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.

It omits why the U.S. vetoed it, which is that no one was willing to condemn Hamas or address how a cease fire would only encourage Hamas to carry out more attacks against Israel because they have shown no desire to end their attacks. No one has presented any support to find and stop Hamas attacks, only for Israel to end their attacks.

So a cease fire would only last as long as the next Hamas attack.

Edit: downvoted for sharing the U.S. side. Interesting. Anyone have a solution for stopping Hamas let alone actually condemning them in a movee to stop Israel's attacks?

Well one idea would be to stop occupying Palestine. You know, their one wish list item they've had for their entire 40 years of existence.

What you are saying is the US vetoed it because they accept the false dichotomy in the Israeli narrative of the situation.

Oh no is this poor bot being antisemetic? :(

[–] loki_d20@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just missing context, which is important and why we shouldn't rely on bots for getting all the news that matters.

Yeah, I would agree if this comment had REALLY been about the bot's performance. Instead it turns into ass kissing Israel.
