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.

ROME — The population of the Gaza Strip is suffering "unprecedented" levels of "near famine-like conditions" as the Hamas-Israel war drags on, the UN's agriculture agency said Monday.

Some 550,000 people are now likely facing catastrophic food insecurity levels, while the whole population is in crisis mode, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said.

And how exactly do you propose that the civilians of Gaza overthrow Hamas? Hamas have all the weapons and the majority of the population wasn't born the last time they were allowed to vote, let alone old enough to vote.

Fact is that Hamas is not a normal government/army that can be defeated by conventional means but a terrorist organization. As such the worse the Israeli government abuses the Gazans, the easier it becomes for them to radicalize new recruits and the more power and influence they gain.

The current situation is exactly what Hamas wants and needs and the worse it gets and the longer it goes on, the better for them.

Hamas is also great for the right wing Likud fascists. that's probably why they transferred suitcases of money to them.
