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.

Are you suggesting that Israel is getting nothing in return for this? At a bare minimum, Israel is purchasing support for their bloodthirsty expansionist project. Sorry, but I do expect Ukraine to say no. I don’t care what Zelensky’s (or any other leader’s) personal opinion is about anything. The only thing that matters is their actions. Providing even passive support for evil, like that personified by Israel, makes it more likely that nations will behave the way that Russia has against Ukraine. Find another way.
What is Israel getting in return from Ukraine for the Patriot system? Cite your sources.
What do you mean by "support for their bloodthirsty expansionist project"? Be specific.
What do you mean by providing passive support? What passive support is being providing? Zelenskyy shaking hands with Netenyahu? Him not shaking hands with Netenyahu will force Israel stop to killing civilians in Gaza?
I've been up for 3 hour since ~ 6 am because of today's attack by the russians (after waking up twice due to Shaheds and then a Kinzhal ballistic missile warning). You believe we should not be able counter russian bombings? Just say "No!" to additional air defense systems? Do you even think about what you are writing?
How is refusal to accept the Patriot systems going to help the Palestinians?
Find another way? What does that mean? Be clear and specific!
Your have a wrapped and almost comically impractical view of the world. I can guarantee you, this type of attitude is not going to help stop the current horrors happening in Gaza and the broader genocidal imperialism of Israel.
No, they don’t think about what they’re posting because they live in the safety of a place not under constant attack and genocide OR because they are themselves a Russian troll trying to stoke fights. The third option is they are an unempathetic fuckwit with such privilege of safety that they cannot comprehend that shades of grey exist and survival can mean doing things you may not necessarily want to do.
They are lord farquaad levels of "some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to take". Obviously a troll or someone who should not be taken even a little bit seriously.
They probably do that in the hopes that it brings them diplomatic points from all the countries that are calling their genocide unacceptable recently.
No matter the reason, Ukraine needs every help it can get. They cannot denounce or fight against what's happening in Gaza if they've been annexed by Russia.
