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.

Bethan McKernan in Jerusalem and Malak A Tantesh in Gaza

"No food or medical supplies have entered Gaza for nine weeks, and Israeli forces have now seized about 70% of the territory as military buffer or civilian no-go zones, pushing 2.3 million people and aid operations into ever-smaller areas – which are no longer designated as “humanitarian zones”."

They are compared to the nazis often, but it's like Israeli regime are using the nazis as a benchmark for how to be even more disgustingly inhumane

Should also compare them to canaanites or Philistines. You know, non-God fearing.

They're just implementing their Final Solution to the Palestinian Question.

The only small good you can potentially take from it is at least they want the land.

Otherwise it'd probably be Ypres 2.0

edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_rouge

Areas where 99% of all plants still die remain off limits. For example, there are two small areas of land close to Ypres and the Woëvre where arsenic constitutes up to 176 grams per kilogram (18%) in the soil.

I can't see how anybody in the west can justify this. Yes, they had a right to defend themselves but they've gone way, way to far.

They had the right to defend themselves into another sovereign territory? After allowing (while knowing) an attack by a terrorist group to happen on their soil without any proper response? And of course our 21st century mind is too short sighted for the bigger picture of why the terrorist guerilla group even exists??

Just stop this mental gymnastics. We spent some time now learning history, what leaders should have already known. There is nothing forgivable in this war. It's just a continuation and finalization of their lebensraum plan from the 40s, full on genocidal Columbian colonialism perpetrated by Zionists.

It's a massive terrorist attack, I don't have an issue with them going after terrorist cells that perpetrated it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Like the nazis did to the terrorists of the Warsaw ghetto.

I had this argument with an Israeli yesterday. I had to break it with him that I supported Israel responding post Oct 7, but it took about two weeks for me to change my mind, I feared and knew it was turning into this. Got called an antisemite. I’m just more of a Yitzhak Rabin than a Bibi.
