World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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.

Because Biden is the one with full power to stop this at any moment if he so desired?
Because Biden is actively providing Intel to israel?
Because Biden bypassed Congress to give more bombs to Isreal last month?
Because Biden sent three aircraft carriers to stop anyone from retaliating?
Because Biden says he is a Zionist himself?
Stop excusing Genocide Joe. He is just as responsible if not more responsible than Netanyahu. He is the key player that enables this genocide.
Nobody's excusing him. Listen to the fucking argument and stick to it.
He's not. That's my whole point. He's not the one issuing orders. If I gave you a gun and you misuse it, that's on you. You can't say I'm responsible for the murder you committed, even if I enabled your behavior. I would not be the murderer. Is that clear? Can we hold two ideas at once? Do you realize what I'm saying? Or are you just gonna generally argue at me like I'm saying something else that you'd rather talk about?
Exactly, because there's a bigger picture here, but all you care about is blindly blaming one person in some sort of big bad wolf fantasy of yours. Netanyahu and his entire administration is the one pulling the trigger, which is part of the argument. You're overlooking decades of severe conflict with Palestine. The rage, the pain, the suffering on both sides. They want to murder each other and they don't need Biden's blessings for that. They themselves are also taking advantage of the opportunity and we have to recognize that. Because even if Biden did stop supplying arms to Israel, the war would not end. Israel won't listen. The conflict would spill over to neighboring countries. It's complex. I can't believe I have to spell it out when we've grown up hearing about this our entire lives.
