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.

Israel is a settler colonialist state using pseudoscience and “Zionism” which is just the same repackaged ideology that justified the extermination of the indigenous population in the United States. Israel is a settler colonialist project that’s main objective is the systematic extermination and land absorption of the Middle East. It’s Manifest Destiny all over again

Yeah Huckabee just said the Bible states they will rule the land so they should just take Jordan, Syria, Lebanon. He's probably testing the waters for pushing greater Israel

He also said "they" is an ethnic group who descended from Abraham, but also literally anybody who says they're a Jew because it's religious, but you don't have to be religious because it's ethnic but Palestinians shouldn't be DNA tested to prove they're Jews who converted and are closer genetically than the Jews of Europe, all in the same sitting.

The mental gymnastics he went through to justify without outright saying it that Israel is for primarily white Europeans...

So true and I think if I read correctly two of Abraham’s sons started the Muslim religion so aren’t they descendents of Abraham too by that logic? I’m not a fan of religion and government mixing at all

They want their Armageddon and I’m sure they will have it. Sadly.
