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. 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.
-
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? Trump's people met with Netanyahu. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/donald-trump-foreign-policy-advisers-met-israeli-pm-netanyahu-source-says-2024-05-20/
Trump said only a fool would have not acted like Israel after October 7th: https://www.israelhayom.com/2024/03/25/trump-to-israel-hayom-only-a-fool-would-have-not-acted-like-israel-on-oct-7/
He said that he would bar Gazan refugees if he were president: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/17/trump-muslim-ban-gaza-refugees
His son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner said Gaza's beachfront property could be valuable: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/19/jared-kushner-gaza-waterfront-property-israel-negev
He said if elected, he would crack down on Pro-Palestinian protests: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/28/trump-promises-crackdown-on-pro-palestinian-protests-if-elected
The only way it would hasten Trump's rise is if people continue to not know all of that. Maybe they should be educated.
I think what we’ll see is Biden’s support for Israel not so much making people more likely to vote for Trump as making them more likely to not vote at all.
(Which, in a 2-party system where one side ALWAYS falls in line behind their candidate, makes that side much more likely to win.)
And for the people who will choose to NOT vote for Biden over Israel, I think they’re likely more concerned with what Biden is doing rather than what Trump might do.
Though, as you say, it will definitely be worse not just for Palestine but for Ukraine and the world at large.
Sorry to repeat this comment, but it really applies here too since I don't disagree with either of you:
SCOTUS nominations are probably the only thing gonna make me actually vote for Biden. He's done some stuff that was good, sure, but no where near what I would have liked to see him accomplish, and his approach to the ongoing genocide is inexcusable, but I can't let that mean I help Trump decide the court layouts for the rest of my life by staying home.
Right, this election, and the last, where more about who the president surrounds themselves with. Who they appoint to key positions. Not the individual.
Anyone who doesn’t vote - especially to stop trump - is more than a cretinous idiot, they’re actively working to destroy the world.
Articles like this do not help, and posting them does not help. Teh BiDeN GeNoSiDe crowd are actively doing what russian trolls want.
If someone has the one-and-only issue of stopping Israel from the genocide they’re obviously committing, they’re going to have to do something else. Bitching about Biden on the interwebs is the very least effort possible. (And kudos to them on having such a myopic worldview that they only give a shit about one thing. The rest of us are trying to avoid the destruction of much more than that and would superappreciate it if they could shut the fuck up for about sixteen more weeks or so.) If we make it out of this election alive or with a majority, then it’s all systems go for bitchapalooza. Until then, fight trump or gtfo.
