Rules:

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.

It's interesting that they call the Israeli government psychos and not those hiding behind civilians in a residential neighborhood... especially given that the letter behavior is specifically done to be able to make accusations of the former.

One does not necessarily exclude the other. Just because they called one group psychos does not mean they don't feel the same for the other group.

Well it does mention the Hezbollah hiding among civilians without any notation there, so it kinda reads like "how dare these crazies fire at the terrorists hiding behind civilian shields" (without noting the terrorist part and kinda brushing over the civilian shields).

Both sides are pretty despicable in this conflict

Yeah, because just mentioning someone using civilians as a shield is on its own bad enough. Anyone with half a brain cell would understand that's bad without the need for specifically pointing it out.
