  • Hmm, I feel that divorcing Iran's proxies from Iran is more disingenuous (and I'm not lying about their relation). It's also not refuting the content of the posts, which again, clearly illustrate my point. Sorry, and thanks for the discussion!

  • Doesn't sound like exactly what you said, but I'll play along in whatever way you're interpreting this. Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran's statements and those made against Israel are typically taken at face value, and those who take issue are largely downvoted. Comments made by Israel or against Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran are met with nearly polar opposite reactions. Related, there seems to be a tendency to downplay criticism of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran with unsourced opinions and whataboutisms (particularly users attempting to frame others as supporters of genocide). Users downplay or are even willing to lie about what was said in order to garner sympathy for Iran and criticize Israel or the IDF (even when the reporting is corroborated by other reliable sources). Even comments attempting to claim both parties involved are bad are downvoted (for example, most discussions regarding human shields). Articles critical of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran are outright called propaganda. A short list to demonstrate my points:

    There's more but I have actual work to do.

    So take "no problem" however you want, my points stand in a variety of interpretations. Going through my comment history also illuminates much of what I have a problem with here, that being critical of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran is met with accusations of supporting genocide (if it weren't for the fact that this is considered uncivil and the comments get removed, I could source those, but check the mod logs if you don't believe me). I also take issue with the Middle East Monitor, New Arab, and Al Jazeera being paraded around as though they're legitimate news sources, while highly reliable Israeli publications are questioned, which objectively supports my points too.

    Edit: I'll also cite this post too in the list :) who wants to bet there's some small detail that would disqualify these posts as they pertain to my assessment? Despite all these things being quotable throughout the list?
