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!

I didn't post the article he is referring to. He's saying that to sow doubt. But you will see, I had nothing do with posting that article, nor did I write it.
Some guy named Allah posted that article. Don't know him, never heard of him, other than he posted that article.
No clue why someone would lie and imply that I had anything to do with it, other than he is just annoyed that I'm not the only one who is not voting for Harris or Trump.
I just thought the part where you said "I like Israel" was yucky, given what makes the most sense to infer from that, within the context that you said it.
Though maybe all that can really be inferred from that in good faith is that you just wanted to annoy a stranger on the internet, which is admirable
I do like Israel (I've traveled there because my gf is Jewish) but I do not and never have supported genocide. It's more like "condemning the policies, not hating everyone there" sorta thing. And it is a beautiful place.
That's obviously the mature take, but my point was that you said it in a problematic context without nuance, which comes across as intentionally inflammatory.
I assume you're aware, and simply appreciate an opportunity to be pedantic (though I may be projecting there) but, jic- the headline(s) that the conversation were about say "Israel [bad thing]" but it's understood as "Israeli government/military [bad thing]." When you comment within that context without specifying that you're essentially referring to a different subject (the country/ their peoples), your comment is understood to be referring to the same subject as the article/headline (I.e., the government/military)
Intentionally inflammatory is this fuck's only MO
