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 settlers in the occupied West Bank have beaten to death a United States citizen in his early 20s, the victim’s family members and rights groups have said.

“We are aware of reports of the death of a US citizen in the West Bank,” Reuters reported a State Department spokesperson as saying. The official declined to comment further “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones” of the reported victim.

"the beatings will continue, until PR for israel improves"- israel.

That’s it? “We’re aware”? We do a prisoner swap with Russia and release a notorious arms smuggler, just to get back a weed smuggling basketball player. But when our “good buddy” Israel literally murders one of our citizens, we’re just “aware”?

MAGA doesn’t care, he’s not White.

Rachel Corrie says they still wouldn't care

Even if he were a white person, they still wouldn't do anything about it.

Both Democrats and Republicans fully support the genocide.

Anyone up for starting a petition for an A-List celebrity to stand in Gaza breadlines? Netanyahu might not be eager to kill them at least not right away so maybe a handful of kids could be saved

(superwhite American, US-born to US-born parents, to marginally increase MAGA difficulty in aftermath interviews)

"Settlers"

Lebensraum enjoyers

Lebensraum

Wasn't aware of this expression before, thank you for the new burn. "Casual enjoyer of other people's territory, as though it had simply been their own backyard the whole time, left waiting for their return."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It's not a "burn" - it was the casus belli given for Nazi territorial expansion.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

Its use as an insult to mock those to whom it applies, is what makes it a burn. I'm already well aware of what it is, but had never seen or heard anyone apply a specific name to it. It's mine now, and I'm going to use it to insult land thieves wherever and whomever they are.
