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!

That's because you're getting your media from actually full of shit sources. Everything that goes into Gaza is because Israel lets it in. They built two or three new desalinization plants since the war started. "Oh but isn't Israel purposely destroying water infrastructure to make people die of thirst?" No. That would be genocidal. What they have done is blow up tunnel shafts where Hamas hides out, and it's Hamas that tied those systems into anything resembling a public water supply.
Israel, aside from a few weeks recently, has been letting in between hundreds and thousands of trucks of food and medicine per week.
The US floods in money to Israel for two reasons, one of which is not legitimate. The main reason, and the one that's legit, is because contrary to what absolute donkeys on the internet say, Israel is a democracy surrounded by hostile religious dictatships. The west cannot allow it to fall for ideological reasons, for reasons of global hedgemony. It's like how French General Lafayette dropped everything to come help America fight the British. He said "The happiness of America is intimately connected with the happiness of all mankind." He recognized what democracy could mean for the world; democracy is a radical idea. It needs to be protected from hostile dictatorships who think liberal ideas such as voting are blasphemous to the word of God and a capital offense. They are insane.
The illegitimate reason is some mystical Bible nonsense about the return of Christ only taking place once Jews inhabit the holy land. Also insane.

But... @[email protected], this is stuff only COGAT says but every other human rights organization has contested it and provided evidence of otherwise... do you think it's a good idea to get your sources from only one organization? And what about all the other organizations that discredit COGAT's claims (like the UN, doctors without borders, the red cross, the red crescent, etc...)? Is there something that makes you think they are all lying, or?
Holy gaslighting propaganda Batman.
Did these desalination plants help any of the 700+ people that died since Israel broke the ceasefire a couple of days ago?
