Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Wow what a revelation. A country who just had a bunch of their leaders killed by Trump wants to return the favor. Really good intelligence there

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Dipshit anglos, especially the lanyard class believe war is a one way street, I bomb you, I assassinate you, you sit there and take it.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

Well of course, that's how International Law works!

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

To be honest there hasn't been any indication that Iran wants to do any decapitation attacks. They probably know that it won't solve their problem since bombing the arab world is a bipartisan policy and would instead be used to justify even more attacks.

They know how much of the country would cheer if everyone in congress and the white house died immediately and they're not about to do any favors for their enemies

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They only benefit to getting rid of Trump would be the propaganda coup, you have to think even JD would be slighlty more competent

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Idk I think it would affect the ability for republicans to get shit done without pissing off their own voters. Trump is like he got that maxxed out Reagan white boy magic where he could literally punch a chud in the dick and grope his partner and the guy would say thank you mister PRESIDENT rat-salute-2

I just don't think Vance has the sauce in him

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

No, it's just a lie to keep Trump in line while they escalate the war again.

must have been the wind

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

huh, curious 🤔

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It will serve Israel's interest for Trump to be "assasinated by Iran", so even if Iran is not able to do the deed, I'm sure Mossad will be on the job. Part of the JFK assassination theories is that Israel was part of it, so it might not be their first time taking out a POTUS.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

George Bush was working for Israel?

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Actually he did a blood sacrifice and transmogrified himself into Srulik, the poorly drawn political cartoon that is the anthropomorphized national representation of Israel.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

smh getting Srulikmogged by bush

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Is that the greedy merchant guy?

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, I would not reference antisemitic tropes like that with this level of flippancy, I'm Jewish and I find that shit appalling.

Srulik is the above weird character you sometimes see on Israeli shit, the US equivalent was Miss Columbia but she's largely been replaced by images of the Statue of Liberty.

It's extremely American that the only modern representation of Miss Columbia is in the corporate logo for Columbia Pictures.

Sooo ... everyone is on board with this?

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So Israel is definitely going to assassinate Trump and frame Iran, right

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

God willing

[–] hotspur@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Is this a new round of allegations about assasinatuon? Because I thought there was already a round or reporting that bibi used this to get trump to do the thing in the first place back in January and February?

[–] Nopeace@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Don't threaten me with a good time

But also

I'll believe it when I see it

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

Oh it couldn't be possibly that the country that stands to lose the most from the US and Iran coming to some kind of deal are feeding false intelligence to sabotage it, right?

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 6 points 1 week ago

No shit Sherlock.
