World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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 understand the logic, but I think Trump and Biden had entirely different reasons for their support with only donors being in the center of their venn diagram. Biden was a zionist through and through. He believed Israel was aligned with our interests in the middle east and if anything changed it would have been sold as Bibi being the issue, as liberals are pretending right now that Ben Gavir and other hardliners don't exist. I think Trump cannot even say that much because they have evidence on his crimes against children. It's long been obvious that Trump was compromised by Israel, but the media largely only reported his conflicts of interest with Russia. The intelligence agencies believed Israel was the largest concern when it came to Trump. Trump while he doesn't seem opposed to zionism, he would only ever see it as a positive since it runs cover for the type of society he would like to have and gives him lessons on what steps to achieve that. Especially now that Viktor Orban has been kicked out of power.
Trump's primary reason for supporting Israel is to prop up his support among Christian Zionists, who believe Israel needs to exist in order to facilitate their messiah's return.
Support for what reason? He doesn't care about his already trash reputation. He doesn't act in any way like a populist any more, even to evangelicals. Are we just going to pretend this isn't obvious?

That's my point...
Biden was very open about the reason he'd give Israel anything, was a conversation he had with his dad as a very small child which boiled down to: the Jewish people have been treated even worse than Catholics, no matter what happens you have to always support Israel because they'll come for Catholics next.
Regardless of anything else, Biden will always be 100% loyal to Israel because of that
trump doesn't give a fuck about Israel if the arrangement is no longer profitable to him personally, he's out.
So Israel was better off with Biden/Kamala, because Kamala would be 100% loyal to Israel for just the money. But we will never have a more Israel aligned president than Biden, and Bibi is a fucking idiot for not doing all he could to get Biden a second term because of that
I think the crux of my message was that while both of them are attached to Israel, one of them is due to their own beliefs and the other is due to pressure. If it was his voters exerting that pressure keeping us in I could not see that even mattering right now. His approval is dogshit and the war only hurts it more. I think it would be naive to ignore how many times Trump has been cucked by Israel where he basically has only also done so by China. In other words, he only allows this if there's no choice. What about Israel's war presents no choice for the US? I think it's far more personal why there's no choice, and the evidence suggests compromise.
