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.

A new survey showing that 82 percent of Jewish Israelis support the expulsion of Gazans was met with disbelief among those who stubbornly believe that the extremists are outliers. But these trends are as consistent as they are shocking

Can you also understand if a gaza child ends up blowing himself in a berlin club or does your empathy only extend to the genociders?

Sadly, I can understand that too. My understanding is that most suicide bombers are people with little to no future prospects who are either doing it because thier family will be rewarded in this life, or are convinced by others tgat they will be rewarded in the next life. They also tend to be gullible. Often they are as much a victim as those they kill. The ones we convinced them to do it, and gave them the bomb or what not. Those are the truely evil ones.

Ah yes you have a lot of empathy.

Yes and no. I don't really feel a lot of empathy. I have just come to realize intellectually that a whole lot of people are manipulated by a very small subset that only cares about itself. It's a numbers game. Given enough people, thier manipulations will end up producing a few like the people in question. And those people's only real crime is being easily manipulated. Which probably isn't thier fault. Telling an easily manipulated person to just not be is like telling a 5' tall person to be 6'. I chose to focus the majority of my ire on the manipulators.
