Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Van Hollen of Maryland and Merkley of Oregon produced the report after a week-long visit to Israel, the occupied West Bank, the Rafah border with Gaza, Jordan and Egypt at the end of August. The damning 21-page report is titled, "The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians. America is Complicit. The World Must Stop It."

The report observed that overwhelming evidence shows “Israel is…implementing a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians and dealing a death blow to the vision of a future Palestinian state”.

Excuse me? This has been going on for over 2 years with full support of the US and most of its people, this is America's genocide as much as it is Israel's, the American weapons made it possible and they're still flowing on Americans' dime. Don't distance them from their fair share of the blame.

This is America's shit to fix, this is Biden's genocide that he and Kamala lost the election over, this is his genocide that Trump allowed to continue, almost everything that's currently going down hill with no brakes in the US is a direct result of this genocide, and the consequences aren't fully there yet.

Americans need to wake up and hold both parties accountable, purge the Nazis on both sides, take them to the Hague and remove every powerful monster that supported this genocide from power and polite society, because the tide is turning quick now and keeping their head in the sand won't work much longer. We're at the "we've always been against it stage", but that window is quickly shrinking.

Don't let Nazi supporters get away with this, if Americans cared enough to fix their own shit, they world reject both Nazi parties and revolt. But the ones who say they care to fix shit, are busy cheerleading for Newsom...

I still remember you guys bombing my country and calling us racist names, only for you to move on and expect me to

Pakistan? Libya? Iraq? Presumably not Afghanistan, Somalia, Syria, cuz those places are super-fucked. Can you give me a better hint than "place America bombed since WWII" and "people americans are openly racist towards"? That venn diagram is a circle covering half the planet.
