Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

Explain yourself.
I should add that I’ve read the article, and the line you’re pushing is utter bullshit.
If you want to commit another Holocaust by killing 9 million people, 7 million of which are Jews, that's being a Nazi. That's the main thing Nazis are known for, killing millions of people.
And Hamas explicitly wants kill everyone in Israel. They're Nazis.
Although, I guess technically speaking they're not Nazis themselves, they're just Nazi supporters. Which might as well be the same thing in my opinion.
Huh, funny. Becuase 2 million Palestinians live in the Gaza strip, 50,000 already dead by the Isreali offensive and Isreal's government wants to completely wipe them all out or, at minimum, ethnically cleanse the area. So what does that make the Isreali government then?
Hamas are violent terrorists whose goals are evil. They should not be tolerated. But even by Isreal's estimates, btw, Hamas has around 16-18,000 soldiers now, and had between 20-30,000 before the offensive started in 2023. So, AT MINIMUM 36,000 civilians or those unassociated with Hamas have been killed. They're not killing Hamas. They're killing everything in their way. That's murder, not defense. That's genocide, not war.
How many are dead in Israel?
How many would be dead in Israel if not for the Iron Dome?
How many of those dead in Palestine are dead by the hands of Hamas?
How many people have Hamas recruited since the Oct 7th massacre?
It's amazing how you only care about civilians in Gaza, not Israel. Your dog whistle is so incredibly obvious, it's ridiculous
The fact is, BOTH sides are fully committed to nothing less than the total annihilation of the other side. They both support genocide, its just that Israel has more weapons and richer friends, so they are winning.
In reality, neither POLITICAL side deserves respect. Unfortunately, it is the innocents on both sides that feel the consequences the most.
Where does that put someone like me, who is pro-People, but anti-Both Political Sides?
Sane. You're sane.
Do you accept a position that states Hamas commits evil and Israel commits evil? Both must stop atrocities?
I have yet to see any pro-Hamas supporters, but maybe I don’t get around enough. In your view, is it possible to be pro-Palestine and anti-Hamas?
You can be against that and against Israel's genocide of Palestinians.
How dare those people resist decades of violent occupation, displacement, apartheid, and genocide.
You’re the type of person that would call Anne Frank a terrorist if she’d lived long enough to resist the Nazis.
Did we find Ethan kleins lemmy account (kaboom) ? 😂😂
