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.

Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. The full effects of that are not immediately clear, but the territory’s desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water.

Sunday’s announcement comes a week after Israel cut off all supplies of goods to the territory to over 2 million people. It has sought to press Hamas to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire. That phase ended last weekend. Israel wants Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages in return for a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.

Hamas has pressed to start negotiations on the ceasefire’s more difficult second phase instead, which would see the release of remaining hostages from Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and a lasting peace. Hamas is believed to have 24 living hostages and the bodies of 35 others.

I'm surprised that they didn't do this first.

So after Israel kills the last Palestinian- who’s next on their list?

it’s not like they’ll face any consequences for this genocide, so why not kick off another?!

Aside from—of course—Arabs, other Israeli Jews. The break between Orthodox Jews and liberal Jews is a whole thing; Israel's (inevitable if you think about it) fall into fascism is progressing fast.

They're already killing civilians in Lebanon and Syria, so I'm pretty sure they've already identified their next steps.

You haven't heard of greater Israel? They plan on expanding and expanding (even if the plan fundamentally is screwed now that people see through Israel)

Plenty of other Arab countries to choose from. Stay tuned!
