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!

"just a war", where 80% of the casualties are civilians?
Uh, ok Lennie.
It's far worse than that- he's saying it's a just war, as in, justified. For justice.
Holy shit, I had to re-read the headline. FFS!
He's a straight-up genocide apologist.
It's even worse when you use the original order of words.
There is nothing "just" about any war, especially not this one.
Says who? Hamas?
Source: The Guardian
Those are minimum numbers of Hamas killed. It is just the ones Israel were able to name.
How many civilians was Israel able to name?
Gaza Health Authority are Hamas run. They lied about 500 killed by Israel at Al Ahli hospital early on in the war. The hospital wasn't even hit, it was in the car park and it was a Palestinian Intifada Jihad rocket.
I went looking and found a source for what I wanted to say. Feel free to provide any kind of source for your claim. Otherwise, it would follow that you aren't interested in actually discussing, just making accusations.
You go first, otherwise it would follow that you aren't interested in actually discussing, just making accusations.
I did, the Guardian story. My source was in place before my request for yours.
The Guardian are not comparing like with like.
I was hoping you would come up with evidence that Al Ahli hospital was bombed... by anyone.
Here is a video of the Al Ahli aftermath showing only a crater in the car park.
Am still waiting for your response to the video "otherwise it would follow that you aren't interested in actually discussing, just making accusations".
Oh OK, this guy says it so it must be true. Isreal isn't actually striking hospitals, it's just a car park and its always Palestinian rockets. Trust me.
There were no photos of Al Ahli hospital damage. Can you show otherwise?
There was video of the blast in the car park. I can show you that (taken by a Gazan the morning after).
The misfiring Palestinian rocket was unintentionally captured in live footage by Al Jazeera.
I am not talking about other hospitals. Seems you don't know much about this one though. There is no need to trust me, the evidence is there if you care to look for it.
Says literally everyone that isn't an IDF propaganda mouthpiece.
