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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

I sometimes get the feeling Israeli politics are pretty fucked up. A bit like in America, but with ten parties instead of two.
It's worse...
Imagine Jan 6th worked and trump just kept office ignoring elections...
That's essentially what Bibi has been doing for four years, he keeps cancelling elections due to "wars" he keeps starting. Because his coalition has zero chance of winning an election again, and the second he's out of office, his corruption trial starts.
The biggest Israel propaganda push has been that Israel is a unified front and everyone is behind Bibi, they've been having some of their largest protests ever to get rid of him
Like, America has "liberated" countries for a lot less...
Bibi is (and has been) a straight up dictator and the majority of Israelis don't want it. They're a lot worse off than even America.
They're unified on the genocide part. The person leading it, can change
Literally not...
I didn't just mean that they support Bibi, I meant they support his actions.
Like, this is a complicated messy issue and Bibi's side intentionally muddys it even further. There are polls that are presented as saying most Israelis support what he's doing, but that's propaganda.
It is very easy to get a poll to say what you want, and the current Israeli government (like most fascist dictatorships) put a lot of effort into spreading polls that say everyone loves the fascist dictatorship and what they're doing.
Don't fall for it because it says what you want it to. The point is to make you drive the Israelis that don't like Bibi, to Bibi.
This is incredibly basic and you'll see this strategy all.ovwr on various scales. It's important to understand it as a concept because it's happening fucking everywhere.
