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.

It should be noted that, since Israel is only able to operate like this because of the financial, materiel, and diplomatic support of the United States, these are US crimes. We are doing this. Officials in the Biden administration, and it’s State Department should be held criminally liable for these crimes. Now is the time to hold Harris politically responsible for starting to fix our mess.

That's why in January we don't dissipated even if Harris wins. 2028 should entail a full primary season no matter how she does. Yes, I want to go back to my normal life after the election but fascism isn't just going to take a break.

When there was a report that this happened to a couple of the Israeli detainees, people raised Holy Hell demanding a country be flattened for it.

Surely their reaction is the same when its over 9000 Palestinian detainees, right?

...........right?!

Do you think it’s that people don’t care or that we’re astroturfed that much by a certain state actor.

What US did at Abu Ghraib was fucked up beyond belief. Isreal doing it is insane. How will these people ever re-enter society without being forever slighted by Isreal? People are disgusting.
