Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

Israel vs Arab states conflict won't stop post oil economy.
No, but we'll stop propping up both sides and it will be able to reach some sort of natural conclusion.
We're not going to stop propping up Israel. It's religious for American Christians, not economic.
This. There is a whole lot of dumb wrapped up in American policy related to Israel, and much of it is due to gomers that actually believe in their sick fantasies from their little book club.
I think this has always been a facile theory not backed up by any actual polling data.
Theory? Many of them will tell you their thoughts on why Israel has to be occupied by Jews. White evangelicals are all in for donvict like almost no other demo. A great deal of evangelicals believe that the character of Yeshua from their book club is going to come back in their lifetime.

an article from "msnbc-opinion" huh. Editorials are the new factual reporting I guess.
Oh come on now it’s a great book. I keep it in the bathroom next to my playboys
I read the Bible for the articles
Now, now, we know you read the Song of Solomon.
Sure we will. Around the same time as winged monkeys fly out of my ass.
Trump will give Israel anything they want.
