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.

Isn’t this the same strategy being used now by “deputizing” ICE agents who are unmarked

Remind me again why Israel is generally considered "the good guys" by the western world? One of the most obscene displays of gaslighting.

It's because they're a crusader state intended to keep their neighbors' attention.

they did that, so netanyahu can stay in power longer, and justify more aid request from the US. i pointed this out in r/worldnews at the beginning of the war and subsequently banned temporarily from that site, '23.

If that's true, they're shooting themselves in the foot. Maybe literally. The organisation of Gazan society is so low it's pretty much irrelevant vs. Israel.

Israel is an evil depraved cancer on this Earth.

Arming The Moderate Rebels was, incidentally, how Hamas formed in opposition to the Palestinian Authority two decades ago. Then they became the excuse Israel needed to do genocide at the border.

Cannot be overemphasized that the average age of Palestinians is eighteen. These are children being bombed, caged tortured, displaced, starved, and then armed to turn against one another.

In another ten years, we're going to get another whole fascist line about how Palestinians are feral soulless savages. Textbooks will be written to teach future Israelis how Arabs lack humanity, with the remnants of Palestinian society used as the proof.
