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.

Yeah remember how when Hitler first shoved all the jews into concentration camps

Then he let them suffer and die in those camps for a while

Then he made dedicated death camps to kill them all

So I guess we should wait until the death toll reaches at least 25% before we start to do anything just like how the allies definitely waited for Hitler to make death camps before fighting with his army.

Then explain why excessive civilian casualties are acceptable lmao

Because that's Hamas's strategy, to put people in harms way and then prey on your sympathy. It's called lawfare.

It's called Israeli propaganda that has no independent verification and is used by Israel to justify intentionally targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Can see it and verify it for yourself if you're not blinded by your wildly out of control emotional reactions to everything you see.

You got me, empathy makes me anti-Genocide. Funny that you don't see human rights organizations and independent news outlets as credible despite their reports being verifiable. Meanwhile, you promote IDF rhetoric used to justify ethnic cleansing, despite their verifiable track record of falsified information. You've made Islamophobic comments, which come from fear and hate; emotions IDF propaganda exploits.

Lawfare is a word Israel likes to use when Palestinians appeal to international law.

When we do it, it's lawfare. When Israel genocides Gaza, it's just defending itself. And hell has frozen over btw
