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.

Biden didn't seem to mention that Israel has conducted more than a thousand air strikes on Lebanon in two days, killing many hundreds, possibly thousands by now:

Are all of those thousand air strikes "justice"?
Neither Biden nor his Neocon friends care. The point is to try and provoke Iran into attacking. They've been gagging for war with Iran for years
I heard one (1) of them killed a leader of Hezbollah, so that's 0.001% effectiveness!
Murderous Americans moralizing against others, what a joke.
Only slamming? if they are not at least blasting it, I'm not interested
I mean did u expect the Israelis to do anything else?
It’s crazy. For a man supposedly so concerned with legacy, he is absolutely shattering his, in the eyes of the younger generations. His Wikipedia page is going to have a whole fucking subsection dedicated to his enablement of the Palestinian Genocide, and how he was pivotal player in what as I see as the start of the next major conflict in the Middle East.
It's absolutely jaw-dropping how completely wrong-headed he is on this matter. It’s a shocking contrast to how deftly he was able to pull the geopolitical levers to get the world to line up behind Ukraine against Russia. Simultaneously, his pussy-footing on the follow-through there is deeply dismaying. And, of course, his effective grant of carte blanche military impunity to Bibi with regards to Palestine and Israel’s neighbors. It’s fucking embarrassing that our UN ambassador is halting any effective action or sanctions against Israel actively conducting this genocide.
As much as I appreciate large swaths of what he and Obama did with their administrations in a domestic sense, on balance, I think it’s fair to say that their overall global geopolitical performance has been more than a bit lacking.
