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.

And if that happens, Bibi will say he needs to grab even more land to secure the new land.
Because logically that justification will never end, wherever the border is, there will always be the same "security need" to defend the new land as there was to grab it.
It literally never ends, and as other nations realize that, surrender and peace stop being an option because you know it's just a minor delay.
On a positive note, that attitude was a factor in the collapse of Rome - and the Romans had a much larger economy.
But the Romans didn't have a stranglehold on a superpower country through religious cult fanatics. I don't think. Honestly actually wouldn't be surprised.
It's more that they didn't have the ability to destroy cities with a single bomb dropped from the upper atmosphere by a stealth bomber as a constant threat to anyone in the world who disagreed with Rome.
I think they're being so aggressive right now because they know their hold on both US parties is on a timer.
And the orange war will make more people question their energy security, advancing that timer. The middle east becomes less important as the oil becomes less important. The gulf states know that which is why they are trying to diversify. They hitched their wagons to the USA for security but the USA just fucked them with making their safety and security doubtful for the foreseeable future, undermining any attempts for tourism, ai data centres, travel hubs etc.
Trump has basically burned all bridges in all parts of the world, for no appreciable gain.
No they just were that themselves
I think every time Hezbollah restarts shit by attacking Israel, this response is to be expected
The UN and Lebanon have been unable to stop them so Israel's only real option is to push them back as far as necessary to at least increase the distance for their rockets
Yeah turns out people being oppressed fight back, funny how that works huh?
