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.

Former President Barack Obama said a way forward for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is only possible if people acknowledge the “complexity” of the situation.

“If there’s any chance of us being able to act constructively to do something, it will require an admission of complexity and maintaining what on the surface may seem contradictory ideas that what Hamas did was horrific, and there’s no justification for it. And … that the occupation and what’s happening to Palestinians is unbearable,” Obama said in an interview on the podcast “Pod Save America.”

The former president’s comments come as the Israeli military focuses its offensive against Hamas in Gaza City and northern parts of the enclave.

You libs are so fucking stupid. Learn to question what you're told, institutions lie all the time.

This is the exact comment I would expect from a racist, sexist xenophobe who is scared of the world.

I'd love to hear why you think im a racist, sexist xenophobe.

You support Russia, want all Israelites dead, and think Trump's foreign policy was great. You're right, we can take sexist out (although the Trump support is suspicious) but you are definitely a racist and xenophobe. "I'm a leftist". LMAO exactly what an idiot fascist would say on social media. Nobody's buying your two bit bullshit.

I think Trump's foreign policy was dog shit, it's just better than Obama's because it didn't directly cause the deaths of thousands. Nothing you said implies I'm a racist. So basically, I'm a xenophobe because I think we need to kill people committing genocide? So then you also think the Russia/Britain/America faction in WW2 was a bunch of xenophobes, right? They also wanted to kill genocidal people.

If you were a real leftist, you wouldn't blindly support the actions of the extremely far right American government. No true leftist supports Obamas foreign policy.

I'm not a leftist and I'm also not a racist and a xenophobe. Interesting that you think you are defending your bigotry. FYI nothing you say will change my opinion of you at this point.

I don't give a shit what you think of me, I was just waiting for you to admit that all of your beliefs are based on bullshit. It's very big of you to admit it.

Lol. Apology accepted.
