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.

When would the killing stop under biden (or harris who was happy to continue his policies)? Pausing one fucking shipment isn't the amazing stand for life that you think it is. Sure though, blame it all on Palestine and not the democrats refusing to listen to voters (on many issues, not just this one) during a fucking election. I'm sure if the other pro-genocide candidate got in, we'd all be living in fucking paradise.
I hope your path of reasoning works out, but I fear Trump would even allow Israel to throw nuclear weapons at Palestine... just for shits and giggles of his fan base to see if Israel really would.
They will drive Israel to the limit of atrocious crimes they allow ... and use this to prosper antisemitic sentiment everywhere else. That's my prognosis, let's see who is closer to the truth.
the killing stopped under Biden now.
the killing stopped under Harris now.
#when will the killing stop under Trump?
tell us! when?? we were told it would stop of Harris lost!
Nobody told you the killing would stop if Trump won. The minority of people in the U.S. who have a serious problem with genocide (enough to push them to action) mostly expressed extreme disillusionment at a political system where genocide has become acceptable enough to vote for across a broad majority of the population, and an unwillingness to support anyone responsible.
Your logic of "one genocide supporter would be worse than the other" is not compelling to anyone who's thought about it for more than a few minutes.
is he president now? no? then it stopped under his control. the. fucking. end.
Trump in now, where's the outrage, homeboy?
where's the vitrol?
I don't think you've got it in you to call him out on this. you've commented twice already and not once have you blamed Trump for restoring access to 2000 pound bombs.
and you won't because you're too weak to admit you were wrong. oh I remember you mother fucker....don't even think I don't remember you.
Biden, not once, ever, stated "full throated support for genocide".
Removed for misinformation.
At no point did Biden ever, once, tell Israel to continue killing Palestinians. The support was provided for defense from Iran, full stop.

What Israel chose to do with that support is on Israel, not Biden.
Removed again for misinformation and temp banned.
This is an awfully subjective political opinion to be moderating on.

Are you really trying to claim that USA supported israel without knowing they would have leveled gaza?
thanks for pointing that out hark.
remind me again.... who's giving them the 2000 pound bombs?
Spoiler Alert: Biden gave them over FOURTEEN THOUSAND 2000lb bombs.
If you can ignore what the Biden presidency has done for the last two years, why can't you ignore what Trump hasn't done?
Got a little TDS or is the BlueMAGA brainrot claiming you?
No, I get off to fantasy that the smoothbrains who voted for either of grifting corporate parties finally see that progress does not happen when democrats or republicans are in office.
My fantasy is that I can wake up and not see people fighting and fawning over two people and parties who don't care about the average American.
My fantasy is seeing the day reason and logic take over vibez and feelz. Most people have at best 3rd grade reading comprehension, and they post those confused ideas on messageboards pontificating words and scenarios that they don't understand while ignoring the most basic historical facts of the situation.
But yes Trump bad. Biden and Harris worse.
Well, for one, Harris wouldn't have had people doing Nazi salutes on stage at her inauguration... But surely that's unrelated.
I would put forward the argument that Democrat voters are obsessed with appearances and rhetoric, and completely ignore policy that contradicts the ideals they think of themselves as having. You criticize Elon Musk doing Nazi symbolism, great. Count how many comments you've posted about that, and then give me the ratio of those to the number of comments you posted criticizing Biden for sending ~30 billion dollars of arms to a genocide. Because, at the end of the day, the biggest problem with Nazism was that it resulted in genocide. You might remember from school that genocide is LITERALLY THE WORST THING EVER BESIDES COMPLETE NUCLEAR ANNIHILATION OF THE PLANET.
I'd like to see a minimum of 1:100 on those comments. I get the feeling it's less.
No but she would have had people like Liz Cheney on stage with her, who are just the somewhat more polite precursor to nazis and harbor the same essential bigotry just more disguised in the language of the ruling class.
