Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

“A Textbook Case of Genocide”: Israeli Holocaust Scholar Raz Segal Decries Israel’s Assault on Gaza
800+ Legal Scholars Say Israel May Be Perpetrating 'Crime of Genocide' in Gaza
Law for Palestine Releases Database with 500+ Instances of Israeli Incitement to Genocide – Continuously Updated

I thought I explained to you already, that the moment you knowingly falsely accused people including myself- of supporting genocide, that you lost every bit of respect or attention I would have for anything you have to say.
You’ve got nothing bud. Learn from this and stop with the bullshit accusations. If the mods banned for accusations of genocide, the entire population of leftist would disappear from lemmy.
Keep posting your YouTube videos and propaganda. I’m not looking at, reading, or watching any of it.
I never said you support genocide. You are defending the US sending weapons to one, while denying that it is one.
I'm firmly anti-genocide. I'm against any group of people committing genocide against any other group of people.
If you consider human rights organizations, genocide scholars, multiple Israeli Historians, and multiple western and Israeli News sources propaganda, sure.
Again, you hide behind your false accusations to keep others on the defensive. I know exactly how your type works.
Your bullshit accusations fall flat when pressed up against reality. And if I tried to call you out on it and validate any of it- there’ll be a wall of pseudo-intellectual bullshit text and more YouTube links- all the while completely dodging the fact that you have no evidence to support that ANYONE actually supports genocide.
And I stand firm on my own accusation that you probably hand no idea where Palestine was a year and a half ago.
So spare me the bullshit. I’m not buying it.
Do better and stop accusing people of shit they’re not doing.
Ok, I'm sorry I falsely accused you.
Which source do you think is bullshit? I don't understand
Nope. That’s not how this works. Learn from this and stop doing it to others. It’s bad-faith and to some, incredibly insulting.
Move forward and do better. You might find some good discussions ahead.
Take care.
Lol, ok. You just called everything bullshit for no reason. I think you're right, take care
Soup is definitely a troll, they're phrasing everything like an exaggerated version of a smug debatelord
So you had a chance to walk away from this on a good note. But you instead chose to prove your little apology was complete bullshit.
I was right to not bother with your pseudo intellect bullshit. You’re out of gas bud.
Thanks for playing, but you lose.
