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.

What a despicable monstrous opinion.

Not an opinion. It’s what’s happening right now.

Ya. And it's despicable and monsterous.

If only America stopped flushing billions over billions of dollars on killing innocent brown people.

Hamas doomed a lot of people as soon as they set up a base in a hospital.

Israel doomed a lot of people when they murdered them.

I mean America is despicable and monstrous as well by your standards. 9/11 killed 3K people. Our subsequent invasion and the war on terror has lead to almost half a million civillian casualties (not even including the economic damage or how many were displaced). I'd love to find a government that could take an attack like that and surgically exterminate only those involved in it without harming anyone else. Sadly that's not realistic. I think things would at least calm down if hamas returned the hostages. Sadly, they don't even seem to know where a lot of them are atm and have made it clear they won't. So Israel either needs to level Palestine trying to find them or compell hamas to release them. Any diplomatic option would just incentivise hamas to do more attacks like the October incursion. That said Israel should really stop because I don't see an end here. Hamas cares so little about Palestinians their more than happy to see them wiped out and Israel can't realistically just take over the whole gaza strip. It has to end eventually and stretching it out just seems to be because Israel wants to hurt Palestine as retaliation with hostages or diplomacy as secondary considerations. Bibi lost face in this attack and wants to present himself as hard in response when really this is partly his colossal f*ck up.
