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.

Just as a familiar refrain? It strikes me as basically half our GDP.
Nothing important to say but this is hilarious.
Absolutely.
But I was thinking more recent history. Like how the US is supplying advanced weaponry to Ukraine.
Pointing out such hypocrisy is my favorite passtime nowadays. And whether it's here, reddit. Twitter, etc. It always gets me downvotes. Kinda disappointing that so many people are still blinded by nationalism.
I feel you. I have that autism where I tend to jump in convos to correct facts and people take it as the biggest insult and assume it means I think exactly the opposite of everything they say. I've found it's easier for me to just lean into it since it's going to happen regardless, I may as well be the one dictating the terms.
What enemy nation are the Houthis at war with?
Israel. Which is clear if you've read even one of their announcements of the blockade.
And calling the leadership of Yemen Houthis is like calling any US person a Kennedy.
What does attacking cargo ships, flagged from Barbados, crewed by Filipinos, owned in Liberia, operated out of Greece, originating from China, and destined to Jeddah and Aqaba have to do with Israel?
'Owned in Liberia'
I like how you stuck that in the middle. Just trying to sneak it in a bunch of other stuff that is unquestionable.
You know that that isn't clever, right?
It's obvious what you are doing, and why.
I guess I shouldn't expect better from someone using the racist term 'Houthis' for the government of Yemen.
What's wrong with owning a ship in Liberia?
Gave an example where the Houthis attacked and killed people on a ship that had nothing to do with Israel.
When you cry racism about every thing is loses meaning.
Do you think most ships 'Owned in Liberia' are owned by Liberian citizens?
Who owned the ship? Don't insult my intelligence and say Liberia.
This isn't everything. It's an intentional racist term intended to delegitimize a government by equating it with a select group of people. There. You learned something today.
Or should I start calling every Israeli a Netanyahu, every American a Kennedy, and every British person a Starmer?
'The Kennedy's seized another oil tanker on international waters today claiming it contained Iranian oil'
Does that seem like an okay headline to you?
EDIT: Maybe you'd like being called a Kennedy. Maybe Bushie would be a better example for you.
I don't need to insult your intelligence you're more than capable. The ship was not owned by an Israeli or American company.
A group named after its founder is racists?
You can call it what ever you want, I'm not so hypersensitive that I cry racism about every little thing.
Are they carrying goods destined for Israel?
As in goods going to Jeddah would ultimately get shipped to Iseral? I have no idea if Saudi Arabia is being used as a pass through.
It is at least from the UAE passing through Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

Given that these news are half a year old and Saudis don't like to talk about it, but do the business, it is very much possible that goods go from Jeddah to Israel too.
