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.

Israeli officials have signaled they do not intend to relinquish this territory. These areas, where the military has deployed, are considered “no-go zones” and Palestinians risk being shot if they approach.

I'm so fucking tired of this argument

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

It's not even an argument anymore it's a circlejerk.

And you'll keep hearing it for actually assisting the fasist pro-genocide candidate.

Genocide Donald's strongest apologist is here to defend him.

I'm cooked :(

How about you stop doing genocide apologia for one of the two instead.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Israel and Palestine have a right to exist.

And I will keep defending both until I stop getting death threats from your friends.

*edit: Also I see in your mod-log you've been banned multiple times for supporting the Russian genocide in Ukraine.

Bring up more irrelevant lies to pivot topic when getting called out for defending genocide.

Get used to it. I will repeat it until democrats realizes that not voting has consequences.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Maybe you should spend your effort getting the Democrats to realize that running awful candidates like Kamala is why they keep losing. I'd love to be able to side the Democrats, but they keep putting forward bad candidates with terrible platforms.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I would like to see the voters challenge the Democratic candidates with a simple: do you want to win or do you want to support Israel? You only get one.

It would be interesting to see the Democratic candidates faced with this and watch how they respond.

Really though, the party needs to be replaced. It is an abject failure.

They had and made that choice in 2024. They chose netanyahu.

"I couldn't vote against Hitler because the opposition wasn't great"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"we ran slightly less Hitler against Hitler and lost, it's everyone's fault except our own"

I feel like "lets keep bombing children", or "we're going to back a genocide harder than they are", or "we're going to do a better job of putting immigrants in prison" is indeed only slightly better than the Republicans position.

Just admit you don't actually care about Palestinian lives.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's not true that centrists don't care about Palestinian lives. They have very clear preferences on the matter: they prefer them dead.
