A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Continuing to give the genocider everything he wanted wasn't going to get him to actually listen to anything you said.
The dangers of trusting a Zionist. Genociding Bibi should never have been given the benefit of the doubt. And in the end, Bibi won by having his favorite outcome on 2024-11-05 realized.
Benefit of the doubt?
Biden and his people had more than a year to figure it out during war crimes/genocide and all the decades before it.
They wanted this. They were merely occupied with the optics of it. Murdering brown people generally has bipartisan support in the US.
Bibi won by having his favorite outcome on 2024-11-05 realized.
I doubt Bibi cared much either way. I mean Trump likely was preferable to Harris, but even with Harris it's not like he'd have faced real pressure to stop the genocide.
The dangers of trusting a Zionist.
Are you not aware that genocide joe is a huge zionist? In fact the vast majority of zionists are christian. Likewise Saudi Arabia has always been closely allied with zionism. None of these creeps are trustable.
Yes, Netenyahus arse was borderline bruised from the tongue "lashing" Biden gave him on a daily basis. And the dems shutting any progressive or muslim voice out of the party, and not allowing anyone of Palestinian descent into the convention was so brave of Biden. A profile of courage.
Biden ... Netanyahu ... Saudi
What do people expect with this disgusting collection of genocidal sleaze?
I said the same thing about Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi negotiating a ceasefire and $50 billion dollar Gaza reconstruction plan as if any of those country governments would spend even a cent on the Palestinians.
Edit: which they did without representation from Gaza
Yeah well, drop site news came out with a report from the Israelis saying that the Biden administration didn't pressure them once.
Would have just used their article but mods here say its banned because its hosted on substack.
So glad they worked so hard in office to actually prevent the genocide

Agreed.
It always warms my heart to hear how hard it was for Democrats to actually wield power when they had it, especially when Trump is giving a master class on the possibilities. It reminds me of all those times they asked us to empathize with how hard it is to legislate, conveniently, whenever we asked them to do something about the widespread impoverishment of people and the increasing cost-prohibitive pricing of food staples.
They always, always lean on excuses.
Yeah when was the last time you heard the excuse that "we just have to keep arming Israel because of geopolitical alliances?" They sure dropped that one quickly before morphing into blaming individuals for not further supporting it at the ballot box. No criticism for the 15 months of this under Biden. No criticism of the actual fucking Democratic candidates who chose to support this in their campaigns leading up to their entirely predictable losses.
It's just excuse and scapegoat after excuse and scapegoat while they let the world burn around them because it's good for their polling numbers in the next election.
Ew. This thread is filled with tankie trash. Blocked.
