Rules:

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.

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.

  • 27.000 Gazans massacred by the IDF

  • An unknown number of Gazans killed by disease, starvation and lack of medical care due to the genocide. Could be many times more than directly killed by the IDF

  • People pleading with the US government to stop supplying weapons and funding to aid in the genocide

  • 8 People murdered by settlers in the West Bank

  • Biden writes an executive order about the 8 murders by settlers while continuing to support the potentially hundreds of thousands of murders in Gaza

  • Neoliberal establishment drones cheer as if he'd personally brokered a ceasefire and brought every murdered Palestinian back to life

Edit: updated the ever rising death toll of the IDF atrocities to current number.

And Ben-Gvir is still the National Security Minister, completely untouched.

But at least he finally took down his tribute to a mass killer that's been hanging in his home for decades. Small steps, right? I wonder if he ever gave Rabin's hood ornament back.

Quite an interesting contrast between how the US dealt with Soleimani vs. Ben-Gvir.

What pretending to do something look like.

Oh those 4 people are going to regret not being able to . . . use US financial institutions. That'll stop the atrocities.

What more do you want Dark Brandon to do?

Perfection is the enemy of good. At this point is there anything Biden could do that'd make you happy?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

Perfection?! Are you serious??

Stop arming the nazis that are behind the settlers, that would make me happy sir. This is like shoot you in the face and then ask you if you need a doctor.

Maybe stop supporting Israel in this war? Maybe use the vast amounts of soft power to swing the US dick around to stop a genocide? What the hell are you even saying, this is a token response that won't matter at all. This isn't "good"

Don't worry bro, the bad times are over. We have sanctions in place against two individuals so the problem is basically over.

I really love how they sanctioned the literal minimum amount of people so news articles could add an s at the end of settler.
