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!

What's most crazy to me is that Zionists have this obsession with contemporary history. History of course is important, but one thing it doesn't do is excuse the murder of unarmed civilians. You can't use the past to justify crimes in the present, especially when the crime is genocide.
You can't pick out random victims from a prison and rape them to death, have your society protect and commend the rapists and murderers, and claim that your society is not the least bit unhinged. I don't need to know the rest of the details.
You can't order people to leave their homes for "safe zones", turn the rest of the city into the surface of the moon, only to then bomb the "safe zones" too.
You can't bomb fields, sheep and cattle. You can't bomb or poison wells. I don't care who hurt you in the past. You can't fucking cut out the eyes of sheep and claim you're the good guy.
You can't burn down olive groves and use violence to terrorize people to leave their villages, bulldoze it all and build your settlement, and then talk about how it's fair because of how you were treated 80 years ago -- let alone 3000 years ago.
You can't say "nobody wants to accept 2 million Palestinian refugees, I wonder why hurr durr maybe they're just bad people who DESERVE TO DIE" when nobody wanted to naturalize Jewish refugees after the Holocaust. How the fuck does this not register?
