Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Learn to read. I was in absolutely no way justifying genocide. But I live in the real world where the consequences of people's actions exist and not a Fantasyland where good always prevails and fighting the good fight wins in the end. The evil won and it's in no small part due to people not acknowledging the reality of the situation.
But hey, go sit happy on your soap box, it's not you and your family being exterminated. It's not mine or anyone else on these platforms. You know why? Cause Israel has blocked Palestinians from using the internet. These people are going to die in the dark and it's your fault.
I read what you wrote and responded to it. You are justifying support for genocidal politicians. People like you are the only reason this is happening. Of course you have some fucking excuse, of course you want to blame everyone but yourself. Of course your declaration of compromised morality is prefaced with "I live in the real world". No, you don't. You're a slave to your fears and manipulated by your rulers. You have no idea what accepting reality is like. The power of the people is beaten down into being dictated their political choices by their rulers, and your "solution" is to pick one of the two choices, instead of reclaiming that power. You have chosen subjugation with no vision on how to get out of it, with full knowledge of the mass murder that results.
The icing on the cake, weaponizing their genocide in a failed attempt to try to make me, what, feel bad? They're human beings, not a rhetorical object for you to win internet points. This is why I say it's so clear you don't care about them at all. If their lives and deaths actually had any meaning to you you would be finding any way to make their genocide STOP. But you quit before you even started.
Here, let me put it in meme speak so you'll get it. Your 🙏 only 🙏 concept 🙏 of 🙏 a 🙏 difference 🙏 is 🙏 based 🙏 entirely 🙏 on 🙏their 🙏rhetoric🙏and 🙏not 🙏their🙏actions. 🙏 You 🙏 cannot🙏perform🙏an 🙏impartial🙏analysis🙏of🙏politicians🙏based🙏only🙏on🙏their🙏rhetoric🙏because🙏they're🙏pathological🙏liars.
And did no one ever teach you better than throwing around the word "retarded"? JFC.
