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.

“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

So, I pretty clearly said:

“I’m done with this discussion.”

Now… for my own edification, could you point to what part of that you’re having difficulty understanding? I’d like to know for future reference how to be more clear to people that wish to rewrite my statements and simultaneously think I won’t notice

It’s insulting.

I suppose my difficulty is in understanding why you're still replying and/or not blocking me. You have no obligation to reply, I am not obliged to ignore yours because you've said you're done. I still have yet to have a meaningful answer from you, so I continue to ask; if not freely given by America, how would Israel get hundreds of billions of dollars in bombs?

Aah.. so it seems you lack the responsibly for your own actions to the point where you just ignore the impulse to continue a discussion when people tell you they’re done, thereby making the onus entirely on them to shut you up?

It’s good to know that I was right in my assumption that you appear to lack the maturity to continue this conversation.

I generally don’t like blocking people because I think it’s a pretty immature response to what should be a mature discussion between two adults, but I’m going to make an exception in your case.

You know… since you asked.

Insulting me won't change what the US does and it seems like you still struggle with the actual question. How do you justify the US continuing to send bombs to Israel to enact a genocide?
