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.

Okay, but I see many people here justifying the masacre in Gaza committed by Israel: that makes me think that it would be also fine for me to say that I hope that will happen in Israel what is now happening in Gaza. As far as logic goes, justifying the masacre now is also advocating violence. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a little different, the removed comment was wishing for Israel what happened to Nazi Germany, so the complete destruction and eradication of the state of Israel.

If someone were advicating for the elimination of Palestine or the complete destruction of Gaza and the West Bank, I'd remove those comments as well.

BUUUT, that being said, I do have a life and don't have time to comb through comments one by one. :) So as mods we rely on reports before taking action. This comment was reported, others may not have been.

My good friend, what are you talking about? What eradication? Last time I've checked Germany was still there, and the germans too. I understand you can't read every comment but when you do give it more than a second of consideration. What happened in Germany was eradication of Nazism, not of the country.

not of the country.

The country was split into 4ths.

It was reconstituted years later. The country was destroyed first.

So help me out here: are you trying to convince me that Germany went through genocide and ethnic cleansing? Because I think people in Germany would deserve to know about it.
