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.

Didn't know we were waiting for confirmation on that. Didn't they post a report back in December that Israel had intel and did nothing?

Fucking monsters.

Exactly, the whole thing was just a convinient excuse to exterminate Palestinians, it was never about defending Israel

Yes. First time I heard it was still in October 23 in a fucking tiktok clip. Same with most of the other atrocities. The media reports on it now not because they've learned these things only now but because they have become impossible to ignore/deny.

There's a string of not-even-hidden evidence going back many years: Netanyahu's government actively conspired to destroy Gaza, Palestine etc. by all means, incl. killing their own soldiers and civilians, incl. even supporting Hamas.

Very well documented is the fact that in the 1980s, Israel supported Hamas to undermine the PLO, because the PLO wanted a two-state solution and Hamas and Israel did not. Hamas has long provided Israel with the excuse to keep escalating.

Frankly, it's all pretty well documented. They've been doing it out in the open for a long time.

If I remember correctly, the PLO only adopted a two-state ideology in 1993.
