Rules:

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.

Nine homes, five tents and five animal pens were demolished, said Mohammed Rabia, head of the village council in the area.

COGAT, the Israeli military body responsible for administrative affairs in the occupied West Bank, said it demolished the buildings because they were built illegally in an area designated as a closed firing zone.

Palestinians have long said that securing Israeli permission to build in the West Bank is nearly impossible.

Thanks, it's very irritating when people falsely assume my positions, even if I've repeatedly done the opposite of what they claim.

Pivoting on Israel would have been a significant gain during the election, as dozens of poll on policy show. But that's yesterday's news. Palestine is still a critical component of the current resistance against fascism in America. Progressives gaining control of the Democratic Party are our best shot to a genuine opposition to fascism going forward. I do hope elections can be a meaningful path for this opposition, but from what I've learned about fascism/imperialism/colonialism and resistance movements that have successfully overthrown them; armed struggle, while a last resort, can never be ruled out
