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.

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.

Trump administration working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya (www.nbcnews.com)

In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

What actions on Gaza has the Trump regime taken that are demonstrably worse than what the Biden administration allowed?

I often see this question asked, and I wonder if those asking have been asleep the past few months?

Under Biden:

Israel was still negotiating with Hamas for a ceasefire and release of hostages. A ceasefire deal was even reached.
Israel limited the amount of occupation zones at the request of the Biden administration.
Mass deportations weren't being planned (at least not openly, and not by the US).
Israel reduced but still allowed some foreign aid.

Under Trump:

Israel broke the ceasefire and resumed hostilities with even greater military force.
Is creating very large occupation zones and "kill zones" where Palestinians are forced to leave.
Is openly planning mass deportations and ethnic cleansing, in collaboration with the US.
Israel has blocked foreign aid completely.

As a result people now face mass starvation and the prospect of being fully ethnically cleansed.

I understand Biden was extremely disappointing. I thought he was too. But we shouldn't kid ourselves that he was in any way equally bad as Trump has been. And given what Trump and Israel have been saying, the worst is likely to come.

As I recall, Israel almost always said they would go to these, and then didn't, without even telling the Biden administration they were going to miss it. They'd just dead ass no show and leave the Biden team twisting in the wind. Then team Biden would say "well, okay, I guess we have no choice but to give them more bombs."

Israel reduced but still allowed some foreign aid.

My dude, the way I remember it, we had to build a float dock because Israel wouldn't allow any aid to come in by ground, and for the little bit they did, they murdered the people who tried to get it. Then, the float dock broke up, and we all just kind of shrugged.
