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.

Taiwan, by contrast, has significantly increased its support for Israel. It was among the first countries to express solidarity after the October 7 attacks and has since donated over NIS 3 million ($900,000) to aid Israeli defense and civilian recovery efforts.

Which means many people will significantly decrease their support for the sovereignty of Taiwan. Taking the side of genociders is a strange move. Not sure what they are thinking, unless they are thinking they will do anything the US tells them to do. Still...gross.

Decrying Taiwan’s exclusion from global affairs while committing a holocaust against the indigenous Palestinian population. Settler colonialism at its finest.

When they have China regularly knocking on their door looking to give them the same fate? Unbelievable mindset.

That's a brutal thing to be tagged with these days.

Eh, as suprising as Cuba backing fascist Russia.

You don't have much choice if your significantly larger and more powerful neighbor constantly threatens to invade you.
