Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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's all the rules!

Nearly two-thirds, or 63%, of poll respondents agreed that concerns about Iran’s nuclear program were best solved through diplomacy and sanctions; only 37% agreed they were best addressed with military action. Meanwhile, 58% of respondents agreed that U.S. military action against Iran weakens the U.S., rather than strengthening it.

As members of J Street’s leadership point out, the findings indicate that most Jewish Americans want peace.

“This data is a wake-up call for anyone claiming to speak for the American Jewish community while beating the drums of war,” J Street President Jeremy Ben-Ami said.

Notably, the poll also showed broad support among American Jews for conditioning aid to Israel, with 44% saying that weapons sales must comply with U.S. law and 26% saying the U.S. should cut off aid entirely.

oh no, "attacked"? How many actual casualties dead and wounded are we talking about here?

People are entitled to their political opinions whether you like them or not.

Tell me, do you support the existence of the state of Israel? And do not engage in dodging hyperbole and conflate the states existence with the Israelis lives-- we're not talking about killing people we are talking about the state and its basic laws/constitution. Israelis can be governed peacefully by another state, they just dont want to be.

Of those Jewish people "attacked" (you mean verbal attacks-- people simply disagree with them and so they screamed that they are being "attacked", like you just did) around the world, the vast vast vast vast vast majority of them support the existence of the state of israel, which has always been since before day 1, genocidal and ethnic cleansing. 80 solid years of it, whereas before that the Ottoman empire ruled the area with Jews and muslims in peace side by side for something like 800 years. There is no past or future concept of a non-genocidal non-expansionist israel, and Israel has been an epic terrorist shitshow since before it even started. To support the existence of israel is to support continued genocide, brutality, and war crimes-- and yet, global jewery overwhelmingly supports the existence of this openly terrorist entity.

zionists dont get to kick everyone out of their homes just because their holy book claims that land is all theirs. Its not theirs.

so again, tell us who you are, if you have a moral backbone: do you support the existence of the existence of the state of Israel?
