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!

ATTENTION!
For all those confused how people who hate Jewish people so much can support Israel.
They hate any one who looks Arab even more, unless they got oil to sell.
Ik it makes no sense, no surprises there.
And just part of white nationalism is that they want Jews to leave their country and move to Israel. (I’m not sure what they think about white Europeans on Native American lands. They probably came up with some bullshit that lets them live in Oklahoma but I avoid people like that. Someone else will have to ask.)
Honestly, my perception of the antisemite/Zionist crossover has always been that is there's a Jewish state then there's a place for Jews to go that isn't here.
I don't know though, that may be entirely too rational for a worldview founded on ignorance-fueled emotions.
Let me introduce you to THE MADAGASCAR PLAN! TLDR-The Nazis planned on sending all the Jews to Madagascar so they'd get out of Europe. They thought to send them to Palestine first, but the British controlled that and the guy planning it didn't want the Jews too close to Europe.
Its really more religious from my understanding. The idea that Jesus will come back sometime after the jewish temple gets rebuilt, I think, is what is being spread. Isreal has to be a sovereign nation for the end of the world to kick off.
This was a large part of the discussion in Europe at the end of WW2.
Germany wasn't the only country trying to decide an answer to "the Jewish question." Some advocates may have had good intentions, but many just didn't want to open their borders to Jewish refugees, and the idea of Israel was a convenient way for them to wash their hands of it.
