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.

It's implied. A ceasefire gives a chance to negotiate for hostages and for peace.

[–] MeanEYE 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People are not good with history. Take a gander at how Hamas reacted with literally every ceasefire in the past. What happens when there's a ceasefire and Hamas strikes in the middle of it and more people die. What will people chant then? "We are sorry you got killed"?

Here's a list. I know next comment is going to be "but but but IDF source". You have the dates, google them. And that's 2014 only. You can look up 2018. as well.

You are welcome. I wish ceasefire would be used to humanitarian effort but it's not.

[–] Hatsune_Miku -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

how do you personally deal with those who just handwave evidence away?

[–] MeanEYE 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't. You can't deal with people who take an effort not to allow change in their beliefs. They have decided what they want to believe in and then are just searching for reasons to support that.

[–] Hatsune_Miku -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rather concerning they're in support of terrorists.

[–] MeanEYE 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not terrorists according to UN.

[–] Hatsune_Miku -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no, the UN classifies Hamas as terrorists. They've told Hamas to stop using Hospitals

[–] MeanEYE 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They actually don't. They did say stop using hospitals, return prisoners etc. But never once did they condemn their actions or label them as terrorist organization. There were even politicians calling on UN to label them. And they refused.

You don't gotta look far, actually. I know I'm probably simplifying it a little but the 7th of October is the latest time Hamas broke a ceasefire.

[–] Hatsune_Miku -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

huh wonder why you're downvoted. i mean that is what happened.

[–] shork 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Good question! (Insert X variant online mob) someone prolly just didn't like the answer. Some folks like rooting for the underdog so much they'll do it even if its a literal terrorist organization.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago

It's very much so not implied.
