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.

I see you put a lot of effort into this, but Russia is pals with Iran, has hosted Hamas in Moscow. Israel has provided humanitarian aid to Ukraine from the beginning, Zelenskyy was very supportive of Israel after October 7. Israel this year has started to provide Military aid to Ukraine.
The air strikes in Syria you mention included a strike on a drone making factory. Same kinds of drones Russia uses against Ukraine. Ukrainians were largely disappointed by Israel not giving them Iron Dome tech at the time (which probably wasn't feasible, it's a complicated system designed to protect an area much smaller than Ukraine), but welcomed the destruction of the drone factory since those are the drones used against them.
It's very obvious the Israel, Ukraine and NATO are in alignment on one side. Russia, Iran (and their Axis of Resistance) are in alignment on the other side. Not exactly strong allies and it's clearly two different wars, but Israel and Russia are most certainly not friends, and Iran is supplying Russia with weapons.
Israel is clearly not on the side of Ukraine, if it continues to buy Russian Oil and demanded Ukraine to surrender.
Also Israel sold military drones to Russia in 2015-2017, aiding Russian war efforts against Ukraine. Not that this was already after Russia started the war by annexing Crimea and fighting in Donetsk and Luhansk.
That is the critical point to understand. Neither Israel nor Iran are strictly aligned with one side. Russia and Iran were fighting over who gets the most influence on Assads regime, where Russia was happy with Israel bombing Iranian proxies in Syria.
