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 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.

Fuck the USA, and every country too chicken shit to oppose a criminally corrupt sociopath committing war crimes to delay his own imminent corruption trial and imprisonment.
Fuck the USA government, you mean. I only live here, and all I get to do is choose between the lesser of two evils every 4 years. What a nightmare.
If you think you only get a choice once every four years, that's part of the problem. There's elections every single year, many of which you have more choice and more power over.
Maybe if people showed up to vote more than once every four years we'd actually see some effective change.
The US election system is set up for the rich and powerful to stay in charge. It's ridiculous that there's effectively only two parties, and it's ridiculous that a single person, the president, holds so much power. No accountability. Their system needs an entire overhaul, IMO:
Compulsory voting Ease of access for voting Preferential voting Lower bar for running, meaning every citizen has the opportunity to run
The president sure gets the credit for a lot of things (the president signed this into law, the president enacted this policy) but in reality Congress makes most of that a reality.
There is also accountability... but only if the congress acts on it. Which is where that whole "vote more than once every four years" thing comes in. Congress has power... we just have not elected people who use that power responsibly.

Well yeah, obviously. If you blamed the entire population for its governments actions then every human alive is guilty.
Fuck the US government, and everyone who supports their crimes.
All candidates steer clear away from condemning Israel because they know they’ll lose votes if they do. Sounds like this one is on the people.

Looking at the protests against him in Israel I think many if not most Israelis don't want this campaign of violence. For many years I've felt sorry for all the civilians in that area, because they are trying to live their lives and extremist assholes on all sides keep killing them.
Settlers can go fuck themselves though.
Absolutely. They are extremist assholes.
including scores of women and children
This always assumes that there are no civilian men. I get that men are the ones usually conscripted, but... that's always seemed weird to me.
It makes for a more defensible argument. No sane person is going to argue that a 4 year old child is an enemy combatant. But a 20 year old male? It's easy to argue they could have been an enemy combatant and so maybe the numbers are inflated. Saying 1000 people can be interpreted as 999 enemies and only 1 civilian casualty. Saying 1000 women and children is usually interpreted as 1000 innocent lives lost.
Yeah, that's true, but super fucked that women get the innocence of children and men are assumed to be not innocent in any situation.
Life is harsh when you're a guy.
Given the Israeli position on military rape, it's just a different flavor of attrocity.
They rape men too.
And they kill women.
But a 20 year old male? It’s easy to argue they could have been an enemy combatan
The age old problem of "excess males" solved by declaring open season on anyone with facial hair.
In Gaza casualty numbers any adult man is assumed to be a combatant by Isreal.
And a child is assumed to be a future combatant.
And woman a combatant factory?
They’ll probably start calling grains of sand terrorists.
Anyone past puberty actually.
Call to emotion, nothing else. Women and children "sounds" worse than "people" dying.
I mean, a score is 20. I think that means they've killed two thousand scores of people. "Scores of women and children" doesn't really do that justice.
If he is still able to speak and be heard, then they arent loud enough. Every single person in that room needs to be screaming to demand his immediate arrest.
Good point, them leaving says I don’t want to be involved not that I want to stop the injustice.
It's the only way they can express their revulsion at Israel, and the US who constantly block anything else they might try

This might matter in ten years if Netanyahu hangs.
That sack of shit should have been arrested.
why isn't he arrested already? I wish I had similar privileges, where I could break laws (thst don't violate human rights ofc.), make a shitload of money and travel the world freely.
Now if they would actually take action.
Don't worry, they'll pass another strongly worded resolution.
Which the USA will find a way to veto or Israel will continue to ignore it.
