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.

Iran has told Israel through the UN that it will intervene if the country’s operations against Hamas in Gaza continue, a report has claimed.

Israel has warned 1.1 million people living in the north of the enclave to evacuate ahead of an expected ground operation in Gaza with the IDF planning to strike the territory from land, sea and air.

Iran’s involvement could be through a militant group from Syria or by backing Hezbollah to join the conflict, diplomatic sources told Axios.

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Israel’s operations could cause fighting to expand to other areas of the Middle East which would cause Israel to suffer “a huge earthquake”, reported the Associated Press.

I just realized you're not the same person, but your response is still weird given the context of the conversation.

Original below, but ignore it I guess.


Because at some point people have to figure out their own shit for themselves.

Uh...The question was "why is the US so involved with Israel," and you replied it's because the US is against genocide. So then, 'shouldn't Israel be figuring its shit out' without us?

We usually get involved when things get extreme, or when someone's trying to keep us from the oil (just keeping it real).

Agreed, but I'm not the one picking favorites here.

I just realized you’re not the same person, but your response is still weird given the context of the conversation. .. Original below, but ignore it I guess.

Considering you took what I said out of context, so it sounds like I'm saying something completely different, I couldn't really ignore it, and had to reply to it.

Next time it might be better if you just deleted what you said, especially if it wasn't towards the intended person.

Uh…The question was “why is the US so involved with Israel,” and you replied it’s because the US is against genocide.

So I was responding to this, specifically the italicized part...

There were/are many genocides over the past 70 years for which the US had/has the chance to intervene. If this was really our goal, why haven’t/don’t we step in for them?

As far as this goes...

So then, ‘shouldn’t Israel be figuring its shit out’ without us?

My actual previous response included this sentence...

We usually get involved when things get extreme

Finally just because you were very selective in my comment sentences that you quoted, let me include the whole thing down here below, for anyone else who may be reading this...

Because at some point people have to figure out their own shit for themselves.

America can’t be the policeman for the world forever, fixing everyone’s problems 24/7. We have our own problems to focus on as well.

We usually get involved when things get extreme, or when someone’s trying to keep us from the oil (just keeping it real).

Dude, i wasn't even trying to talk to you. I thought I was talking to the other guy, which is why I left that there. Calm down.

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Calm down.

Someone manipulates what I say so that it sounds like I said something different, I'm going to respond and push back. Anyone would.

You should have deleted your comment.

[–] qfjp@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should have deleted your comment.

It literally said "ignore this."

Seek help.

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, it's like you ignored everything I just said beforehand just so you could have the last word.

Instead of telling somebody to ignore a post and leaving it up, you should delete the post, especially if it's not for that person that you're replying to.
