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.

"#Israel is staging a massive offensive across four major refugee camps in the north of the #WestBank. The raids, at their height, pushed 40,000 people from their homes. Many are now sheltering with relatives in neighboring villages, others racking up debt renting apartments while they wait to return.

#Israeli officials, meanwhile, have said those displaced will not be allowed to go back for at least a year."

And Trump continues the same game, but worse. So if the intention was to make the world worse in the future, with no hope for reform, then the ML was successful.

But ML is very much in favor of authoritarianism, with tanks. So… I guess this is supposed to the the worse before the better? The better that has and will never come.

Sounds like fake communism to me.

When people are left with a choice between a) genocide or b) genocide, then the "lesser evil" argument stops making any sense.

How this has anything to do with communism or fake communism is still a mystery to me.

The lesser evil makes sense when the greater evil is significantly more evil, and will cause far more damage worldwide. Zero people are perfect.

Many countries sell weapons to Israel. And because no one seems to be calling them out just makes it obvious that this has nothing to do with the Palestinians, and everything to do with wanting to crush the United States.

So, you can try to hide behind genocide, but it’s laughably clear none of you actually give a shit. Genocide is happening all over the world. Where are you to call that out? Oh, it doesn’t have anything to do with the US? I guess that kind of genocide is okay then.

Hypocrisy.

I don’t see you complaining about all the other world leaders committing or contributing to genocide.
