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.

The current government has cancelled four elections in a row because literally anyone else would easily win...
And the period before Bibi was six years of political upheaval.
Blaming all of Israel for Bibi is like blaming all of America for trump.
Even if those countries were actually fair democracies that doesn't mean everyone agrees with their government
On the other hand the responses of Israelis in opinion polls are not encouraging. From last July:
https://en.idi.org.il/articles/60357
Any time an opinion survey gives 4 options with no neutral answer and then lumps the responses into two categories...
A little alarm bell should go off in your head.
There's also the last part of that section:
And now we're getting I to how Bibi's repeated cancelation of elections and open immigration for hard right e tremists and virtually no one else to juice those numbers.
I couldn't find a link to the poll, but it could be the vast majority of that 79% are effected by the standard psychological effects of how that survey was set up that anyone that stumbled past a grad level statistical analysis lecture in a drunken stupor would notice....
In fact, that set off so many of my alarm bells, I took two seconds to click the "about" section, see the guy running it also runs Home Depot, rembered how pro-Israel they are and even found you a source....

You fell for propaganda...
They're intentionally doing surveys that overstate Bibi's support bro.
You think you're hurting them, but you're doing what Israel wants right now, you're spreading their propaganda unintentionally...
Hey thanks for doing that critical investigation. Although I posted propaganda and that wasn't smart of me, It's good to know those numbers are likely a misrepresentation and Israelis may not be as thoroughly extreme as that report makes them look.
