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.

Why is everyone antisemitic towards us. All we want to do is kill innocent people. Come on guys, dont be be like that.

“Listen - If you’d simply allow us to conflate civilians with terrorists I think you’ll see we’re right. They’re not so innocent after all…”

“All these sneaky, unarmed, women and children, Hamas agents, with the strategic beachfront property, are forcing us to protect ourselves.”

You have to be extra careful with the press, humanitarians, and people holding white flags. They are the most dangerous.

"Terrorists" itself is a bit of a sneaky choice of words, because it's very vague but sounds very bad.

If they had to talk about deterrence, proportionality and the actual demands and interests of the various factions involved it wouldn't sound so good for them anymore. Instead, it's them vs. "terrorists", being against them is being for "terrorists", and any attempt to argue with that is doomed to scuttle in the semantic molasses of WTF it even means.

You can still not like Hamas for being brutal theocrats that don't care about human rights.

Judeo-Nazi Israel with an emphasis on Nazi. I wonder why too...

Alternate headline ...

Netanyahu and his far-right wing supporters whine again about so-called "anti-semitism"

They seek Palestinian annihilation. Two state solution? If they ever cared about that it was only superficial.

I've thought for some time, darkly. The end of this is:

  • Glass
  • Only one group with a historical claim to the land survives

I think they're trying to not so subtly get the second one. And that's genocide.

According to Norwegian news the ambassador compared it to calling the Earth flat.

*And the Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the disputed area of ​​the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on Wednesday and called this a response to European countries' recognition of Palestine.

  • We will not even allow a statement about a Palestinian state, said Ben-Gvir.

I think you're a little late there, dude.

Israeli gov PsyOps is about as subtle as Russia — as subtle as a punch in the face.

Not a shock knowing Israel.

Oh Nos! Anyway....

You see this, Spain PM? This is something of a reason to recall ambassadors.
