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.

So?
Blinken and Biden have been lying this entire time, I don't think either one has admitted that they're openly supporting a genocide against US and international law yet
There is zero reason to believe anything the current admin says about Israel and their continuing genocide.
It's Netanyahu really. He prefers Trump, and will take any chance to make Biden eat shit publicly
I mean Biden is making sure to double down on his support for Israel whenever he has the chance to do so. He is pro genocide.
Trump is of course worse just for the record.
I don't think we're disagreeing on much here, but the issue of money in politics cannot be overlooked. For establishment US politicians, especially ones with long memories like Joe, supporting Israel is axiomatic. It's almost like Fouccault's boomerang as applied to political spending - we fund genocide because we helped to create a genocidal state, and some of that money gets funneled back to our leaders to ensure the well never runs dry.
Yeah actually I 100% agree on this.
I think he cares a lot more about maintaining his increasingly tenuous grip on power in Israel than what any US politician says or does.
True, but remember that Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel.
And Biden keeps playing into his hands.
Why do people keep saying that?
Putin owns trump and is allied with Israels neighbors...
Biden would start WW3 to protects Israel's ongoing genocide. trump would abandon them on a whim.
What do t you understand about that?
Why do you think there's people on social media insisting it has to be Joe but unable to give a reason? They have a reason, they just don't want to say it's Joe's unwavering support of Israel.
Did you miss the RNC chanting and cheering about how much they support Israel? Trump knows his base - he'd never turn against Israel or Netanyahu. There's a reason this exists.
So you think the one thing that can turn him from Putin and all of his blackmail and bribes is Israel?
Do you think that's because they have more blackmail/bribes on/for trump?
I just don't understand how someone could think trump would pick anything over putin, so what do you think would make him pick Israel instead?
I just don't think Putin really cares that much about Israel.
You haven't heard of the 5+1 treaty? Or you haven't heard about Israel attacking one of their members for months?
