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.

The US Israel FTA (Free Trade Agreement) was began in 1985. 1985 to 2024 is how many years exactly?? And the weapons sent is a direct result of the 10 Year Memorandum wish is in addition to the FTA.
It wouldn’t have happened without it. And it’s pretty safe to assume that canceling one, cancels the other. Which again, illustrate my point- NUANCED and COMPLICATED
Lastly… The fact that you seem to be incapable of counting excuses you from this discussion.
I'll spell this out for you.
The US Israel FTA does not include military sales, which are regulated in separate treaties.
The 10 year memorandum is a memorandum (meaning non-binding) and only deals with financial assitance and missile defense - which I already mentioned. It can be cancelled at literally any time.
Neither agreement affects the other. You should Google a little more thoroughly. Or better yet, stop arguing about topics you don't understand.
This is the last time I'm responding to you. I get the impression you're just here to feed your ego.
This is not a constructive way to learn about topics you're unfamiliar.
So what happens when you cancel one without warning? What do you thing will be the reaction? Think Israel will play nice?
And… No, they’re not the same thing, I never said they were. But they’re bridged in that the dissolving of one will all but guarantee the dissolving of the other.
You people think you know everthing about everything. But the simple fact that you can say it’s easy to just end a decades long agreement only shows your ignorance on the matter.
Like… you seriously think you know SO much more than the people who have dedicated their lives to geopolitics and diplomacy. THEY say it’s incredibly complicated. and I’m supposed to assume YOU are right and they are wrong? Expert vs. a Random Nobody?
Hmmm…
Yeah… good you have no intention to respond. I’m sure everyone must be as tired as I am of seeing you all attack everyone for disagreeing with you while offering no reasonable explanation to explain how it would be sO eAzY tO jUsT sToP!!!
I’ve answered everyone’s questions- whether you like the answers or not- NONE of you have offered a realistic example to support your bullshit.
So maybe it's best you walk away.
