Please correct this

The issue is there was no content in that post besides an expression of enjoyment to see a random individual of the "enemy" being graphically killed, which was meant to be inflammatory, and I can assure you posts of that nature will be moderated regardless of which "side" posts it. If the best thing you see all day on your feed is someone shot in the head and you feel the need to say that here, you need a break.

If you'd like to discuss this in greater detail, feel free to PM me.

Vic should have his own rules maybe or treated the same as everyone else

It’s possible Vic is able to violate the rules without “violating the rules” so maybe he needs his own set of unbreakable rules

content eh?

well we got Joe Biden doing blood libel again.

will the mainstream media say anything about this heinous lie?

being slightly serious, I remember how much the media created an entire industry out of whining about Trump's lies. this is worse than anything Trump ever said.

How does the "mainstream media" or anyone know that what Biden said was a lie?

I have no idea if it is the truth or not, but it's awfully tough to prove he didn't see such a photo.

Idf found weapons in another UNRWA facility. Can UNRWA be charged with war crimes?

Idf claims it killed terrorist Zaher Huli (also known as "Abu Hamed"), who held roles in Hamas's military wing and the Hamas Police in central Gaza

A Palestinian Islamic Jihad tactical-level commander was also eliminated in an aerial strike in the eastern Rafah area with three other terrorists from the organization who engaged in close combat with IDF soldiers, the IDF later announced.

It is very much both sides in this case. The ICC's chief prosecutor is applying for warrants against three Hamas leaders and Netanyahu, on the charges specified. A bit unfortunately for Victor's usual line of argument, the prosecutor is convinced that rape and sexual violence were in fact committed by Hamas on Oct 7, along with hostage-taking, murder and all the rest of it. Meanwhile the prosecutor would like a word with Netanyahu over extermination tactics and the use of starvation as a weapon, among other issues.

We don't yet know, of course, whether the court will agree to issue the warrants.

It was a very old American helicopter, basically a Huey, and one former Iranian foreign minister has tried blaming the US for its spare-parts embargo on pre-revolutionary US aircraft operated by Iran. Although a catastrophic technical failure is possible, the weather conditions and terrain suggest that the pilot simply flew blind into a mountain in fog. Several observers have pointed out that Iran's ruling elite are extremely stupid, uneducated and over-entitled men (and I do mean men), easily capable of ordering and expecting a pilot to fly in conditions where it really wasn't advisable.
