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.

An Israeli court has temporarily blocked a plan, cooked up by far right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, to construct a moat full of crocodiles around a notoriously abusive prison that holds Palestinians. The injunction was issued on Sunday against the transfer of crocodiles to the facility in response to a petition filed over concerns that the crocodiles would be harmed or mistreated.

We can’t send these poor crocodiles to this concentration camp for Palestinians! It’s a concentration camp for Palestinians!

Sort of yes?

The crocodiles would also be an invasive species in the area.

It's wild that that is the main concern here.

It's all just comically evil. Like 80s cartoon evil, but as part of a genocide.

Like I couldn't see cobra or megatron doing shit israel does regularly... they're evil but not without standards. Same with Joker rejecting the Red Skull because even he has enough sense to despise nazis.
