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.

But everyone else who supports Israel will likely claim they are terrorist just to stop that from happening.
But Democrats would win the votes of those who disapprove of Netanyahu's actions in Gaza.
I’m not saying that is bad. I’m saying things are bad enough that the opposition will do wha they can to keep support for the genocide high.
Yes, but if the opposition can't get into office, they can't support Netanyahu.
I don't believe they would be safe in America. Whole lot of countries they can go to that would be safe
Then again, empty promises is a hallmark of the Democratic party
They should be safe. Many Americans including those who are Jewish disapprove of Netanyahu's actions in Gaza.
The US government views itself as Israel's closest ally. The government cares far more about what Israel says and wants than it does domestic Jewish opinion
Trump would have to power to jave them unilaterally deported. Just send his ICE goons after them
I do agree with you democrats could win a few votes by promising asylum. It's just an empty promise though, because Trump is the only one that actually has the power to make that decision, as is typical of a dictator
If Democrats control Congress, Trump would have less power.
Why are you wasting our times saying this shit? Democrats don't want these votes. They will support Israel until the end.
From https://www.jpost.com/international/article-903967
Support for Israel among Democratic voters has plummeted, candidates critical of Israel are winning Democratic primaries, and even moderate lawmakers are increasingly willing to challenge decades of US support for Israel.
We can't even keep the refugees we've already promised asylum safe, what makes you think the democrats will do any better for these two?
The South African refugees are safe. The other purpose is to win the votes of Americans disapproving of Netanyahu's actions in Gaza.
"The white ones are taken care of, so it's fine"
Hollywood might take care of the NAZA directors.
Clown take.
Actually, after taking a quick gander into your comments, you are a clown account.
they were white, and politically useful, because they are "Musk's people"
Hollywood might embrace them.
Stop suggesting this. It's gross as hell.
Setting aside the fact that the current Democratic leadership -- Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer -- are ardent Zionists, it makes me so angry that you see this problem, and your solution is asylum. For the purpose of 'winning votes'.
You should be demanding the US stop funding and arming the people who want to kill them, their families, and millions of Palestinians.
It's like hearing that a child is being abused at home and suggesting that Target should buy them tickets to Disneyland because it would generate good press.
Sort your priorities out, mate. Christ.
its alot more than those 2. at least 13+ in both houses, some other ones are well know like booker, fetterman, slotkin, and a bunch of others. the minorities leaders are just shielding the ones that are at risk for getting thier seats primaried.
How do you get the US to stop Netanyahu without getting the politicians in office to do it? Do you think Democrats or Republicans would be more willing to do this?
Look I presumed Naza was the Israeli space program ok don’t judge me
So they're not there, that's good
I am very sure they expected this to be the case in the current political climate in Israel and made their preparations.
Yeah.
I have high hopes that one day, they will be among the future leaders of a new Israel-Palestine.
People like these -- as well as many Palestinians currently in detention or living in exile -- will be the Nelson Mandelas of whatever is one day built over the ruins of the present Nakba.
Sad, but what do you expect from an evil society. I would like to think that this wouldn't the happen in America, but then I saw they raided a congresswoman house trying to build a case to remove her citizenship for deportation. Evil all around.
Good, I seldom hear about the israeli left... this must make noise
they quashed the opposition after benny got illegitimately elected.
