Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

I mostly object to the absurd overemphasis on them. It is like fixating on litter whilst one's house is on fire - and is severely lacking in big picture thinking.
Those charges are kind of vague too. Corruption for example. Israel scores less corrupt than Italy by the reckoning of one prominent watchdog.

Who runs the " prominent watchdog" and why is America sending Israel billions of dollars?

For the same reason Egypt is given billions of dollars. To ensure stability. Egypt is bought off and prevented from assembling another Arab war coalition against Israel - and Israel is given the means to have enough of a military edge to deter another war. Foreign aid was given to both of them in light of the Arab oil embargo which hurt our economy and resulted from us intervening to save Israel during an Arab war.
The watchdog is Transparency International. Dunno who runs them but they are funded in part by Soros, a critic of Israel. They also rate Israel more corrupt than basically all of Northern Europe.
