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.

I was responding to Zionist propaganda, you're the one who decided to jump in and take the bullet. Ask yourself why you do this, and if you doubt information, maybe consider looking it up yourself, search engines are mostly free. Instead of publicly asking "how could we know", you could do that yourself and get informed.

Oh, there it is. You get to make any claim you want then blame others for not verifying it for you.

Nah man. That might work in your neck of the woods, but that shit doesn't fly around people with brains.

And no, I didn't "take the bullet." I rightfully scrutinized where you were getting your information, and your "with us or against us" attitude made you think that I was somehow fighting for Israel.

You don't know how indoctrinated you are and you need to work on learning from it.

I'm going to ignore you now because people like you have to constantly respond to save face, no matter what. You're probably going to respond with more asinine bullshit to make it seem like I'm defending Israel or being unfair to Iran, but you should know that you're wrong even if I don't keep replying to tell you.

Good luck in life. You're going to need it.
