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.

Gaza officials say the death toll from Israeli air strikes on a camp housing displaced Palestinians near Rafah in southern part of the strip has risen to 40.

“The massacre committed by the Israeli occupation army in the refugee tents northwest of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip has left 40 martyrs and 65 wounded,” Mohammad al-Mughayyir, a senior official at the civil defence agency, told AFP news agency.

The attack led to a massive fire, which Palestinian Civil Defence teams managed to extinguish after about 45 minutes.

“The air strikes burnt the tents, the tents are melting and the people’s bodies are also melting,” one of the residents who arrived at the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah was reported as saying by the Reuters news agency.

Doctors without Borders, known by its acronym MSF, said “dozens of wounded” as well as more than 15 of the dead had been brought to a facility that it supports.

"Let us honor the memories of those we lost by fostering a spirit of solidarity and kindness."

They were lost by fostering a spirit of solidarity and kindness? No, they were lost by inaction. They should have run this by an editor because that doesn't say what they think it says.

This is crazy that they keep on going. I guess when they go genociding it has no limits.

What is the proper way to treat people who murder innocent families? What is the appropriate way we should treat those who commit genocide and will continue to commit genocide as long as they are able? Wouldn't engaging them in violence to stop the genocide be morally justified?

Yet, instead of putting Israel in its place, we have chosen to assist them in slaughtering unarmed civilian families who have already been robbed of everything.

Conservatism (including neoliberalism) is purely harmful and should be erased from this planet. There is no such thing as a "good conservative". Violence is warranted in the defense of the innocent and vulnerable.

IDF be like: our intelligence sources tell us that at least some of them may be, have been or would have become rhamas.

Their intelligence sources are basically anything but intelligent.
