Rules:

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.

MODERATORS
 
  • Global surge in antisemitic incidents following the conflict between Hamas and Israel, affecting Jewish communities in various countries.
  • Antisemitic acts range from verbal abuse to physical assaults, often justified by anger over the Gaza conflict.
  • In areas like the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, and South Africa, antisemitic incidents have increased several hundred percent compared to the same period last year.
  • Official responses vary, with Western authorities generally quick to support Jewish communities, while some countries like China have not taken steps to curtail antisemitic content online.

Media Bias Fact Check (Reuters):

Overall, we rate Reuters Least Biased based on objective reporting and Very High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information with minimal bias and a clean fact check record.

That law is about naturalization of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza, who are not Israeli citizens.

I think we both agree that the West Bank is not the legal territory of Israel, right?

Naturalisation, by definition, involves people who are not Israeli citizens.

It's about Arab Israelis who are married to a Palestinian, which is the only group of people not allowed to naturalise to, and I quote, "preserve the Jewishness of Israel". And of course, Arab Israelis happen to be the one group in Israel who marry Palestinians.

It's a law designed to prevent the Arab Israelis from naturalising their family members, which is a privilege afforded to the Jewish majority. It's designed to keep the Arab Israelis a minority. And that's not speculation, it's literally claimed to be so by the lawmakers who drafted the law.
