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. 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.

MODERATORS
She's literally Israeli. I'd call it more than just a single issue for her.
This is the modern day equivalent of Western Expansion for genocidal Americans during the 19th century. You're talking about a host of issues - Zionist white nationalism, Lebensraum, oil field development, and war time economics - bundled into a discrete set of buzzwords. There's so much ideology and so much money packed into the idea of a Greater Israel spilling like bucket of spoiled milk across the Levant.
This is manifest destiny for neoconservatives. Its at the center of the Project for the New American Century. Israel is the beating heart of American Imperialism. Its the fulcrum by which Washington and Wall Street hope to turn the world.
She could get that for free from Biden, but why buy just one side in a two party system?
Yes, the one that has said for 50 years he will always support Israel no matter what...
Like,remember when he had that falsified report claiming no evidence American weapons had been used in the genocide?
He said that was why he could keep providing munitions...
Then there was an indisputable evidence of American munitions used in Raffah...
And he's done...
What exactly?
Besides continuing to break US and international law by providing munitions used in a genocide.
Biden can draw asany lines as he wants, Bibi seems to enjoy leaping over them immediately. And it's not like Biden has anything else he could be doing.
Edit:
Did you even read that two sentence article?
It doesn't really provide any info, so not sure why you're linking it.
But Biden's "deal" is literally what Israel wants, it's not even a permanent deal...
And Hamas isn't accepting that, they accepted a deal that leads to a permanent ceasefire, not a 6 week pause.
That's what Biden is pushing, Hamas gives up everything, and Israel tries to avoid killing civilians for a month and a half.
Did you read about the Trump peace deal (organized via his kids!), which would require only Palestinians to make concessions, giving up land, giving up freedoms, being subject Israel's security forces, giving them no rights, and which gave all power to Israel (and which obviously fell through)?
Biden applies political pressure on Netanyahu to push for ceasefire:
Trump plans to pressure Palestinians:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_peace_plan
The plan proposed a series of Palestinian enclaves surrounded by an enlarged Israel,
Netanyahu announced that the Israeli government would immediately annex the Jordan Valley and West Bank settlements while committing not to create new settlements in areas left to the Palestinians for at least four years. U.S. Ambassador to Israel David M. Friedman claimed that the Trump administration had given permission for an immediate annexation, stating that "Israel does not have to wait at all"
The plan itself places no conditions on Israel with regard to proposals to "annex parts of the West Bank".[8]
The plan puts the Palestinians on probation, establishing a set of conditions they must meet and adopting Netanyahu's view that a shrunken Palestinian entity will be a state in name only; Israel will control of its borders, air space, electro-magnetic spectrum, foreign policy and security
Yes...
It's bad when trump supports a genocidal regime...
It's bad when Biden supports a genocidal regime...
Now, here's the big one. Get up and stretch, take a nice long deep breathe.
Ready?
It's bad when literally fucking anyone supports a genocidal regime.
Here's another big one:
If you excuse Dems for doing something because trump does it too, then if you don't slow down and look around, you're going to be supporting someone just like trump, because republicans found some asshole even worse.
Republicans won't magically get better
I don't excuse the dems, but you refuse to accept that Trump is 10 000x worse
Netanyahu would not be angry at Biden for his demands if Biden was fine with everything they do.
Netanyahu would not prefer to have Trump back if the two were equal.
but you refuse to accept that Trump is 10 000x worse
No I don't, because he obviously is.
It's just neither of them are good enough to be president.
Like,you know there's not really a valid reason to run unpopular neoliberals just because trump is in office right?
We could just runnwhat Dems historically do very very well with:
A young charismatic person running a progressive campaign.
There is literally no reason to be running someone the majority of registered Dem voters don't want to be president, just because they don't want the Republican.
How does that system make any logical sense?
How will shit ever improve?
Ok, then tell me who that candidate is who can win instead of Biden.
I'm waiting.
I am not super fond of Biden, and wouldn't mind seeing him replaced. But my top priority is harm reduction, and switching to a candidate who can't beat Trump would send USA into turmoil
Elizabeth Warren for one
Pretry much any Dem from the house or Senate too.
