2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Israel.
I used to support Israel, until I heard about them executing children in Gaza.
Important reminder to everyone that Gaza is still under an illegal embargo than the UN called a crime against humanity back in 2020. Still no international observers allowed in. And they've just dropped some more bombs on Gaza earlier this week, killing a bunch of civilians, including a hospital bombed on November 13th where they killed 6
And keep in mind that according to Israel's own defence ministry, they were limiting the calories entering Gaza for many years to "keep Gaza's economy on the brink of collapse", while simultaneously openly funding Hamas
that has to do with MSMs never reporting israel in a bad light, its always Hamas did this to israel, or that. and then you realized most of the msm's politicians are practically captured by israel via epstein honeypots.
Same, to be fair I was more or less ignorant until Oct 7, then about Oct 8th I realized just how fucking awful israel is
and the sheer amount of propaganda(post-oct7 2023) they tried to forced through social media, MSMs, especially on reddit. if they dint tried so hard to do that, i think people would be blisfully ignorant. also they timed the attack in time for the election season to help trump win.
100%. I'm glad they did try so hard though because it allowed me, and many others to lift the veil
