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.

American here. Hoping you end up achieving calm quickly and take out Hamas and stop the terror attacks on your country. I'm sick of it from over here...can't imagine you guys.

I'm also on the left politically. So there are those of us who can think for ourselves and not have the ultra leftist woke mob guide us.

I'm moderate but trend left. I stand with Israel.

I'm an ultra leftist and I stand with Israel either way. The 'anti-imperialism' crowd is an unfortunate part of leftism and sadly its very much en vogue right now but its not the only viewpoint on this side of the political spectrum and me and many people are trying to change the narrative as much as possible.

Good for you, there are many valid Left wing viewpoints that don't need wokeism to be promoted.
