    You made a pretty big claim here about American military uniforms being worn in Gaza.

    What is your source?

      Literal pictures and videos of IDF soldiers wearing their American uniform. I have posted them a few months back if you’re willing to dig through my post history you’ll find them.

        So your answer to my ask for your source is “look it up yourself”?

            A US Flag doesn’t make it a US Uniform

            Ryan McBeth already went over this

            No, because a soldier wearing a patch is not the same as a soldier wearing the uniform which was what you said.

            You’re conflating two things here, the twitter account claims something stronger.

              And there it is another goalpost moved.

              The “Am Yisrael Chai” , project has raised $1.5 million to buy 4,000 tactical helmets, and 25,000 pieces of clothingincluding tactical uniforms, fireproof overalls, and winter gear, and is literally saving lives

              Surely now you concede

                There have even been pictures of American-israeli soldiers proudly wearing their American uniform in Gaza.

                Your words.

                Did you mean “their American funded uniform” by your words or did you mean the uniform they own as an American service member?

                By context maybe this is a misunderstanding and you meant the former, however your words more directly state the latter.

                That is the only goalpost, your words. What did you mean by them?

                If it’s the former, and you meant their uniform funded by the USA then ok I misunderstood you.

                If it’s the latter then I still wait for you to provide any substance to back up your claim.

                Here on Lemmy where the points are so small anyone with critical thinking skills can see what’s being said here. We all see you.

                  I just linked you proof that debunks both your claims you just refuse to see it.

                    So I made no claims, I asked you to back up your claims.

                    It’s telling you refuse to answer my simple question.

                    I gave you an out.

                    Do you think that because a military style uniform is bought from a given country, it is automatically the military uniform?

                    If I buy a military style uniform from France, am I now a soldier of france?

                    What about blackwater PMC wearing uniforms purchased in the USA. Are they soldiers in service to the US Army? If they bought their uniform from china as the manufacturing is cheap, are they now Chinese Military?

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
