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.

Best thing 5he Democrats can do to lose the election is get dragged into a war with Iran which it fights on Israels behalf.

Best thing Netanyahu can do is start this war now, so he can make sure either suceeding US administration is already sucked in and send American kids to die for him.

Right on the 2nd point.

On the 1st ... hope it's not true. The current GOP candidate is already saying Biden is being too hard on Israel and not helping them enough. So going with Dem is still the best way. That said, would likely benefit the Dems if somehow further escalations didn't happen or got delayed until after the election...

This is Israel admitting they can't defend themselves adequately and need their sugar daddy, America, to help out.

Israel will never accept that US is lyk a big brother to them in assisting during such wars... They will behave as if without US' much needed help, they are the same force to reckon with.
