Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

Only one country is committing genocide.
Furthermore, resistance against occupiers is not only legal but enshrined in international law.
Apartheid countries, like Israel, are inherently occupiers.
I agree on the first part.
On the rest, are you saying you support the Oct 7th attacks?
Are you saying that you think violent resistance against people killing and kidnapping your children is wrong?
How would you resist people killing and kidnapping your children?
Do you condemn John Brown? Do you condemn the ANC's violent resistance against the apartheid government of South Africa? Do you condemn the black people of Rhodesia fighting their occupiers?
Or, maybe a better example of your moral cowardice, you would have condemned the Warsaw Uprising.
EDIT: Do you you also demand people condemn Nat Turner?
You really called me pro-genocide because I said you should be careful justifying "consequences", and you're out here advocating BUTCHERING women and children.
You're literally the same as them. Bye.
I called you pro-genocide because you are trying to imply that the palestinians are morally the same as the IDF. Get it right if you're going to try and reference what I said.
You're literally justifying genocide. Bye.
I condemned IDF's genocide and Hamas' terrorism. Killing babies is bad no matter who pulls the trigger. You're the one making the justifications.
So, to be clear, you do condemn Nat Turners slave uprising?
You condemn ANC's necklacing people? You condemn the terrorism that created Israel? You condemn any violence that results in peoples liberation?
