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.

You realize Hamas is not a religion, right?

Which is why my comment clearly differentiates between the Jewish religion and the Israeli government.

Funny, people sure seem to act like it is.

The Star of David is fine, I’ve got concerns about the Israeli flag. Those bars do a lot of painful lifting there.

Though also I’m actually wondering why a cop is allowed to display their religious symbols on their uniforms. I’d be super uncomfortable to see a cop with a cross or a mjolnir so maybe they shouldn’t have a Star of David or a crescent or even a pentacle. Maybe they shouldn’t be thought of as religious but just civil servants until they take their uniform off

Law enforcement uniforms in a secular nation should not bear religious symbols.

Ha! I wish.
