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.

Ah yes, the Jew controlling the world. A conspiracy as old as the mankind
I mean if you can’t see how comments like that sound like dogwhistles for Jewish world domination conspiracy theories then I can’t really help you.
It also has no basis in reality. The US is the master of Israel, not the other way around. If US withdraws their support, Israel would probably cease to exist (at least in its current form) in under a decade.
There are very influential evangelical circles in US government spanning generations that support a warmongering state of Israel because they believe it will bring on the rapture. But that’s not Israel controlling the US, just inbred American religious delusions.
The Israeli Government used AIPAC to capture the American Political class. That is the reality.
Every US President and major political figure since the Clinton Administration has spoken at their annual Convention. US Politicians regularly travel to Israel.
AIPAC has spent hundreds of millions of dollars backing candidates they like and going against candidates that they don't. Politicians in the last election cycle lost their seats after AIPAC spent money against them.
I could keep going but you'd probably accuse me of Gish-Galloping.
None of this is conspiracy, it's well documented and out in the open for everyone to see.
AIPAC has made it so that cannot happen and they do it intentionally.
Buddy, nobody is saying Israel has no sway on US politics. I said the opposite in my initial post as well. But that’s doesn’t make them the puppet masters behind US policy. If you believe that, you’ve fallen for conspiratorial thinking, I’m sorry.
AIPAC - in part - consists of the exact people I was talking about above. And there’s much more to the story: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lseupr/2025/02/07/the-politics-of-apocalypse-the-rise-of-american-evangelical-zionism/
