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.

Summary

Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.

Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.

While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.

Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.

Specific people become president, not ideologies. You don't vote for ideologies, you vote for people.

But if you wanted a replacement for right wing authoritarianism posing as progressive she would have been the perfect person for you.

Like I said, you got what you wanted and you're complaining about it.

You don't vote for ideologies

The VBNMW crowd says different

I'm not complaining, the job is only half done

Okay, I'm not part of whatever crowd you're talking about so I'm not sure why you're telling me that.

The reality in the world where we live is that there were only two people who had a chance of being president in January- Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

You clearly didn't want Harris. She lost. You got what you wanted.

Democrats and Republicans in general vote for whoever is on their ticket, regardless of their past, Harris and Trump are prime examples. So yes, people mostly vote on ideology, not

Yet again-

The reality in the world where we live is that there were only two people who had a chance of being president in January- Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

You clearly didn’t want Harris. She lost. You got what you wanted.
