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.

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.

How many children from the west bank are being held hostage by Israel without trial or evidence?
They've accepted ceasefire deals multiple times that Bibi personally torpedoes cause he doesn't want to go to jail.
Only if you believe Israel and not people like The Lancet medical journal (and no, it isn't affiliated with Hamas, even though Hamas's numbers have proven more accurate than Israel's over the years)
Only if you don't believe your lying eyes. Or do you believe it's all pallywood?
Or we can see the bombed hospitals, schools, and literally every single IDF declared safe zone.
Come on, just say pallywood. You know you want to. It'll be a relief.
This is literally the sticking point. Bibi won't agree to a permanent cease fire, even for all of the hostages. You're explicitly lying here.
Just continuing to ignore the facts and regurgitating the things you've heard.
Hamas has said many times things like "they look positively on the ceasefire agreement" but hasn't actually accepted anything. They do these things because they know when you see the propaganda most people won't verify anything, and if they do you'll only do a cursory look at mainstream source see "they look postively" on a ceasefire and assume that it means they accepted it and go back to your narrative feeling like you've verified it to be true.
Yeah it's the numbers from the Gaza Health Authority I'm looking at. They flatten out. not consistent with a genocide.
Also those numbers aren't accurate. Even the UN has reported double counting of the numbers by the Gaza Health authority. There's a war happening it's impossible to count accurately. Also note that there is no breakdown between civilian casualties and Hamas casualties. It's simply an estimate of the total number of casualties in Gaza, both civilian and Hamas. We don't know if 30% are Hamas, 50% are Hamas, 10% are Hamas or whatever.
So there's a lack of reliable information here. But given we see casualties only when there's active combat operations, and it flattens out when there aren't firefights happening between the IDF and Hamas... the little data we have is consistent with a war in an urban environment where the military is putting emphasis on minimizing their own casualties.
Also note there would also be a number of casualties attributed to Hamas. Friendly fire is a thing in a warzone, Hamas bullets and rockets don't simply bounce off civilians. When Hamas sparys bullets and fires rockets in the general direction of the IDF, Palestinian civilians die from that too. Remember the whole genocide narrative started when there was an explosion at a hospital and the cause wound up being a Hamas rocket that went off course. But maybe that's a fact that you reject to maintain the narrative you like.
Most of your post is the same old "I reject the facts because Israel bad" which only proves my point. Do you even accept the fact that Hamas is holding Israelis hostage?
Is this just propaganda?

This is the intentional destruction of a key water supply that supplies water to 1 million people.
This is an action that is part of the genocidal process.
Before you claim Pallywood, or that I'm being lied to, or any of your other stupid and lazy justifications for genocide, this is a video proudly taken by an IDF soldier who is happy to take this genocidal action.
EDIT:
Also wanted to pick your brain and find out if you back the soldiers mutiny at Sde Teiman in defense of their right to rape the male prisoners? This is being reported by Haaretz here: https://archive.ph/oeQMG#selection-531.29-531.39
Or let me guess, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz is secretly Hamas propaganda, right?
Funny how both of you like to counter claims but neither has provided actual sources. I call bullshit on both parties unless actual proof is linked.
Motion for declaration of bullshit has been called, and hereby seconded.
General voting on level of bullshit by both parties is now open.
