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.

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.

More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in the month since Hamas' terrorist attacks inside southern Israel, the group's health ministry in Gaza says.

But Hamas officials say the mounting death toll, believed to include thousands of children, has not caused the group to regret its actions in southern Israel, which Israeli officials said killed 1,400 people.

In fact, Hamas leaders say that their goal was to trigger this very response and that they're still hoping for a bigger war. It's all part of a strategy, they say, to derail talks over Israel normalizing relations with regional powers — namely, Saudi Arabia — and draw the world's attention to the Palestinian cause.

Hamas, these officials say, is more interested in the destruction of Israel than what it sees as the temporary hardships faced by Palestinians under Israeli bombardment.

"What could change the equation was a great act, and without a doubt, it was known that the reaction to this great act would be big," Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the group's governing politburo, told The New York Times in an interview.

Heard this floating around in the webs: Hamas wanted a last standoff sort of fight, which would result in a higher death count vs. what was happening for decades, death of Palestine by smaller conflicts.

Crips/bloods and Independent (RFK Jr.) seem to be pushing for more war at the end of the day, so looks like Iran/Yemen and others will join in on the fight. Biden sent US troops closer to the conflict, so once US deaths are seen conflict on the US side will increase.


Heard somewhere that the people in charge of Israel were also helping fund Hamas so as to increase conflict... -Tangent thought: reminded me of Clinton proping up Trump, so as to have an easier win in 2016

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

Not sure how usernames determine everthing about someone.

Viewpoints will not always align with your prefered way of thinking.

It is good to learn to talk with people that are different from what you think, so as to help when talking with others.

Hope you have a great day!

Bro we've spent a b u n c h of time having this discussion. You are very confused. Its kind-of sad.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see it as sad.

Just social media/forum talks with some peeps.

All is good, have a great day!

The part that is sad is that you don't seem to understand where you are at with this. Its a bummer, because thats the job misinformation, like Jimmy Dore puts out, its what it is supposed to do. And its obviously working. I believe your intentions are good, but you are misinformed.

Thanks for letting me know, I made an edit.
