Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. 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. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
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.

What pretending to do something look like.
Oh those 4 people are going to regret not being able to . . . use US financial institutions. That'll stop the atrocities.
What more do you want Dark Brandon to do?
Perfection is the enemy of good. At this point is there anything Biden could do that'd make you happy?
Perfection?! Are you serious??
Stop arming the nazis that are behind the settlers, that would make me happy sir. This is like shoot you in the face and then ask you if you need a doctor.
Maybe stop supporting Israel in this war? Maybe use the vast amounts of soft power to swing the US dick around to stop a genocide? What the hell are you even saying, this is a token response that won't matter at all. This isn't "good"
What would you have him do?
Support a UN resolution to stop the Israeli attacks.
That’s not going to happen until is Hamas is destroyed. They fucked around knowing damn well how Israel would respond. Both have blood on their hands. All that Biden can do is urge them to not indiscriminately bomb areas with civilians. Hamas has been terrorizing Israel for decades. They’re not stopping until it’s over.
Everyone including the US government knows that Hamas will survive this assault. It's not about Hamas, it never was. Hamas simply provided Israel with the excuse to carry out an ethnic cleansing that they've been wanting to do for decades.
Especially since every Israeli act of genocide just radicalizes more Palestinians. Israel is literally making more Hamas even as they ostensibly try to destroy it.
That’s not true. It was Arafat who refused peace terms in the late 90s. You’re looking at this like it’s black and white.
You mean after the Israeli PM that brokered the deal was assassinated a staunch opponent of the deal, Netanyahu, took power and refused to follow through with the part of the agreement where they pull their illegal settlements out of the West Bank that the Palestinians are the ones who refused peace there?
You don’t get to wipe your ass with an agreement then whine when the other party abandons it. Much like their propping up of Hamas, Netanyahu’s coalition has shown time and time again that good faith negotiations is not what they’re interested in.
Yeah I can agree with that. I hate Netanyahu. I don’t plan on defending him but Hamas raping and killing people would have exactly one type of reaction, and it’s the reaction they wanted. It wasn’t about protecting Gaza. They knew that their attack would destroy it. It was about Iran wanting to maximize chaos around the world. Not all Israeli people like Netanyahu. His approval ratings have never been lower. Of course, those that do approve of him would love to commit genocide upon the Palestinians, but those approval ratings are in single digits now.
The invasion of Gaza will be temporary, and it’s anything more, Israel will be doing it alone with no external support.
doesn't look like it
Why are you bringing out Arafat in the 90s? Your comment lacks relevance to what you're replying to. Arafat has nothing to do with the fact that Israel wants Palestinians to leave Gaza.
Yea I think Israel knew what would happen when they armed hamas
And it's evident the're not going to stop until they've murdered all the civilians and their "settlers" (war criminals) have populated the region.
Hamas today is as strong as ever, like every with some brain always knew.
This is not Hamas, is about genocide Palestinians and stealig their land.
That is certainly an opinion, yes.
He could stop bypassing congress to make emergency weapons sales to Israel.
While telling us he can't provide them to Ukraine, who if Russia wins will be genocided as well.
Not sending weapons to the nazis in Israel commiting genocide. Simple as that.
Stop the genocide in Sudan
