World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

In this case, it doesn't really matter.
Kamala is an Israeli puppet as well.
You're fucking delusional if you think she would have just randomly bombed Iran too
There's nothing random about it.
How so?
Biden and Harris went along with child genocide and a state-engineered famine. They would 100% bomb Iran if Benny told them to.
No they didn't. They still supported Israel, but they were making statements about tempering Israel's approach. As Israel got worse and worse under trump's encouragement, I'm pretty sure a democrat (or anyone sane) would have pushed back a lot more on Israel. Not enough, probably. But better is better.
Actions speak louder than words.
Absolutely. But diplomacy starts with words and it sometimes works. We don't know what would have happened next if trump hadn't fucked everything ten times over. We know trump actively encouraged the genocide, so it's a significant difference.
LOL, they made statements about Israel's approach for four years... but supported every single thing those murderers did. Their words are meaningless because when Benny tells them to jump, they jump.
And when Benny told them to bomb Iran, they'd have done it.
Obviously, you can't know that, so you are just making things up to fit your world view. But whatever, if you're happy with the destruction trump allowed on Gaza, I can't help you. Good luck.
I love how Democrats suddenly pretend to care about these things once leadership changes.
All I heard from you for four years were excuses for genocide.
I haven't seen anything like the current actions before in Israel. Previous to the Oct attack response, the only significant calls for genocide in the area came from Muslims. Israel treated people in Gaza terribly, and illegally kept expanding their settlements. But it was nothing like any conventional use of the word 'genocide' would be. Things changes throughout '24, but it was a slow transition and with all the lies on both sides, it wasn't clear until the end of December how much Isreal had gone off the deep end. And then trump came into power and encouraged them and it got significantly worse. So I'm not sure where your 'years of excuses' comes from because it doesn't fit the actual timeline.
Yes but Kamala surely would have stood up to her employer and demanded they stop using the US government to kill Arabs! Trust me, bro, please!
