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.

Im all for hating Biden, but this is ultimately a good thing?
Or do people want the war to expand to the whole region so more civilians get affected?
There are "people" here who go out of their way to frame everything good Biden does as something bad.
They can't even just pick something bad. They have to attack the good thing specifically.
Israel is arrogant enough to think they can fight multiple wars at the same time. Biden and others have made the best effort to warn them against it, but if Netanyahu wants to risk the entire country just to grab more land then what can we do to stop him?
What can we do?idk have our president tell their leader that they're dumb and not to do it. Basically exactly what occurred. Less people dying is good.
We can do MUCH more than that. Currently Biden is giving $8 Billion a year to Israel and is Congress for an additional $14 Billion, and is vetoing UN Security Council resolutions that criticize Israel and quietly blocking their investigations into war crimes. Biden could add conditions to the aid (he already blocked shipments of rifles because they were going to arm settlers who were committing attacks on unarmed Palestinians), he could block the additional aid or heavy weapons shipments or he could abstain and let the UN Security Council actually order Israel to stop violating the Geneva Conventions.
Sure, it's good. But it shows that the Americans have the influence to tell Israel which targets to attack, and they're not using it to tell them to avoid attacking hospitals, schools, their own hostages, etc.
As with everything, it's wholly inadequate.
Or they don't?
"Be more selective with targets"
"No"
"Well at least don't fuckin launch a cross-border attack"
"Maybe"
See how that can work? The American response HAS been inadequate, but it's because they continue to supply the genocide in Gaza, not because they're trying to reign in the extremists
