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.

Summary

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich endorsed President-elect Donald Trump’s victory, stating it’s “time” to extend full Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

This comes as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu highlighted his alignment with Trump on the “Iranian threat.”

Tensions in Gaza and Lebanon have escalated following recent Israeli airstrikes, with regional leaders gathering in Riyadh to address Israeli actions.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to meet President Biden, though Biden’s influence on Israel may be limited following Trump’s win.

So now not only do we have to vote, we also have to guess which one is the correct one with no communication.

And you say there's not a transitive power here but you keep describing a transitive power. Oh and you've called for violence against people who just want to be left alone.

You're really racking up the motivations for voting.

If you have to guess which one is the bad one...

And you say there's not a transitive power here but you keep describing a transitive power. Oh and you've called for violence against people who just want to be left alone.

No, I'm calling for violence against Nazis. Violence against actual Nazis is always acceptable.

I shouldn't have to motivate you to vote, nobody should. If you're not motivated to vote, then you accept the ramifications of your actions.

We'll come back in six months to see how you're feeling about it all. I'm feeling that you're probably gonna have a great time though.

How are we supposed to know? You said all messaging was propaganda. So we have two names on a page. That's it. And yes, people not voting are just trying to be left alone.

You're advocating for violence against people who just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids.

unfortunately as an adult you don't get that luxury. if you want to be left alone, move to Uzbekistan and live in the mountains.

You're advocating for violence against people who just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids.

I'm advocating for violence against Nazis.

if they didn't vote, who will know unless they tell. and if they tell, then they clearly want to incite, because by your definition, they "just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids". I don't think anyone who wants that would even care enough to mention they didn't vote, and in a few years they'll be too ashamed to bring it up anyway.

Oh so now we're on don't ask don't tell?

You're just hitting all the highlights aren't you?

And no. You don't get to tell people they have to leave their home. In your rush to fight a Nazi you're starting to really sound like one.
