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.

They can't request something like this for Ukraine?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Instead the house deadlocks funding to Ukraine because their handler doesn't like it

It is simply more acceptable to publicly support Ukraine. I have nothing against them protecting themselves but Ukraine and Israel are two different situations.

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Yes. Ukraine is having its land stolen and Israel is....

If they could do this for Ukraine, then Ukraine could use American weapons to strike into Russian territory.

You're right though, the situations are very different. Israel doesn't need outside support to commit genocide.

I have nothing against them protecting themselves

Translation: You have nothing against their revenge*

also more risky to more directly oppose Russia.
