Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

Based on the need for ancient history to claim a people, there's no Americans either. Does that mean we give everything back to the indigenous people? I hope so. Also even if they're Arabs as you say, that doesn't mean you can just murder them indiscriminately like this.
Yes, an American politician should be wary of making the argument that non-ancient roots in an area make their claim on their land default.
Honestly, I have trouble dealing with the irony that American politicians are pro-zionism becuase Jews used to hold the land a long time ago until they were outcast from their homelands aand forced to move far away, displacing Palestinian people that live tthere now in the process.... and then think that Native American sovereignty (let alone their claim to their historical lands that were stolen from them) are ridiculous and unfair to contemporary US citizens that live here now.
No it's okay we have nukes.
I'm trying to be satirical but I can't really think of another argument
Yes, because Israel definitely doesn't have nukes. That would be in violation of international non-proliferation agreements, and they have the utmost respect for international law.
No one respects international law like Uncle Sam and his buddies!
