A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

OK. Do it.
A) Most people don't believe that the only way Israel is able to fight off the evil Palestinians is because of bid daddy US.
B) The 13,000 Palestinian children you have murdered would've been happy to be able to defend themselves against fingernails.
lol did he think that made them sound strong or tough, or does he realize it makes him sound like an emotional manbaby?
Emotionally disturbed if you ask me
My first thought was that he's starting to sound like Putin.
"we". mfer is sending other people to war. he is not involved in any fighting. eff outta here
Why do they always send the poor?
It's not a war. It's a genocide.
A number of high profile Israel failkids have gotten themselves killed doing insane bullshit in Gaza since the bombing started. The war cabinet minister Gadi Eizenkot's son headed a commando raid into northern Gaza in the middle of a bombing run. Very likely he was killed in friendly fire, under orders from his own father.
Much like the 30 year old Brigadier General and his 20 subordinates who killed themselves dynamiting the home of a slaughtered Palestinian family, he's become collateral damage in his country's bloodthirsty rampage of revenge.
When you play the victim role one (or rather 50) times too many.
According to Israel, everyone is against Israel
Sometimes, when everything is shit, check your shoes instead of telling others that they are shit
And everyone who dares criticizing them is obviously antisemitic.
Can a country have a gender, too? Can the state of Israel be a woman so its also sexist not to commit genocide?
If you perfectly obey israel and wag your tail for them you are allowed to exist.
The second anyone pushes back in the slightest against their Nazi regime trying to execute a Holocaust they are instantly slandered as Hamas.
Israel has no qualms throwing loyal dogs that have been supporting them for their entire lives, just look at Genocide Joe getting labeled as Hamas the second he draws any lines.
These are not people that can be negotiated with. The are extremist maniacs.
Sounds like they don't need any help. Good to hear. Now maybe we can stop providing billions in support each year.
Maybe the US should just stop arming Israel and give the arms to Gaza instead and see how that plays out.
I can't believe this bullshit has gone on for so long
Nobody can believe the shit has gone on so far with Russia and Ukraine but here we are 2 years later.
This conflict with Israel is looking to go on for just as long if not longer.
The conflict with Israel has gone on for 76 years. October 7th was just the start of a cycle of intensification within the larger conflict.
Pay attention to this, America. This is a desperate politician facing embarrassment, criminal prosecution, prolonged jail and international ridicule for the rest of his life if this "war" doesn't perpetrate indefinitely. This is how trump will hold the US hostage if your boomer aunts and uncles in the swing state suburbs elect him again.
Israel has already been preparing for this eventuality for years. They’re not as dependent on US aid as one might think. They had started working towards reducing their dependence on US military aid specifically because of US presidents trying to set milquetoast restrictions like, “Please stop committing war crimes so openly.” And our aid makes up much less of their GDP (though still something like $3+ billion/year). Likely they’ll just take their business elsewhere to countries more willing to ignore war crimes. We should still stop providing aid to them though, they’re a belligerent country and committing war crimes & genocide.
well fingernails are better than bombs and white phosphorous
Sounds like there isn't any issue if we stop all arms shipments then. See ya Bibi bitch.
Victimitation
That sounds a lot less likely to murder innocents.
They will also be fighting with:
Fingernails and decades of US arms sales.
Send those interceptor missiles to Ukraine instead
Ok. Have fun.
PILE HIGH THE FINGERNAILS OF THE VANQUISHED OPPRESSOR, THAT NAGLFAR AT LAST MAY UNFURL HER SAILS FOR RAGNARÖK
If those old oral traditions turn out to be prophetic, I wonder if that makes Russia an analogical Jormungandr, eating the remnants of the former USSR and growing ever larger.
Good, then let them fight with their fingernails. STOP ALL MONEY & WEAPONS TO ISRAEL.
This was the first thought that came to mind:
And I'm sure they'll be just as heroic.
Israel's ministry of peace said on Thursday that the withholding of arms would pose no obstacle to the swift end to the looming Hamas threat. They added - All previous Palestine land will be ready for Israel citizen settlements by next spring. /s In case that's necessary.
Jared Kushner says Gaza’s ‘waterfront property could be very valuable’
He said that if he were in charge of Israel his number one priority would be getting civilians out of the southern city of Rafah, and that “with diplomacy” it could be possible to get them into Egypt.
“But in addition to that, I would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there,” he said. “I think that’s a better option, so you can go in and finish the job.”
He reiterated the point a little later, saying: “I do think right now opening up the Negev, creating a secure area there, moving the civilians out, and then going in and finishing the job would be the right move.”
Just need a little Lebensraum and we can get it with this Final Solution.
Netanyahu appeared to shrug off a public warning from the US president, Joe Biden, the previous night that if the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a major offensive on the city the US would not provide bombs and artillery shells to support the operation.
Political theatre.
US keeps trying to pretend and appear rational, peaceful, trying to end "war", then ships a ton more to start the slaughter. Then US sends another warning…
The US is the really annoying parent in a grocery store counting to 3 over and over to try to get their child under control.
