Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Apparently not even to click a link. Did you click it? Or did you just get offended at the "Let me google that for you" method? This is literally the top link: https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/13/world/reagan-demands-end-to-attacks-in-a-blunt-telephone-call-to-begin.html

This is wrong.
Far left.... Like Reagan? Again, I provided you the link, did you even click it? This isn't rational.
LOL. How to say you know nothing about geopolitics without saying you know nothing about geopolitics.
Countries are not fungible. Other countries have different views and different alliances than our country does.
Again, countries are not fungible.
Furthermore, you are ignoring how much fucking money we give them.
Not if. I provided you link, you just took offense at the format and didn't follow through.
It's funny how this doesn't apply to your (wrong) assertions that justify your (wrong) viewpoint.
Go justify your favorite presidents genocide somewhere else.
You do have a responsibility to have some understanding of the topic you're commenting on. It's not other peoples responsibility to teach you. Especially when you refuse to actually follow links or read things.
Yes, but here's the problem: I don't know you were referring to the top link, nor would it make sense for me to assume that you were. After all, the top link refers to a phone call Reagan made 1) to a different Israeli president 2) in a different war 3) against an entirely different group 4) in which the lengthy article, from what I can tell, doesn't actually specify that the call had any particular effect. Of course, in reality Israel's attack on Lebanon continued for a month and a half after this article was published. Nowhere does it specify that Reagan took the step of cutting off any weapons whatsoever, as Biden did. So it would actually be the height of irrationality for me to assume this was support for your point, as it doesn't support it at all.
To reiterate, my point is that Biden had reason to presume that in some alternate universe (that doesn't actually exist and cannot be polled today) if he had cut off aid to Israel it would've alienated Jewish voters and lost the election. The poll you provided not only cannot relate to that point, but it doesn't even include option for insufficient support for Israel. But I do know both from my own discussions with Jewish voters and articles like this one that "weakness against Hamas" drove many pro-Israel jews to support Trump this election. It was a lose-lose situation. Y'all could've helped garner a bit of sympathy by maybe not chanting edgy slogans that are designed to sound scary, and skipping the spraypainting of neighborhoods and late night loud camping events on campuses. Of course Hamas could've also helped by not filming themselves murdering white teenagers just trying to have a party. That's who the blame for the failure to stop Israel really lies with.
Well then neither does Netanyahu, who had been quite openly friendly with Putin up until the Hamas attacks and China thereafter.
It actually is though. I'm not demanding to be taught, you're the one who volunteered to teach me. You can't then assign me homework. Any business owner will tell you that if you want your bill to be paid, you should make it easy to be paid - provide many forms of payment, send an envelope, etc. Likewise, if you want to be heard, make it easy to listen.
