A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Why should he fight Israel's wars when there are Americans who will do it for him?
Dodging military service. Maybe he has bone spurs too.
He has a face as punchable as spez's, too.
Why don’t presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?
To be fair, Israel is the country which could be critiqued the least under this aspect. Netanyahu did fight in the military in a variety of conflicts and his brother was killed while fighting. I guess the son did not learn their trade
Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels
Victorious Victorias kneel
For brand new spanking deals
Marching forward, hypocritic
And hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
Crazy how much the lyrics written for shit happening under W fit better with what's going on now.
I had the same thought yesterday but for Year Zero by Nine Inch Nails.
Yeah, and especially for how popular it was back then it can be haunting to listen to old hits from bands like SOAD and RATM.
I’ve always been a mega SoaD fan but the last year or so the songs hit so fucking hard
Absolutely. I've probably listened to Prison Song this past year more than any other track of theirs.
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison for you and meeee
It's funny how this reads as: look over here, look how vulnerable he is. I certainly hope something doesn't happen to him. Right. HERE.
It was the fuck aroundest of times
It was the find outest of times
34 years old? They speak about him like a teenager
34? I was serving my country at that age.
Not Israel nor the USA, for the record.
He's the son of a Politician. They mature around 60 and reach that peak predator energy around 80.
So he is not even in Israel. How new and fresh
When do we as humanity burn the fucking authoritarian playbook to the ground along with anyone following it?
Controversial opinion: more young Israelis should do what this man is doing. They should say "lol fuck this shit, who wants to be fighting anyway" and move out of Israel. North American and European countries should welcome them with open arms. Anti-aliyah. Who needs a shithole apartheid bunker state anyway? Settlers move out, come live free from that shit and Free Palestine.
This is what would solve the problem in the Middle East, which is why they will never do it.
OTOH, the children of leaders calling for war should be the first on the front lines.
I mean, I guess I'd rather have him here than killing people? Still exposes the whole Israeli operation as a farce.
Get his worthless ass into a frontline infantry unit.
Sounds like ICE has a valid deportation target for once.
someone should phone in a tip....
Surprise! Surprise! The elite class who start wars and sent ordinary people to their deaths at the battlefront are draft dodgers!
I dream of a world where whenever these 'leaders' and rulers declare a war, ordinary people on both sides drag them out of their castles, tie them up and throw them in an arena along with sticks, stones, knives and maces. The people can take positions along the gallery of the arena and cheer their leaders on, as the latter fight each other to their deaths. And if they refuse to do so, we can send along some wild lions and elephants for motivation.

Creedence called it almost 60 years ago, in the best anti-war song ever and a few decades later, SoaD asked "why do they always send the poor" in one of the best ones of this millennium
Guillotines are far cheaper. There's a reason they're a fan favorite.

I do appreciate this part, probably not intended as comedy but still very funny.

LOL thanks for letting us know that someone can go snatch him up and send him to Iran as a bargaining piece.

Somebody put signs all over Miami with his face and some clever line about him being in Miami dodging the military
That would be awesome.
Do the same with trumps family.
Deport that
