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.

The trouble with killing the people who say the propaganda is you eventually end with the people who believe the propganda in charge. This was a consistent takeaway from the war on terror. If Israel were looking to prolong the war, taking out the relative moderates would probably help.

It seems obvious that Netanyahu does not want peace. This war is the only thing keeping him in power. There is no incentive for him to seek peace.

And he's very likely going to jail once he leaves office, so he has even more reason than most to cling on.

It's always been about his survival.

Genuinely curiuos why this comment in particular got obliterated. Do people dispute the premise that the leaders are more rational then the followers?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pissed off both sides. Pro Palestinian posters don't like that he was called a propagandist and Pro Isrealis don't like any implication Netanyahu is killing a massive number of people to stay in power.

Probably true lol.

I only dispute that the guy is a "moderate", everything else I agree with.

Not "Israel " but Netanyahu and the religious extreamist. Israel wants to release all the hostages and end the useless war already

Hell, Iran wants to have it prolonged too. They’ve dreamed of this. Spent a lot of time, energy and money to have things blow up this way. They don’t care: the ends justify the means.

Iran didnt show any sign they want to prelong this war. The fact that before their drone attack notify both the US and the UK about the time of the attack refute your claim. Because they have the right to lunch a bigger attack if they wanted.

Religious extremists in Iran. It's a global war that the 3 religions declared on the western world, but somehow we keep calling the countries by names.

When did Ismael made a propaganda statement. He is a diplomatic office leader. His job is to meet and speak with other power in region.
