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!

Israelis aren't going anywhere, they believe that the land itself is holy and belongs ONLY TO THEM AS THE TRUE GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.
This of course is exactly what the Arabs believe, and why there'll never be peace between the two groups.
Yep.
Alright, there is misconception going on, I believe, and we're still operating on decades-old outdated beliefs about the tensions on Israel.
The Arab states already accepted long ago that the Israeli state is here to stay. Before the Hamas attack on October 7, there was supposed to be a deal to be signed between Israel and Saudi for closer cooperation. Part of the deal is Israel returning the occupied settlements in West Bank to Palestine, unconditionally. Israel did and was about to sign it but got derailed by Hamas attack.
Many people who are not Jewish live in Israel and don't have any issues. The same can not be said for non Muslims in any of their neighbours.
Irrelevant to the topic.
