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.

As an American citizen who isn't a shit eating MAGAt traitor, I literally fucking pray for the day that Ukraine sends/activates a few hundred sleeper cells in the US that obliterate Republican leadership, as well as the Russian/Israeli agents that own them. Then you can have all the patriots you want.
Literally, 500 well trained individuals with drone and militia support could absolutely storm and overwhelm the Whitehouse. Do it in winter after a snowfall and have your team setup a covert LORA network for drone control that you didn't activate until go time. Start a show mass shooting across town, get everyone you can to respond, then start hitting the WH with incendiary drones to flush out the workers and drive the presidents security detail into defense mode. Then send ground troops. Capture of practical, if not, burn them alive.
Mar a lago would be an even softer target. Just launch drones from a naval drone using as much Israeli tech as you can.
Israel has the real compromat on Trump. False flag that shit so the obedient remaining lackeys lash out against Americans real enemy while Ukraine destroys Russia
This is a real contender for "stupidest comment I've read this month."
Yeah because second war would definitely help Ukraine.
I support ukraine right to defend itself but Zelensky is a zionist
What is your evidence that Zelenskyy is a zionist? Because to me I think the situation is more akin to: Zelenskyy will do whatever it takes to win his home, and if that means letting Israel be a thorn in the side of Iran who was at least at one point Russia's arms supplier (not so much these days), then he's all for it. I doubt he gives much thought at all to the notion of the Israel-Palestine conflict. After all, he kind of has bigger issues at the home front.
He could have simply not talked about Israel at all instead of saying that he want Ukraine to be a big Israel, comparing Hamas to Russia when Israel is Russia since both are colonial powers and having the israeli prime minister Golda Meir as a Role Model maintaining colonization of Palestine as a a role model and withdrawing from the UN Committee on Palestinian Rights
This is what Golda Meir said
Where did I heard a similar statement? Oh yeah Putin talking about how Ukrainians do not exists.
In 1972, her government authorized the military to use planes to spray toxic chemical defoliants onto the crops of Palestinian farmers in the West Bank village of Aqraba. This intentionally destroyed their harvest and livelihoods, forcing them off the land so the illegal Jewish settlement of Gitit could be constructed in their place.
You know why Iran is an ally to Russia? It is because the whole west is suffocating it with devastating sanctions since the revolution. Isn't it weird that the west is negotiating with Iran about an non existent nuclear threat yet nothing to remove sanctions on them in exchange of Iran distancing themselves from Russia?
Hot take around here but that was in the recent aftermath of October 7th which was -- by all accounts -- fucking horrendous. Date the remarks of Zelenskyy and you'll find he has increasingly distanced himself as time went on and the scale of the atrocities levied in response by Israel following October 7th were made clear. At the time though, yes it was apt to equate Hamas and Russian terrorist attacks against civilians. 100%.
Pretty obvious that he was riding off the coattails to draw similarities of public outcries of support to Israel and express something akin to, "yeah, welcome to the club we've been in the same boat over here."
I stand by what I said that he kind of has bigger issues at the home front and this is in no way shape or form evidence of him being a staunch Zionist.
As much as 7 of october was horrendous. 78 years of oppression by israel it did all crimes hamas did and more was even more horrendous yet Zelensky shamelesly praise a terrorist state similar to russia and said .
Ukraine and palestine is in the same boat, not Israel and Ukraine. Russia and israel are the settler colonial powers. Palestine and Ukraine are the occupied and colonized
The praise of the ancient israeli prime minister was also before 7 of october.
Like I said he did not have to say anything all and focus on fighting Russia instead.
You're overthinking this. It doesn't matter what you and I or even Zelenskyy believed then or now about Israel; the only thing that mattered at the time was that global public sentiment was clearly behind Israel and that the acute footage of October 7 was horrifying and galvanizing for much of the international community in support of Israel. Zelenskyy would be a fool to not use that to drive a thorn in Iran's side by hammering one of its proxies and forcing Iran -- the nation supplying bombs to Russia to kill his own people -- to withhold weapons stockpiles for its own defense. Welcome to the geopolitical chess-play of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Zelenskyy is not a Zionist.
Fuck that. Stop making dumb excuses. Zelensky praise of Israel started before Russia invaded Ukraine and before 7 of October. The fact that you minimize the suffering of Palestinians for 78 goddamn year is disgusting. Israel murdered directly more Palestinians yearly on average for 78 goddamn year than Hamas murdered during the 7 of October. Every single goddamn atrocities Hamas did on 7 of October Israel did to Palestinians .The international community agree that Israel should end occupation right now
Zelensky is a fool to think Iran will fall. Iran will be forced to deepen even more it's relation to Russia , the complete opposite of what it need to be done. Before of that dumb war Israel and the USA started. Sanctions on Russian always was eased up , defense weapons dedicated to Ukraine was redirected to protect the terrorist state of Israel. Zelensky and you are fools . Do you realize that Israel has good relation with Russia despite not needing it? Ukraine do not even depend that much on Israel weapons
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel%E2%80%93Russia_relations
All I'm seeing in this is someone dancing around their true position that is, "Two wrongs somehow make a right and I condone the Hamas terrorist attack and brutal murder of children because of other wrongs."
Please, put your disdain for Israel aside for just a brief fucking moment and actually look at the individual civilians acutely affected. The sooner you act like a humanist independent of borders, the better off you will be.
I'm done with this fucked up conversation.
