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.

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

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.
