The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

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. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
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.

bibles and churches are banned in Saudi arabia
Only islam is allowed to be prosletysed, non muslims are completely banned from mecca
Around 2 million Muslims enjoying complete freedom of religion inside Israel. While Jews cannot even wear a small head cover in neighboring countries.
Yet about which country the millions of hateful useful idiots gathering in the streets of western capitals shouting "Apartheid"?
Not only do Muslims have freedom of religion but Jews are not allowed to pray on the temple mount by law. While true that some interpretations of Judaism forbid even setting foot on the temple mount until the third temple is built that not all of them do and it is not the reason for the law. The law is there because historically whenever Palestinians even think Jews may be trying to do anything of a religious nature on the temple mount there has been violence. So despite having physical access to the temple mount Jews are not allowed to pray on it in order to maintain the status quo from before Israel captured the area in 1967 in order to attempt to keep the peace.
When polled, most Gazans listed al-Aqsa as the reason for the Oct 7th massacre (hence the name al-Aqsa flood) over seeking statehood or the blockade
The poll showed that 81% of respondents believed that Hamas’ primary goal in its Oct. 7 attack was a “response to settler attacks on Al-Aqsa Mosque and on Palestinian citizens and for the release of prisoners from Israeli prisons.”
It found that 72% of respondents approved of Hamas’ decision to launch the Oct. 7 attack, in which the terror group killed 1,200 Israelis, took more than 240 captive and committed numerous atrocities.
call it for what it is ,this is a religious conflict
Man, if your argument relies on comparing a country to despotism like Saudi Arabia to get a 'favorable' comparison, maybe both countries are dog shite.
