The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

This year I learned that Israelis are inhumane genocidal monsters and should be treated as such.
The settlers, yes. Generic Israelis, no. The settlers have all but shed their "innocent civilian" status. But there are legitimately a lot of innocent civilians still that are not the enemy.
The IDF and settlers are absolutely genocidal monsters that should be treated as terrorists and dealt with accordingly though, I totally agree.
Generic Israelis are largely in full support of this. The settler terror has been going on for decades. It was continued by every Israeli government. It doesn't matter if Likud and other fascists, or centre or centre-left. Every Israeli government in the past 30 years was voted to continue this.
The Israeli people as a whole bear full responsibility for this. As is always pointed out, Israel is "the only democracy in the Middle East". If that is true, then the majority of voting aged Israeli citizens is fully responsible for the settler terrorism.
Only those that speak out against it showed that they do not want to be complicit in this. And these are the Israeli people belittled, systematically silenced and accused of being "antisemitic" in western countries. They deserve our full support and highest respect.
Okay, now bring up stats for what percentage of Israelis support zionism.
Let’s see how many good apples are speaking out against the bad ones
not all israeli?
Not all of them, but the IDF and government are abominable.
Generalisations are dangerous.
So is genocide.
No one is arguing otherwise but enjoy pummeling that strawman
the genocide of calling a genocide, a genocide?
What the actual fuck?
oh, ya just got an editorial note that I'm not to use the words "genocide" "ethnic cleansing" and "occupied territory" in relation to a certain state in the Middle East
I hope you've enjoyed talking to yourself
wooosh
No
dosn't change the wooosh
Generalizations are what leads to genocide.
