are directly in front of them. it's not a precision thing, it's panic and no training.

It is like the urban warfare equivalent of watching 1st graders play soccer where no one plays positions or anything, they all cluster up around the ball and just end up kicking each other in the shins

I do think there's something to be said about how Hamas's videos are so [relatively] sanitized that they had to release an entirely separate video of a burnt out tank, to prove that they were capable of landing hits that could kill tanks, because all the previous videos they released would show an explosion, but no aftermath

and even the video of the burnt out tank, was just the tank being burnt out

to say nothing of the tunnel video that was taken within 50 meters of IDF troops only ever showing Hamas fighters being able to get that close - whatever was supposed to have happened next is only ever implied by the extremely close distance sans detection

Also one of the better examples of senseless gore videos. loving israel always sneaks in some horrific image of a dead person after they shoot walls and hallways for 15 minutes. Hamas normally shows poo poo like sniper fire or rpgs at a distance and does not linger on suffering.

obviously there are a million exceptions to anything but the bloodlust is so palpable in the israeli released combat footage.

all violent images aren't automatically illegal. some cases are obvious and others require common sense and context to judge. for example, even if something doesn't show gore, if the intention of presenting it seems to be bloodthirst, that will run afoul of the rules. if you're not sure you'd be better off avoiding it.

It's loving with me that almost a fifth of the casualties they've admitted to are from accidents and friendly fire, along with all the officers. How exactly are they deciding which names to release? Because this is a bad look even if they're 100% honest about their casualty number, which they're almost certainly not.

it’s not that they’re sanitized, it’s that Hamas fighters aren’t stupid and are prioritizing winning a war over getting detailed footage. videoing yourself blowing up a tank from range is one thing, popping out of cover to get a good shot of the tank you just blew up to make sure everyone can see how blown up it is is suicidal.

yes. Korean POWs that returned with a favorable opinion on communism (there goes that Stockholm Syndrome again!) and wanted to whistleblow on US use of biological weapons were deemed to have been brainwashed as the only possible explanation for having the opinions that they did

and if the commies could brainwash people, then that means brainwashing could be discovered and learned by the West for its own purposes

and that sets off the entire Epstein-ian rabbit hole of America genuinely attempting to invent methods of brainwashing

quote:

From statements given by the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, it appears that IDF infantry units operating and fighting in the Gaza Strip make extensive use of the Smash sight manufactured by the Israeli company Smart Shooter.

For example, IDF Spokesperson's Unit photographs identified the sight of the "Maglan" special unit of the commando brigade which raided a terrorist's house and located underground shafts near a school in the Shati neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip. In addition, the spokesperson reported that the 51st battalion of the "Golani" brigade makes use of Smash sights to neutralize drone swarm threats launched at troops from the battalion.

According to SMARTSHOOTER, the SMASH family of Fire Control Solutions offers precise, swift, and simple hard-kill elimination of UASs. It put a precision anti-drone capability at the fingertips of its users, featuring built-in targeting algorithms that can track and hit even very small drones skimming along at high speed.

SMASH is a solution that brings all shooters to an expert level – even when countering small drones and UASs. Handheld operated, remotely controlled, or UGV mounted, the SMASH Family of fire control systems uses AI, computer vision, and advanced algorithms to ensure precise hit capabilities, enhance forces' situational awareness and lethality, and make sure that only the target will be hit and not any innocent bystanders.

SMASH Fire Control System (FCS) is an external add-on solution that can be integrated into any assault rifle. Once the user identifies the target (independently or using the detection system guidance) and locks on it, SMASH tracks its movements and synchronizes the shot release to ensure fast and precise hits on the target. Using computer-aided impact prediction processing, SMASH improves user situational awareness and promises precise, swift, safe, and simple hard-kill elimination of drone threats. SMASH can be operated as a stand-alone solution, as well as combined with other systems to provide an effective multi-layer defense solution.

SMASH allows connectivity with C4I systems, battle management systems, and external sensors. It can receive guidance from environmental sensors or detection systems, often enabling the systems to "see" the threat before the human eye can – especially in emergency situations, where every second counts.

The SMASH fire control systems are currently operational in various defense, HLS, and border security forces worldwide, spanning England, Europe, the USA, India, and others. Early 2018, we reported in "IsraelDefense" that the IDF purchased approximately 2,250 Smash sights for the infantry brigades and elite units in the IDF and they are mounted on the M4A1 and Tabor X-95 assault rifles.
