Also spraying Glyphosphate (a known cancer inducing biocide) across all the crops in the area to poison the plants and the people, along with using White Phosphorus (an incendiary weapon banned under the Geneva convention due to it being so good at causing third degree burns and fires that cannot be put out, along with poisoning the ground and water.) on Lebanese and Gazan villages and refugee camps.

Didnt tango recently take it off the banned chemicals list because some farmer in a big hat told him that the bees deserve to die or something? Or was that asbestos? (My condolences if you live over there, with luck it'll happen any day now)

Using manhacks straight out of Half-Life 2 to do it is new, though.

I think the implication here, or what I picked up from the article was that these quadcopters potentially did not have humans in the “kill chain”

They've been using these for years already in Gaza, but the more coverage the better

Also the drones can play sounds of crying children from speakers to get adults to come out in search of injured children, then shoot them.

source?

I am posting western sources (some even zionist) because users can’t read Arabic well documented sources or may take a blind eye due to brainwashing and dehumanizing of Arabs in the past 50 years.

This definitely harkens back to blood libel, but also if you're gonna murder people so you can take their shit why draw the line at just taking their land when you can get a lot of money for their organs. It'd be a waste not to on a purely logical point of view. Fucking monsters.

Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!

If you look at it from the top side it looks "copterish". If you look at it from the genocide, well...

Isn't this what all the experts signed against?

quick_snail@feddit.nl · 2 pts · 37d

Yeah, idk which is worse: children or doctors

bouh@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 38d (2 replies)

Is it really worse if it's done with drones ? Or are you just learning about the children massacres ?

brachiosaurus@mander.xyz · 4 pts · 38d (1 reply)

Drones firing bullets and hunting people around it's something i've seen only in videogames, i believe this weapon is a turning point that will change society, we are going to see drones flying around cities capable of shooting at people, in gaza they are already seeing them.

bouh@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 27d

Well, drone warfare is how war is done now. Ukraine changed war for this, like ww1 changed how war was made in the past. Everyone will do it with drones now, or lose its army to drones.

  1. After reading the report: To me this sounds not really credible. Stabilising and aiming a quadcopter outside is difficult and doing that with a weapon a dozen meters away pointing at a child is even harder. And why just target children with it? The group of persons that will likely get you into very bad publicity? The whole report is also based on 5 alleged cases (in one case the kid was run over by a car?). There is also no image of a CT scan, photographic evidence of a quadcopter with a gun or other evidence anywhere in the report. I think that it's more likely these have been "normal" deaths and a quadcopter was only present in the area.
  2. The only posts of you to this community are about Gaza. Looks like a violation of rule #5 to me. Maybe posts such stuff inside the corresponding communities but not here.

It doesn't sound much like you read the report, they are not only targeting children, it also sound you are in denial or unaware of the children casualties in the gaza genocide.

Looks like you are spreading lies, it's easy to verify that what you are saying is not true, why are you doing this?
