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.

"Hamas will not [release hostages] unless they are under pressure," [Netanyahu] told reporters. [...] "we're committed to getting all the hostages back home. We think that this method stands a chance."

He doesn't care about the hostages and I doubt he really thinks this is a good method to rescue them.

All he cares about is his slaughter, his revenge, but two wrongs do not make a right; hurting innocent people in an attempt to get revenge on Hamas is wrong just like Hamas attacking Israeli civilians was wrong. All this is doing, other than killing thousands of people, is making the world remember their hate for Jews and Muslims all over again and making it unsafe for us no matter where we stand on the (overall and current) Israel/Palestine situation.

Jew does not equal Israel. Muslim does not equal Hamas. Calling a war crime a war crime is not antisemitic. Criticizing a government is not antisemitic just because it claims to represent Jews. It doesn't represent me, motherfucker.

Netanyahu is a political animal.

He doesn't care about the hostages, the Palestinians and most of the Israelis. He just barely cares about some of them.

He has one and only one objective here - to win back the 50% votes that he lost because of the terror attack. He's already blaming the army and those who protested against him, saying that this attack was made possible because of them. According to Israeli media he has PR advisors with him when selecting military objectives and targets to help him choose the best option that will win him the more votes back.

If this goes on I think that there's a chance that we'll see a military coup in Israel.
