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!
-
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.

Sheldon Adelson's widow. yeah, this all makes way too much sense. Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient in 2018, from #45. The wikipedia pic of her shows #45 solemnly placing the medal around her neck.

He died in 2021
If anybody reading this is voting against Biden because of Palestine (effectively a vote for trump under fptp) these are trumps #1 fans and bill payers
Pro trump is not pro Palestine.
This article should make it even more patently clear to everyone that the situation in Palestine would get much worse if Trump wins.
A vote for Biden is also a vote for israel.
Have you already forgotten that under Biden israel committed the largest land theft in the West Bank in a long time?
That's like saying Trump gets credit for everything that happened under his term even if somebody else did it, like the vaccine developed in Germany getting first to market

But no, that's not how it works, unless you expect Biden to go in with the US military and declare war on Israel's government
I expect Biden to put sanctions on israel and withold weapons when they violate war crimes.
Biden has also not undone Trumps move of moving the israeli embassy onto stolen land meaning Biden is on board with it.
Trump gets credit for the Zionism during his term, Biden gets credit for his own Zionism. Or need you be reminded that Biden openly calls himself a Zionist?

Are you expecting Biden to send the US military to enforce actions like that? How else will he make it happen on ground controlled by Israeli security forces without permission from Israel?
He canceled the previous veto policy;

Direct sanctions
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-expected-impose-new-sanctions-against-occupied-west-bank-outposts-axios-2024-03-14/
Has in fact already withheld weapons (yeah it should've been done earlier, but Trump is the kind of person who'd make a point of supplying more).

GOP, Trump's party, want to enforce continued weapon sales to Israel and prevent Biden from halting it
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-gop-pushes-israel-weapons-bill/story?id=110228315
Mhhh yes, Biden is "witholding weapons"
We can thank Genocide Joe for israel bombing refugee tent camps. How did the investigation of that bombing turn out again? Israel definitely isn't committing war crimes according the Genocide Joe right? Because that would invoke Leahy law and prevent arms exports.
Thank you for linking the most minute of irrelevant details where Biden makes a symbolic gesture while supporting Genocide. He sanctions 4 colonists and some random illegal colonies in the west bank instead of the terror government that is responsible for those colonies to begin with. I haven't read what happened to the colony sanctions but those 4 colonists already had their sanctions removed.
You are so focused on the details in rhetoric that you fail to observe both parties being the exact same in actions.
Israel is capable of manufacturing bombs all of their own so it wouldn't have stopped anything. Yes he should have cut off weapons almost immediately, but you know perfectly well that the Trump who promised to ban Palestinians from USA and mass deport people would support Israel actively instead.
You're actively lying to yourself
I've debunked that argument like 20 times on here by now I am amazed someone still uses it.

Apparently they think they can cover everything but vehicles and ships, and they aren't losing nearly as many planes to their enemy as Russia has
That is why Netanyahu needs tank shells from Biden so badly.
do we have a punchable faces sub yet?
Funny how you can basically buy those. Just gotta be filthy rich and ethically bankrupt.
