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!

If Hamas surrenders the war ends. It has nothing to do with anyone's genes. It has to do with Hamas packing kids into tiny rooms above tunnel shafts and then refusing to let them evacuate, or worse, convincing them that it's good to be a Martyr.™
You're so right and smart. On that note it's weird that nobody wants the US to bomb their own schools when an active shooter is holding up there.
Level the whole school. That will prevent future shooters.
Don't give our extremely militarized police ideas.
They kinda already do that. Remember when police destroyed a house that a shoplifter ran to, and made the innocent family pay for it?
Then why do Palestinians get attacked in the West Bank?
West Bank has Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, and IJ as well. They launch terror attacks from the West Bank. Take your pick of pan Islamists far right radicals who literally want to genocide every non Muslim in the middle east and "restore Islam to its rightful place in the world."
They get attacked because they choose international terrorism instead of literally anything else.
Sure it does. But the biggest terrorists are those disgusting genocidal Zionists, stealing homes and lives like a bunch of fuckin savages. Fuck them and fuck you, you genocide supporter.
Just this morning Israel is apparently surrounding a hospital with all the patients inside... in Jenin. Totally "acceptable" of the "oNlY dEmOcRaCy iN tHe MidDle EasT".
It's like, "oh yeah we love killing Palestinians but those are the orders we get from our democratically elect government 😉 if you forget all the Palestinians with absolutely no rights"
Oh don't be so childish. Hamas is a vaguely defined terrorist organisation.
There is no scenario in which Israel goes "all right Hamas decided to surrender, we got these known leaders here, so we're sure there's no more Hamas anywhere and we will now leave the Palestinians alone, as this was definitely never a flimsy excuse for a genocide to make lebensraum for Israeli settlers".
Whatever Hamas does, Israel will keep up the killing and fighting and landgrabbing. You'd have to be extremely naive to think otherwise.
Hamas sold out the foreseeable future of Gaza. As soon as they did October 6, they sent an engraved invitation to Israel inviting over for a seige war followed years of martial law.
Gaza needs to be rebuilt after this. Who is going to do it? Gaza can't do it. They made sure that every penny of public wealth has gone towards making sure children are malnourished but rocket launchers are deployed and loaded up. Gaza literally doesn't ave the excavators and dump trucks that they need just to clear the streets, let alone build new public works, because they spent every penny anyone had indiscriminately shooting rockets at Israeli neighborhoods and digging tunnels which they use to hold every Gazan hostage.
Did you reply to the right comment?
I don't see how any of that has anything to do with my comment.
You're saying Israel is the "bigger person" for basically shooting through human shields?
The war ends and it goes back to apartheid, of religion and homeland, no genes required. And what evidence is there of what you're claiming?
DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE AT ALL TO BACK UP THE CLAIM OF HAMAS "PACKING" KIDS INTO SMALL ROOMS ABOVE TUNNELS?
because it's yet another example of an extremely dumb claim resting on an extremely unlikely piece of informatio
But if course you will ignore this request because you can easily just ignore anything from me 😁😊😊
