General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

You are justifying me calling her hateful.
What I expect from a non-hatful person is to condemn by action, not by side. Adults can handle that complexity.
Everything Israel does in the West Bank is wrong. The 7th of October attack lead by Hamas from Gaza is wrong.
If you cheer for an act of evil, if it makes you feel joy, you are evil, you are hateful.
You're little "both sides did wrong" rhetoric is pretty hollow considering you belittled her views as simply being "a hateful retard". Any person who actually believed what you said you believe would have said something like "I don't think she should be saying she's proud of something like Oct 7th but she should be able to speak in defence of her people and condemn whats being doing to them". You don't call someone a hateful retard simply because she is happy that her people are finally fighting back from decades of oppression.
The people of Gaza were not fucked by Israel. They were fucked by history. Did Israel add to the fire? Yes, did it cause it? No.
Murdering random people in their house is not fighting for freedom.
Kicking Hamas out is fighting for freedom.
I'll call the same to a Jewish person that will show happiness to the current happening in Germany. Because I met such people, both "Palestinians" (that never lived there) and "German" Jews (that never lived there). Both had shallow world view that had just enough depth to spew hate. Not even one bit deeper.
I didn't call her a bitch, cus that word works only toward women, and that is wrong.
