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 5: Keep it civil. 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.

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.

No Hamas, no music festival massacre, 51 Palestinian murdered.
I wonder what the Israeli apologist will say.
The sad truth is they don’t have to say anything. This has been going on for decades, it’s nothing new really and everyone is turning a blind eye. If the whole world ignores it, you don’t even have to defend yourself, isn’t that marvellous?
And the same thing applies here as everywhere else when it comes to Israel and Palestine. If you’re not explicitly pro Israel you’re an anti-Semite so your “opinion” doesn’t matter (even when there’s ample proof).
But if you complain about this kind of behavior of the Israeli government and the settlers, you are immediately called "aintisemite". And whatever atrocities have been discussed in the UN security council again and again, the US always protected them with a veto.
Thats simply not right. The settle policy has been highly critized by the EU and the USA. The EU even sanctioned Israel for it.
Yes, this might prompt the harshest reaction in decades: a letter with a stern condemnation. But I wouldn't count on it.
As I said: they sanctioned Israeli companies and individuals.
They are fighting. People are violently attacking the Israeli forces in an uprising. They are trying to set off explosives at the checkpoints in West Bank borders. Israel is trying to prepare for multifront attack against Lebanon, Iran and possibly Jordan.
The way they see it, if they give up, the jews are slaughtered. They arent barging into peoples houses and randomly kidnapping/raping/killing people like Hamas has.
Oh sorry, how many Palestinians have been killed in the West bank by peaceful settlers?
You have to look at the situation as it is. The amount of people dying is attributed to their clashes not because the israelis are going out of their way to slaughter people.
Really? I got a different impression of all the reports of settlers killing unprovoked Palestinians. Mind you, the relatives of the deceased rarely get any justice from the Israelian part for those killings.
The israeli 'settlers' are propping up what are essentially tents for their herd and familes in rural parts of West Bank. Palestinians get angry. They get in eachothers faces. The Israeli forces come into to break it up. The Palestinians get in the militarys faces. They start attacking them and attacking the barracks for the checkpoints with firebombs. They get shot. "My baby would never do that" comes on tv. Pikachu face.
https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-west-bank-settlers-attack-bengvir-netanyahu-f59bad22ce74ca2ea99ebc5ce54e727b there is even a Wikipedia page dedicated on the violence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_settler_violence.
And believe me I can find a lot more articles even from human rights watch groups.
Uhhh... i have no idea what you are trying to prove here. Im not saying people arent getting killed, im saying context matters. What you are essentially showing is a contextless story clickbait for circlejerk purposes.
Ah yes, everything that doesn't align with your point of view is trash, even Wikipedia.
???????????????
Wot
We are talking about 2 different things
I wonder why, why would the oppressed get so angry... 🤔
Tell me lies, tell me sweet li'l lies
