Because when this shit ends, Netanyahu is probably going to jail. Or at the very least, being ousted as a disgrace to humanity. So of course he's going to prolong the genocide. it's the only way he can hold power.

why anyone in the US thinks they can trust him to negotiate in good faith when he's been dicking them around the entire time is beyond me.

We cannot use one atrocity to justify another atrocity. (or several atrocities, as the case may be.). because otherwise the bloodshed never ends. Netanyahu and others might be okay with that... but that's because they're genocidal maniacs and assholes.

The US has had no problem getting rid of certain politicians in other countries before. While I don't generally condone the action, I can comfortably say I'd look the other way if he fell down the stairs. No atrocity, that.

I know it won't happen, but I can dream.

Because Trump violated the Logan Act and called Bibi to sabotage the ceasefire. Republicans being scumbags per usual.

Shame those CodePink protestors are silent on the genocide being faced by the Uyghurs. Shills have no place in society.

Neither do whataboutisms.

How many thousands of Uyghur children were blown up by US-supplied weaponry this year?

I probably own a product crafted by someone whose immediate family member had their organs harvested.

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. 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. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

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 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
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.
