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.

The surprise move, in a declaration endorsed on Tuesday by the 22 member nations of the Arab League, also condemned Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, which set off the devastating war in Gaza.

Apart from both being the attacked ones, they have not much in common.

Not true. Israel and russis has very similar talking points

Because Ukraine was allowed some level of sovereignty after the Sovjet Union collapsed, whereas Palestinians have been denied sovereignty ever since the British and French carved up the carcass of the Ottoman empire.

Just your friendly reminder that Hamas != Palestinians.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

Right now Hamas and other armed groups are the only ones preventing Israel from the total extermination of all Palestinians in Gaza.

If it wasn't for the armed resistance, Israeli soldiers wouldn't rely on using food to bait starving people into the fire of the death squads. Without armed resistance they could just go house to house.

But also over the past two decades. Without armed resistance in Gaza, Israel wouldn't have stopped annexing Gaza with settlements. Only because the resistance made that too costly, Israel abandoned its settlements and turned Gaza into an open air prison instead.

You are right, that Palestinians are not equal to Hamas. As the supporters of Israels like the US and most Europeans always helped Israels in its crimes, rather than stopping them, armed resistance is the only lifeline for the Palestinian people.

So tell the west to stop selling weapons and impose state level sanctions. Israel said it won't stop the war after hostages are released. The israeli governmemt is determined to do it's final solution
