Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

But the text quote isn't accurate. Watch the video. After he says "I think we should kill em all if that makes you feel better" then he says "everybody in Hamas"
He's responding to "I've seen shredded children's bodies" and he says "I think we should kill em all" which is a horrific response... Maybe he then decides to fix his statement or clarify and he says "everybody in Hamas" but either way that's what he says
Kinda sounds like the asshat in Texas I think, "the only good Democrat is a dead one."
The crowd cheers
"... Before the media picks up on that, I meant politically dead."
Yeah yeah... Well the people cheering definitely didn't think that when they cheered it on.
About as subtle as "in Minecraft".
Gotta watch out for those 5-year-old Hamas members, I suppose /s
The UNRWA curriculum doesn't include weapons training until age 6 according to the syllabus.
I just watched the video. He clearly says " Hamas and Palestine have been attacking Israel for 20 years". He is conflating Hamas and ordinary citizens and saying they all deserve to die. Why are you lying about what I just heard?
Are you transcribing the end of the video that I didn't include? We were talking about a specific part of the video so I transcribed that part and then stopped watching it. You sound like a troll
