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!

What one reason in your opinion?
The reason is that centrists support genocide. It's the only policy they don't abandon when they encounter pressure.
I haven’t heard centrists support genocide. It’s however considered questionable if what’s happening can be considered a genocide. To many this is an awful war in a dense urban environment against deeply entrenched terrorists.
I don’t think there has ever been a genocide that the victims could end by freeing the hostages they hold captive.
Genocide apologia is disgusting and you should stop. 14 pages of dead Palestinian infants aren't "terrorists."
Civilians die in every war and of course that’s terrible.
The best numbers currently available are 40k dead total from which 15k are combatants. That’s less than 3 civilians per combatant. Urban warfare is historically much worse.
I don’t think the available information proves the war in Gaza is a genocide. It should stop regardless.
There is no proof that you will accept that the genocide in Gaza is a genocide. Do not pollute my inbox again with your apologia.
The only proof you showed is 14 dead children.
14 PAGES of dead INFANTS. Or as you call anyone who Netanyahu murders for you, "terrorists."

Here's something for you to not read, like you didn't read my comment about 14 pages of dead Palestinian infants the first time, and like you didn't read how I told you to not pollute my inbox with your disgusting genocide apologia again.
Then again, your opinions weren't reached by reading, it's why you're a genocide denier.
Look up the definition of genocide. Dead civilians are not sufficient to fit the definition.
If you don’t want replies, don’t comment on a public forum.

Let's not pretend that there is anything other than the complete slaughter of all Palestinians that will satisfy you. Or your definition of genocide.
I wrote that the war should end and you suggest I will only be satisfied if all Palestinians are killed. You are a deeply unserious person.
That is one way for the genocide to end.
Apparently the one you want.
I want the genocide to end now. You keep pretending it's not a genocide.
