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.

Edit: It looks like the argument here is that the US is not calling for an instant ceasefire, but instead saying that one is very important to have. China and Russia say it should be immediate. The US also tied it to hostage talks.

Another resolution is in the works to call for an immediate ceasefire, but the US is expected to veto it because they believe it could endanger hostage talks.

The same can be said of Bibi and the IDF. They see Palestinians as 'vermin' that must be eradicated and not people who, according to the creation of Israel post-WW2 by the UN, have a right to live on the land as well.

Until Israel is forced to follow the UN's original intention and Hamas is completely dismantled, there will be no peace in the ME.

Let me add that there is a lot more shit hitting fans in the ME than just the Palestine-Israel conflict

@girlfreddy @nonailsleft Just fyi "nonailsleft" lime juice seems to do something enzymatically to the fungus which keeps the nail biting cycle going. Whenever I relapse on picking or biting every few years, lime juice stops it in its tracks.

Until Israel is forced to follow the UN’s original intention and Hamas is completely dismantled, there will be no peace in the ME.

Why is only one of these getting dismantled?

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Because I believe Israel should exist in conjunction with Palestinian lands.

Just my opinion.

Israel the modern state shouldn't exist, not at all. It's an Apartheid settler colonialist state and much more of a terrorist organization than Hamas. Now whether Palestine should be partitioned with one part given to Jews that's a different debate, but even then that should be a new state built from the ground up with an actually fair constitution and international supervision. I say even then because I believe one democratic state is a lot better than two states that are likely to go to war with each other and much more liable to become Apartheid states.
