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!

Oh...no. I'm not doing this Gish Gallup bullshit.
Jews are from there. LONG history before the Arabs came in. Jews were persecuted in their own land and largely expelled. Then when they were persecuted elsewhere, en masse, Arabs got mad about all the Jews being their neighbors. Kinda like white Americans getting upset about Mexican folks (many with indigenous roots) being their neighbors...and started getting violent.
Shit was a mess since then. But on 10/7 Israel wasn't attacking Gaza...it was unprovoked, brutal, and fueled by genocidal intent. THAT started this shit.
Sources by multiple Israeli historians isn't "gish gallop," which you'd understand if you actually read the sources
I already added a quick summary of the myths you repeat, which are Israeli propaganda to justify ethnic cleansing, genocide, apartheid, and Colonialism.
Read the full context if you don't believe me. If you're so confident it shouldn't be hard for you to go through the books and try to prove yourself wrong
