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.

It's probably because they know they won't be temporary refugees. If they leave Gaza they will never be allowed to return. It's ethnic cleansing.

Pretty sure the 50% of the Gaza population who are children would be better off not being bombed to fuck. That's ethnic cleansing. Moving down the road a bit while Hamas gets wiped out seems a wise move.

True that's also ethnic cleansing. Hm. Maybe some country shouldn't be engaged in ethnic cleansing. Maybe that's the actual problem.

Yes, Hamas' entire existence is built on their charter to ethnically cleanse the Israelis..

Meanwhile, Israel doesn't need to put it into a charter. They just do it, and have been for decades.

We've just witnessed what happens when Hamas puts all of their might into their charter of ethnic cleansing. If Israel had such a charter, what would it look like if Israel put all their might into ethnically cleansing Gaza?

Innocent people always suffer in war, maybe provoking an unwinnable one has consequences for others in your nation. Maybe some country shouldn't invade its neighbor, slaughter and kidnap its civilians to avoid such retribution.

Palestine at this point is a sickly rage-drunk inconsolable angry person at the bar, yelling about how their home got repossessed to build the establishment. In a rage they punch the bouncer in the face, and when the predictable beat-down occurs they plead, "Look what they're doing to me! I'm being unfairly repressed! I have kids who will suffer because of this! This is systemic oppression! They made me do it!"

Except in this case the bouncer shows up the next day in the drunk's neighborhood and starts shooting up all the homes and kills a bunch of his neighbors and the newspapers call him a hero.

I honestly couldn't tell if you were talking about Israel or Palestine here lol.

What really grinds my gears, are people who purposefully immigrated to both Gaza, and as Israeli settlers, just to have as many kids as possible to increase the population, then use their own kids as throwaway tokens in a fully expected conflict.

Having double nationality and now asking "their countries" to avacuate them, is just extra insulting.
