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.

Unless Joe Biden starts pressuring israel of course.
See, that's the key difference between us... I don't believe Bibi gives two shits what the US or Biden says. :)

I honestly think that Bibi knows if he tanks Biden then Trump will probably be better for his government. He has basically no incentive to be reasonable since nobody is willing to hold them accountable and he knows it's very unlikely Biden will be able to.
Bibi wants genocide and the land. Trump hates Muslims and would gladly join in the bombing.
I mean of course, trump is one of the ones that helped prop up Netanyahu during his declining popularity.
Biden is not tying any of his demands to funding.
We should have cut them loose ages ago.
I saw one estimate that cumulative, since 1948, we've sent them $300 Billion.
I don't care what Biden says. You don't care what he says. Nobody cares what Biden says.
Biden's words mean nothing. Only his actions matter.
So far Biden has done nothing but grovel for Netanyahu and try to give him as many bombs as possible. Biden has bypassed congress because israel needed those tank shells to commit Genocide with. Just a few days ago Biden once against used his UN veto's for israel.
Biden has all the power in the world to shut israel down. Netanyahu is powerless without Biden enabling his Genocide. Netanyahu is but a convenient scapegoat everyone points to blame.
Biden biden biden. Never blame toward congress, ANY other figure, always Biden Biden Biden. It's like you have an agenda
Bypassing Congress multiple times to provide weapons to Israel will do that.
lol did you think congress was against it? Israel is the largest recipient of military aid since WW2. We’ve consistently given them aid, regardless of the president. You’re painting it as a move that went against congress’ wishes when it was to avoid the typical congressional delays.
Your president doesn’t matter. It’s the country you live in. The US has never had a stance that’s opposed providing weapons and funding to Israel.
The country is to blame. Not this particular president. The president changes, but there is a massive apparatus that supports Israel. I don’t even think a pro Palestinian president could realistically stop it. It’s way, way bigger than just the president. Even if you had a pro Palestinian president, congress would need to change entirely as well. You guys can’t help but look at just what’s in front of your faces. You’re missing the forest for the trees.
Good call out. This shouldn't be a thing that is possible since Congress supposedly controls our budget and spending.
Because Biden is in charge.
Biden vetoes the ceasefires.
Biden bypasses congress to help israel commit Genocide.
Biden is the one who is responsible.
If it was Trump in charge it would be Trump Trump Trump. Tell me is Trump president right now?
