Welcome to the News community!
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.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
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.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

No, that is absolutely not what I meant. Israelis have a right to form a government, and that government is right to protect its citizens (that is not what it's doing right now).
You did make me change the second part from "has a right" to "is right to", which is interesting.
Palestinians should also have a right to form a government. If I say they have a right to protect their citizens, that likely means war and genocide. I'd hope that if the Palestinians form a government and a state, they realize that they lose the war and decide that peace is in their best interests.
Either way, the full on genocide needs to stop. Whether I think the Gazans are murderous, religious zealots or not*, they're still human. They deserve aid. Israel's blocking of aid should have been enough that we pull support. Maybe we did behind the scenes, who knows. We shouldn't be funding Israel (or Northern Virginia, really), as much as we do. I don't think Israel collapses without US munitions, certainly not to Palestine. Defending them from Iran is fine (which is also not what we're doing).
Palestinians don't want peace. Israelis don't want peace. What the fuck are we supposed to do about it? We can try to limit the damage in the short term (and we should), but I don't have long term solutions, and I don't think anyone else does either.
*(I understand they have reason to be. But is wanting to murder an entire people ever justified?)
The previous person already said you should back that statement up. And then you repeat it again.
