I was convinced that picture was staged. The soldiers appeared to be having a good ole time. What a sad, sad thing that they really are having fun with guns pointed at a girl. Unfortunately, this is probably the norm now in all militaries, not just in Israel.

I hope now with NYT [certain] staff will revise their biased decision and move this out of hoax.

Such silliness...

I participated in an earthquake themed thread that was deemed a "hoax" and it was one of the best threads because there was no bickering back and forth and no trolls. It was quite informative...you may prefer this stay right where it's at

I know, but ATS standards have fallen.

Administration and owners' high ground fail that way, making any "demands" for userbase to follow some "make believe" rules weak and a double standard.

Almost as if they indirectly tell members to rightfully misbehave and boycott useless rules.

hourly visibility

I just want to find out if this is staged or not now...

Yes, me too.

I hope after some months of dust settled, some staff can be respectful, not ban me again and give an actual truthful response.

hourly visibility.

for some topics, like drugs the response is maximum of 10 minutes to bin a thread, but I sent a complaint 1 hour ago and silence.

The person doing these "hourly bumps" signed up with 29 accounts on ATS.

He is now banned again and his pet hoax thread is closed.
