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!

Except for the fact Iraq wasn't calling for the death of all Americans as part of their charter. It's nothing alike, this is more like if Mexico started attacking America every single day and said it wouldn't stop until every American was dead.
The leadership of Hamas has said clearly that Israel is the start, they intend to take Jordan next. They've already tried and failed in Jordan.
Israel has offered something like a dozen internationally backed peace agreements. Each one has been rejected by the Palestinians who refused to acknowledge Israel as a country. What do you mean they've long made it clear? They've made offers over the past twenty years.... they left Gaza entirely in that time. They're not trying now, but they've certainly tried plenty over the years.
Considering Israel has returned land that it's acquired in conflicts, they've shown they're not interested in crossing into Jordan, Egypt and the like. I don't think I've ever seen an argument they're trying to be expansionist beyond the west bank or what their hard right would consider their biblical borders, that's a weird one. Their push to the river is clearly a defensive maneuver to rid itself of a threat that can strike its capital. Peace would eliminate that argument and most Israelis are in favor of leaving the wb and the strip entirely.
People downvoting.... Where is the lie?
No lie, just Jew hate. People refuse to accept that the propaganda they've swallowed isn't backed by the historical record.
Mother fuckers out there claiming Jesus was a Palestinians Arab FFS. Dude died before Islam was even a thing. It's wild watching the disinformation flying around these days.
