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.

Emirati influencers and an official Israeli state X account have been targeting the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) on social media, while its paramilitary rival, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has massacred hundreds of civilians in Sudan's el-Fasher.

As many came out on social media to criticise the United Arab Emirates (UAE), whose support for the RSF is well-documented, influencers from the UAE have responded by going after the SAF.

Notably, Israeli accounts, including the country’s official Arabic language account, have also joined in. Amjad Taha, an Emirati analyst who often appears on western media, has led the charge to link the SAF to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Hamas in Gaza.

Disgusting to see that the only Arab countries that the U.S. does business with are those who fund this massacre and turn their back on their fellow Arabs in Palestine.

Birds of a feather...
