Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Hamas could surrender and end the war right now. It's 100% on Hamas now.
Israel could surrender to Hamas. But I'm sure you have some reservations about that outcome. Strange how you wouldn't consider palastinians reservations to that as equal. Or maybe you don't need to operate on the concept of unconditional surrender just to justify your dick wagging
are you actually serious? israelis surrendering to hamas eventhough hamas attacked first?
this website is cooked
Yes, Hamas attacked first on October 7th, and before that it was all sunshine and daisies and everyone held hands and sang and Israel definitely hasn't been conquering Palestine since 1948.
Israelis can just go back to the lands they were originally driven from, right?…
Israel bombed Gaza two weeks before oct7
For three days in a row.
The bombs were in response to incendiary balloons they've been trading blows for years.
Which we can keep tracing back to ceasefires that keep being broken by israel such as the Al Aqsa raid.
Point is that the notion that this somehow started on oct7 while israel was bombing Gaza just two weeks before is ridiculous. There was no ceasefire at the moment of the attack.
My understanding is that Hamas has also repeatedly broken ceasefires. It doesn't seem like the ceasefire agreements are as effective as they should be.
Because israel keeps attacking the west bank. They just can't help themseles from not doing ethnic cleansing. Or claiming Hamas fired a rocket and just attacking Gaza.
I am by no means an expert, but I've been hearing about the conflict from both sides for several decades now. My take away is that both sides seem ideologically opposed to the existence of the other.
If Israel stopped all aggression today, I don't think it would stop the rockets; likewise Palestine could halt all aggression and still be attacked by the IDF. Lasting peace will require a shift in perspective, which gets harder to imagine with every day of the invasion.
Heavily disagree. Israel has always been the agressor especially in the west bank. The entire existence of israel is illogical if not for them being a colonial agressor.
Their strategy is to violate boundaries until someone retaliates and then they "self defense".
They used to drive their tractors over borders even when told they could not. Then when they went so deep they got shot, they needed to "defend themselves" onto their land. As a "buffer zone".
I can see an argument for Israel being the original aggressor, but the idea that Palestinians have never taken a turn is baffling.
If Israel were to cease all aggression immediately, would a lasting peace follow? It seems like a lot of people won't be satisfied unless Israel is removed from the Levant.
