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.

At least 57 Palestinians have starved to death in Gaza as Israel’s punishing blockade of food, water, and other critical aid to the besieged enclave stretches into its third month amid relentless bombardment.

Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Saturday that most of the victims were children, as well as the sick and elderly, condemning the “continued use of food by the Israeli occupation as a weapon of war” and urging the international community to exert pressure on Israel to reopen the borders and allow in aid.

Notice how this gets so much less attention that it did during the campaign even though its only gotten worse. Just remember: many of the people who claim to care, don't. And if you actually want to stop this, it needs to start with putting people in power who actually care about stopping it. If there isn't one in the general, that means this didn't happen during the primaries.

Don't worry, when the American mid-term elections start next year Palestine will be relevant again.

Republican's will be gleefully listing off the next minorities they are sending to Freedom Camp in El Salvador. While Democrats are bombarded with endless purity tests and FUD so the Republican candidates can win.

An easy solution would be for the Democrats to condemn the GENOCIDE (its a bit more then a purity test) and break ties with Israel.

They lost because they put the interests of a foreign nation above their own constituents, I hope they have better sense then to do it a second time.

The Republicans won because some voters put the interests of a foreign nation above their own country and now the genocide is coming home.

Albert Einstein's letter to the NY Times was 100% correct. In addition, WW II history of the ghettos continues in the Middle East.
