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.

If that sub-human nazi scum is not being sentenced to death by its own government after what he's been doing, it means that the government is ok with what he does.

Sanctions should go against israhell as a whole, although at this point, I think sanctions are not enough. Israhell is a nazi country and well... we should treat them as we treated nazis until they understand that it's not a good thing to be a nazi.

But that would require doing things that people use to say "communism bad because gulags." What is more likely to happen is they'll be given a safe haven in somewhere like South America while giving them the top positions in rocket science and military intelligence, because that's how the West likes to deal with Nazi's and Nazi-lookalikes.

Civilized countries don't engage in death penalties. Not that I wouldn't appreaciate an exception here and there, but, ya know, just saying.

Um...Israel voted the death penalty by hanging for anyone they deem a terrorist. Gvir had a big hand in pushing that legislation forward...

They're not civilized at all...

Sorry, the wording seemed like you were saying, in general as an addendum to the prior comment, that countries shouldn't engage in the death penalty if they want to be civilized.

I know, but we're talking about israhell, not a civilized country.
