Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

They want to destroy Israel and kill every infidel in Israel. There are 7.2 million Jews in Israel. They want to kill 7.2 million Jews.

Gaza is 98% Sunni Muslim.

Israel is 74.2% Jewish, 17.8% Muslim, 2% Christian, 1.6% Druze, and 4.4% other. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel

Which one is fascist? Which one is multi-cultural?

Just like Apartheid south Africa was multi-cultural, right?

All those ethnicities have equal legal rights, right? Including in the areas Israel is colonizing?

If I'm gay, can I get married in Israel?

Did the multiculturalism extend to the Gazan Jewish or Christian populations (you know, the Jewish ancestors of the people that DIDN'T leave in the diaspora)?

Did it extend to their places of worship?

Again, you're falling back to the literal last argument of literally every apartheid government everywhere: if we stop oppressing them, they'll kill us.

Do you think the ANC was a terrorist group?

Do you think they killed of all the British and Dutch ancestry people that were there?

Come on. At least try to be original in defense of the slaughter of mostly children.

EDIT: forgot to add that you need to stop anti-semitically equating the actions of a genocidal child murdering state, and a ethnicity/religion. Why do you keep doing that. It's antisemitic.

Stop being antisemitic.

Yes.

If I'm gay, can I get married in Israel?

Yes. It's illegal to be gay in Gaza.

Did the multiculturalism extend to the Gazan Jewish or Christian populations (you know, the Jewish ancestors of the people that DIDN'T leave in the diaspora)?

Yes, assuming you're still talking about when/where Israel was in charge.

Did it extend to their places of worship?

Using the past tense? Not in Gaza, but yes in Israel.

Do I need to continue? You're obviously ignorant
