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!

the babies on respirators in gaza hospitals are.
Hamas is hiding in their premature baby bodies
correct. when two groups wage war it's the people who suffer
Seems to me you only care about this conflict because it fits your worldview, as you clearly don't care about a communist regime activity committing genocide on the Uighurs.
If Israel was a communist country you'd be running over Palestinians with tank right now.
🤔
Point stands if you selectively support dying babies.
Wasn't that Hamas who did the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing? Though it's debatable.

Even if it was a misfired Palestinian rocket, which still isn't proven btw, it doesn't outweigh the 30+ hospitals that Israel has bombed to this day, or for that matter the fucking refugee camp they bombed last week.
I mean it does though because of the claim of 500 dead bodies that magically appeared and then (not a joke) dissolved like salt into water once it was clear it was IJ at fault and not the IDF.
Israel has largely been pinpoint with its strikes and when you compare it's released maps of Gaza's tunnel networks from the last war with the BBC's map of its airstrikes it's very clear what they're doing.
I was confused by this initially too (I read the headline and imagined a tent city for people fleeing this current war, but then the photo was of a city block with like 5 story buildings) but it's only called a "refugee camp" because it was originally a site where refugees gathered after the 1948 war, in the modern day it's more or less an urban neighborhood of Gaza with a population (at one point) of 100,000 just like any other part of the city
I think hospital bombings on both sides must always be taken with a grain of salt... because if you are in a war and are highly unethical; where is the best place to operate a military base from, if you want to protect it from bombings?
Holy overreaction batman! PSA: don't be a dick.
