Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

- 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.

MODERATORS
They've already given their answer. It's the same answer to everything else the West has requested of Bibi:
No.
Maybe it's time to stop pretending this is some kind of joint operation and realize we're just tagging along for a brutal genocide that not even innocent UN workers/soldiers are safe from.
Countries which have had their soldiers attacked or killed should be siezing all Israeli business assets within their borders and giving them to the victims and their familes. No matter how much it is. Seize it once and the killings stop overnight. Israel has been murdering UN peacekeepers since 1964 and no amount of chatting about it will change their behavior.
Should add American assets since they’re the ones funding and encouraging the genocide.
Why stop at 'difficult' when you can make your goals 'impossible'?
Israel and the US are so closely tied to each other that the difficulty level is nearly the same
As an American who is tired of this...works for me. Feel free to boycott anything US made in exchange for peace. We'll be fine over here. We'll complain and have a tantrum like children but it's what we do.
Oh no, not urging! That'll stop them this time.
At this point its more of a mild suggestion
Next they stomp their feet real hard.
Inside the US you can be beaten and robbed by the police for walking the street and doing nothing wrong, but in Israel if you murder a bunch of people for no reason, you get asked nicely to please consider stopping it, and let me show you how to load this cool new weapon I'm gifting you.
Thanks Joe Biden.
Not American, so I don’t have any skin in the right v. left fuckfest y’all got going on there, but this isn’t Joe’s or even any single party’s fault.
Years of systemic problems put in the position where culturally everything is in the gutter. Fix social problems and a lot of the other ones (like police brutality) will improve massively.
Regardless, fuck this appeasement of Israel. The US should be ashamed of how they’re allowing this to happen.
Sometimes it seems a couple bad faith posters care more about blaming everything on democrats, than the actual problems themselves.
Problem is that without political consequences, the politicians have no interest in addressing the problems.
They fear losing AIPAC money. They dont fear people who say that they will vote them no matter what, because they think they are the lesser of the two evils or something like that.
They dont care who you are or what you want. They dont care if you are doing well or getting fucked royally by their policies. They only care if you vote for them or not.
They would care if a large enough group stopped paying taxes. But good luck getting +10 million Americans to actually take a stand for what they believe in.
