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.
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.

Perhaps it's not a "israeli" war? Perhaps if there would be no Gaza this military machine would burn Syria, Lebanon, what ever? Perhaps this is power and money? Perhaps it's about nothing more?
Why are we giving $14b to one of the wealthiest nations in existence?
I'm never voting for an establishment democrat again. I don't care what the tribalists think. They don't want to solve these problems, just perpetuate them.
Bidens new memoir "How to lose votes and alienate muslims" coming to a store near you soon.
Biden ignoring his own intelligence agencies for foreign propaganda.
Yay.
I thought that was just a trump thing. But nope.
It's a US politics thing. Everyone that sets foot in the White House has to play ball, they just don't know it until they get there. It would've been interesting to see Bernie react to the reality of things in the highest office, but that's probably exactly why they never let him in.
You act like biden is forced to be shitty. I dont believe that, hes just shitty. If bernie ever won i do not believe he would cave to such idiotic ideas.
I think your mindset is a little too naive nowadays, especially seeing what both Biden and Obama have been capable of once in office. Very idealistic before getting there, but it must be a hell of a load on their shoulders with no real right answer to many things, based on factors we might not even be aware of. I agree that Bernie might fight back harder, and that's exactly why I said the easiest solution is for them to not even give him the chance.
Bernie is the only US politician that actually fights for the common man. And the only reason I think he's still a politician is because he's got the support of enough people behind him that America's oligarchy can't stop him from at least holding some official positions of power and decision making. But I don't ever see him being president of this nation, and at his age, it's likely too late now.
Right after the UNRWA accusations turn out to be false.
And israel tortured UNRWA employees into making false confessions.
Fuck Biden.
