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.

Israel was primarily created by Russian and other Eastern European Jews, before eventually getting an influx of Jews running from discrimination across Western, Christian Europe (including Germany) and then finally Holocaust survivors following WWII.
These origins still define the relationships between Israelis and their home countries. I think 1/3 of Israelis can claim Russian or Soviet ancestry.
Also notable that Israel has an active relocation program for people who want to move there from Russia and possibly other former USSR states.
Most of the world really, provided that you're Ashkenazi, those who are not, well. They aren't really welcome in Israel. To the point where the White European colonizers carried out a little genocide against those they deemed Mizrahi, the Jewish groups who had never left the holy land.
Those two countries are linked and aligned together through the "Epstein" type networks. Just look at president orange hitler and how he works for them both at once.
Of course, mossad is destabilising the world since the '50
I'd rather say those 2 are fond of each other. Not long ago there was scandal with Israel buying from Russia stolen Ukrainian grain and even blasted Ukraine for going public with it.
People on reddit defending Israel by saying Russia was still in Syria and would strike Israel but let's be real, Israel is protected by US, Russia wouldn't touch Israel as long as that's the setup so Israel simply has some kind of backstage relationship to act the way they do towards each other.
Russia gave Syria S-300 and S-400 systems which could supposedly knock out some of the most advanced bomber jets, yet not one Israeli fighter was downed over Syria. And this is before F-35s existed.
Like you said, Israel playing both sides and both sides know it too.
Smells like BITCH to me.
Or if we wish to be truly offensive, FUCKING BACON.
now they have gone too far! I can accept genocide, but I draw the line at not getting involved in a war on another continent.
