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.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel offered condolences Thursday on the passing of Pope Francis, more than three days after the death of the Roman Catholic world’s leader.

The delay in issuing a statement highlighted apparent tensions in the relationship between Israeli officials and the pope, who pointedly criticized Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza and repeatedly called for a cease-fire.

Give him a break. Commiting ethnic cleansing and rampant genocide can be very time consuming and distracting.

Don't forget he's also dealing with his trial for bribery, fraud and breach of trust. That's gotta weigh heavy on his non-existent conscience.

In all fairness his dance card is pretty full with all the war crimes.

One thing that would be annoying about being famous is assholes pretending they are sad about your passing.

Good thing is, you won't experience that, so that's somebody else's problem.

Sometimes Christians come back to life and make you look stupid

Well, Francis wasn't a jew. It needs to be a Christian jew.

That’s why you gotta hit ‘em with the dead pope hammer.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If they keep trying, you didn't hit them hard enough.

Sometimes even nailing them to something is not enough.

Thanks demon

He wanted to make sure there was no suspicion first.

Perhaps they will be able to meet up in the afterlife soon, since I believe both of them are likely heading in the same direction there.
