Would it be fair to me ask the same. Why does there need to be an argument on everything I post?

We now have a thread for NO DISCUSSION on the war. There are numerous posts in that thread. Only two posts out of them someone felt the need to comment on. You want to guess who's two post they were?

I agree with you that it does get annoying.

To be fair, the 2 comments you're talking about were not for discussion purposes, but to add context to the news that was posted. The first comment was that the news was almost a week old, not a new development, and the second was that the air drop was in coordination with the Israeli government, and not another country getting involved in the war.

Just so I have the rules down... if I respond to an article posted in the thread with a link to another article disputing or giving context to the first article, is that considered discussion, or breaking news?

“Paramedics rush to help 69-year-old Paul Kessler, who is Jewish, after being hit in the head and knocked to the ground by a counter protester at dueling pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrations.”

“The two sides gathered on opposite corners at Westlake Blvd and Thousand Oaks Blvd… Witnesses say members of the pro-Palestinian group came over to them and began antagonizing the [pro-Israel] group when it suddenly turned violent.”

A witness said: “They were both on an even ground, and they were yelling at each other, and then the man brought his megaphone up and hit Paul, and Paul went down.”

Any comment from you belongs moved to here. Any comment from a news article is fine there, EVEN if you quote the first article and then post the second. IMHO.

Long thread. Author is a very left wing journalist for Haaretz (almost more left wing than Bernie Sanders).

“Hamas' massacre was so barbaric, archeologists were needed to sift through the victims' ashes—and identify our people.

At least ten people were identified using archeological techniques with the help of the Israel Antiquities Authority.

These aren't just numbers, they were human beings.
Hamas' savagery cannot be quantified.”

Got it. So it can be like a meme war, just with links saying what you want to say, instead.

Why this former IDF soldier believes Israel is making ‘a catastrophic mistake’ in Gaza
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/why-this-former-idf-soldier-believes-israel-is-making-a-catastrophic-mistake-in-gaza/vi-AA1jxaIr?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LCTS&cvid=9ca2cd3219994ac994fea3ae1b5a6987&ei=9#details
So basically an Israeli has an opinion and MSN makes a fluff story with a fancy 'former IDF soldier' headline ::)
