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!

Agree this just a diversion as are air drops. If trucks are blocked why not use
It's becoming clear that this aid-by-port charade is really just a means of delaying, and subsequently withholding, food and aid.
So, the plan is that the IDF will manage the beach side of the operation. These are the same people preventing aid coming through by road right now
So, Democrats, are you tired of being lied to and taken for granted yet?
Still not as tired as I am of Republicans
Americans used to look down on regular people overseas who felt they had no choice but to vote for one or another genocidal madman. They used to talk about how oppression rendered people so helpless that they'd give away their human decency just to hold on to what little power they held through the personality of their charlatan politicians.
And now Americans are just as morally impoverished as the most abused Russian soldier, and they didn't even have to fight a war to get that way.
But wait, there is another choice…
So, reminder: there are trucks ready to rock that can deliver supplies. They’re waiting just across the border but are stopped by IDF inspectors (making sure there is no weapons, or fuel, or anything “objectionable”… just food and medical.) and by Israeli far right extremists protesting.
any excuse to deploy american troops overseas sounds great thanks
