The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

If you find thousands dead to be casual, that's on you. The IDF sure does if they're Palestinian or Lebanese.
Hamas was willing to do a full hostage exchange since Oct 8th. Israel has rejected any permanent ceasefire, that would release all the hostages, in favor of genocide. So maybe ask the Israeli Government that question instead.
I'm not pushing Al Jazeera's pretty graphical scoreboards here. I'm not the one presenting death in a casual manner.
No, the onus is not on Israel for this. Hamas massacred villages (genocide) and took civilians hostage, which is a war crime. They continue to hold hostages, so they're continuing in their war crimes every day.
It's obvious they're only holding the hostages now to prolong this so that Al Jazeera can make pretty graphics on the suffering of Palestinians so they can get more donation money. It seems you're content to be a part of this sick grift Hamas has made by monetizing the suffering of Palestinians.
It's obvious now they aren't going to win anything other than the propganda war. But Israel obviously doesn't give a shit about the propaganda, and they're winning on every other front. So why continue the propaganda? Do you want this to drag on longer so more people will die?
Hamas did commit war crimes on Oct 7, not genocide. Nor does this kind of violence come out of nowhere. When people are subjected to the daily violence of Apartheid for generations, they will inevitably use violence to fight back. The underlying cause of all this violence stems from Zionism (Ethnic Cleansing, Settler Colonialism, Apartheid), and the only way to end the violence to to end the underlying cause.

In the Shadow of the Holocaust by Masha Gessen, the situation in Gaza is compared to the Warsaw Ghettos. The comparison was also made by a Palestinian poet who was later killed by an Israeli airstrike. Adi Callai, an Israeli, has also written on the parallels in his article The Gaza Ghetto Uprising and expanded upon in his corresponding video
