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!

Joe doesn't like all the support he's losing from Arab Americans, many of whom are evidently willing to assist the greater evil get elected instead, because Palestine.
Says the guy who spends all day shilling for an apartied state commiting multiple war crimes everyday.
Excuse me for having different opinions than your angry mob.
By which I guess you mean Amnesty International , Human Rights Watch, and the vast majority of international human rights non profits, the EU, and the vast majority of UN member state? Yeah buddy, it's just an internet mob condemning apartied Israel's daily war crimes.
But you do you. Spend your day defending crimes against humanity. I'm sure history will look back on people like you fondly and you won't have any regrets.
So you're here to criticize me for debating this stuff online too much... by baiting me into debating it more online. K.
Apartheid: 20% of Israeli citizens are Arab with full rights and aren't kept legally separated, (what apartheid literally means.) Weird apartheid. Maybe Israel's behaviors are in fact motivated by safety and not ethnic or religious discrimination, and they just happen to be under attack by a homogeneous group.
Crimes against humanity: plenty of those to go around in this conflict, I don't see collateral damage when attacking valid military targets as a crime against humanity, I don't believe it is illegal under international law, nor do I see not supplying an actively belligerent enemy with resources to be a crime against humanity, I find it absurd when others suggest that Israel should have to provide supply lines for its aggressor, I can't speak for others.
Are you just gonna follow me around and repeat the concern troll buzzwords: It's genocide! It's apartheid! It's crimes against humanity! You ought to be ashamed! Think of the children! Or, do you want to get into the merits of these accusations? Even better, suggest a better viable option than Israel's response that doesn't cost them dearly in Israeli lives, because I still haven't heard one.
Maybe educate yourself on apartheid. It does not mean keeping groups separated, it means governmental action to systematically privilege a group of people. Human Rights Watch declared Israel an apartheid state in 2021 and issues a detailed report.
As for crimes against humanity, your defense is just "but the other side does it too!" and "I think war crimes against Palestinians are fine since they are in the best interest of Israel!" Which is why I don't think your a serious person, and I've already spent too much time engaging with you.
Please, resume your shilling for one of histories monsters.
dropping support for biden because of this seems silly since biden is four years but the two supreme court justices that will almost certainly be picked in the next four years are forever.
