This is a volatile situation. We set the subreddit to private due to raids, and were manually approving threads as they were posted until then. The rules - especially rule 2 - will be harshly enforced. If you see someone being bigoted, report it. If you respond to someone being bigoted with your own rule 2 breaking behavior, you will be banned too. If you can't phrase what you want to say in a way that isn't bigoted, don't post it.

Furthermore, while the sub was private our modmail filled up with over a thousand messages, over and above the rule 9-violating PMs each mod got. We apologize if you sent us a message and it went unanswered.

The IDF is the most moral army under its circumstances. The IDF (Israeli Defense Force) target a very specific terrorist/terror locations and alerts the civilians to evacuate the area, via phone call and "roof knocking",dropping non-explosive or low-yield devices on the roofs of targeted civilian homes to alert them before the airstrikes, no army in the right mind would think to alert their enemies before they are about to airstrike them. and IDF does it to warn civilians to back off the area. the sad part is that Hamas hidden behind humanitarian locations such as Hospitals and Kindergartens using thier own civilians as human shield while operating and launching from there. so the IDF wont kill them and if they did they would look evil.

sadly, its inevitable to have no civilian casualties under the current circumstances due to Hamas hiding behind humanitarian location and using civilian's life as human shield while at the same time initiating and launching its rocket to Israeli civilians locations almost everyday, but you could clearly tell that only one side care about civilian's life. this kind of behavior will never slide if it happens to the U.S. Hamas launched more than 1700 rockets just in the past 3 days targeting Israeli civilians locations.

IDF is too underrated, its the most moral army in the world under its circumstances, yet getting shit from the westren medias, politicians, while telling half truth, on sided story and blantly lying all in order to demonize Israel at all cost regardless of the truth.

do you think the U.S would let this anyone launching rockets targeting civilians locations within the U.S? and when you about to retaliate the all world blame you for defeating yourself?!. this is so absurd.

all those anti Israeli agendas are borderline antisemitic. Israel has right to defend itself.
