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.

Most Israelis don't have an ounce of empathy in them, most Israelis have been brainwashed into believing that Palestinians are Untermenschen.

Just like Russia has been conditioning their population to think less of Ukrainians, Poles and other neighbors.

That’s fucked.

Well then most Israeli’s are ok with genocide which to me seems rather ironic.

It is not that curious if you look at it from this point of view:

It is not uncommon that kids that got beaten by their parents will become abusive parents themselves. So... now look at what century long oppression and an pretty serious attempt at genocide can make out of a people if they get the means to stand up for their own. Hint: It isn't pretty.

I mean, a good chunk/a majority served in the IDF, and definitely have friends and family who are heartless killers. Even if at some point you had some humanity, how well would you handle having a hand in genocide/chilling with those who did? You'd have to rationalize it and mute your heart and better judgment if you're too weak to hold yourself accountable, else how would you sleep at night? It's the kind of stuff that would make any decent human being consider ending it all.

You're telling me the population that riotted when a rapist soldier was tried, has mandatory military service, and said military is enacting a genocide, is actually for the genocide? Wow I'm shocked.

...because they believe those reports to be exaggerated, false, or both.
