Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

MODERATORS
TLDR - you'd prefer Palestinians to accept their extermination quietly so that liberals like you can pretend your precious evil empire isn't an evil empire.
Oh, really? And who is going to "bully" the genocidal white supremacist settler-colonialist state like this? The largest and most successful white supremacist settler-colonialist state of them all?
You find that fantasy quite convenient, don't you?
Of course you can't - you love the oppressor and hate the oppressed... just like ole' Malcom X said.
Let us rewind back to times before this attack.
What's your solution is? Is it realistic?
Don't need a time machine, Clyde - the solution is still the same. Dismantle the white supremacist settler-colonialist state that is the cause of the conflict.
Do tell... were you also around in the 80s to tell people how dismantling the Apartheid-state in South Africa was "unrealistic?"
I wasn't. But would you do with all these people living there for the last fifty years? It's easier to imagine that in crimean case where it was only a decade at most, you can claim all property-related papers illigitimate since they were approved by an illigitimate government, and here it goes... But in Israel itso happens this administration lasted for two, three generations, and wasn't questioned since that. How to go about that? Would you, like, revoke the citizenship of that country from those born there? Would you revoke their property rights to homes they lived in for 20+ years? And are regular people there responible for their country being an apartheid state?
How exactly you see it happening?
Guess you'd think I'm a stupid israeli apologist, okay. So to conserve my and your time, can you write your solution to that problem short, like in five bullet points? What would you do if you have ultimate power over this plot of land?
That's not up to me, is it? That's for Palestinians and ex-Israelis to decide.
What would be the point of revoking the citizenship of a state that doesn't exist any more?
I'm assuming you're not talking about people like this?
What did you think we mean when we say Israel is a white supremacist settler colonialist state?
You're asking the wrong questions, Clyde. A better question would be... would all the Palestinian villages that the Israelis destroyed and tried to erase from history be rebuilt?
Yes. To what degree such responsibility extends can be determined on a case by case basis, but the short answer is... yes. For instance, the shareholders in Israeli corporations are vastly, vastly more responsible than simply somebody who was coerced into doing two years of military service in the IDF - and that extends to people outside of Israel, too.
