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.

Syrians in Maariyah, in the western Daraa countryside, staged a protest against Israel’s continued invasion of Syrian lands on Friday.

The Israeli army, which recently set up a base in the town, reportedly fired at the protesters, injuring one of them.

Images posted by local Syrian social media accounts showed protesters carrying banners, which read: "Free, free Syria, Israel get out."

After quickly taking over the UN-mandated buffer zone, Israel expanded its operations to nearby countryside reaching as far as Qatana, 26 km from Damascus.

Why are there still countries supporting Israel?

No doubt they identify key decision makers, then blackmail and threaten them. They believe it's their right to do this shit. It's a national mental illness. Must be frustrating and dangerous for Israelis who don't support this.

Last I heard, Netanyahu had a 12% approval rating. There are a ton of Israelis that don't support this shit.

Don't get confused. The "anti-bibi" camp isn't anti Zionist. They might think he is a corrupt leader but they see nothing wrong with the war, the death-toll or the occupation. These subjects have a much higher approval rating.

Interesting. I hope he hangs.
