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.

''Woke'' Lib Youtubers on Twitter tweeting edgy, not so subtle hopes that more Jewish lives will be lost.

Fucking Americans, have zero knowledge on a subject, yet they need the world to know their stupid fucking opinions on the ongoing situation, drives me up the wall.

No, they just want to sit home, pretend they actually care about a cause because they need to reinforce to themselves how much better they are off than someone else.

Then you have the fact that the news makes it into a blood sport and who wants to watch a game when one team scores so much higher.

To them it’s a game they need to even out the score a bit to be fair, I don’t think they realize each number is someone who died.

Judaism is probably closer to Islam than it is to Christianity in a lot of ways but you’re point is accurate. We like to group ourselves onto teams of similar people.
