Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
 
  • Occupied West Bank faces economic standstill due to Israel-ordered shutdowns and settler attacks.
  • Daily income of drivers drops significantly; travel between cities and villages is now dangerous.
  • Increased army restrictions and Israeli settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank have worsened the already fragile economic situation.
  • Sales in stores drop by 50%; closures affect all sectors, from transportation to retail.
  • Palestinian Authority's Ministry of National Economy predicts long-lasting negative effects on the Palestinian economy due to the war and intensified closures.

Media Bias Fact Check (Al Jazeera):

Overall, we rate Al Jazeera Left-Center biased, based on story selection that slightly favors the left, and Mixed for factual reporting due to failed fact checks that were not corrected and misleading extreme editorial bias that favors Qatar.

Note that most of the building industry in Israel consists of Palestinian workers, and the current events froze all building projects, amid fears of terrorist groups sneaking into cities - thus negatively affecting these families income.
