Rules:

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.

They get accused of war crimes every single day but nobody ever does anything about it

With trump they'll skip the accusations altogether 👍

Apparently being the victim of genocide gives you a free pass.

I don't even know what the US gets in return for supporting Israel. There's not even any oil to be had.

Look up AIPAC and who receives money from them. Hint: their largest recipient was Biden.

Bingo. AIPAC funds a lot of election campaigns and gives the most money to the most pro Israel politicians.

That, more than anything, is why most everyone in Congress is Westworlding.

Israel can fuck up every oil field in the middle east, so I guess the thinking is that it keeps everyone in the region in line?

Nobody can do shit about it anyways so they are going to do it for whatever reason. Red and blue party just won elections and it's going to win again in 4 years, government gonna do whatever they want.
