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.

Israel wants to destroy the Palestinian people, steal their land, destroy their homes, and build Jewish settlements there.

They have been doing this for morethan 70 years.

“The soldiers stood watching, and after the settler attack ended, the soldiers began to search houses across the village, raiding several houses and taking shifts throughout the night and then left at 3:00 in the morning", they added”

What did their prime minster say - The most moral military in the world.

Yeah right… and the World “leaders” are just standing there staring at the shit that’s been happening.

Last Ramadan they literally went around blowing up cars. The one before, I believe they were putting concrete mix into the well water (they actually did this but I can't remember if this was an Israeli Ramadan tradition).

Religion has nothing to do with this. Its lebensraum and racism

Zionists are as Jewish as the Nazis were Christian.

This isn't religious. A bunch of trolls/liars came from Russia and Germany and said their ancestors left this land in the BC era.

Edit: These people also claim that the Palestinians are land Interlopers who came from some undisclosed part of Arabia.

Religious nationalism is even worse.

I originally typed 'Arguably the worst thing we've done' but the more I think on it, humans are generally terrible.

If it wasn't religion, it'd be racism, sexisim, geography based hate, abilisim, left handedness, phrenology, etc etc etc. Religion is just another lubricant to placate docile individuals, and justify the actions of hate focused individuals

I'm certain we could all live together in peace, but we're so tribalistic that the second anyone says their group is better than X because Y the majority of the population seems to lap it up at nearly any expense.

If there wasn't a religion in play, people would just come up with different pretext.

Some religions are worse than others. This particular religions sees everyone else as Goy: something akin to slaves or animals.
