A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

I'm starting think that when Biden said "I am a Zionist" the career federal politician actually DID know the context.
Biden would fuck around do a coup right before an election if it helped Israel
He obviously cares more about their right wing governments success than preventing trump

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that the article's sources were inaccurate - and it's Israel's coup, with the US merely not taking an active opposition.

I think this is a tad unfair, considering how many of Biden's red lines Israel has already crossed....
He made some wrong calls perhaps, but he is stuck between a rock and a hard place w.r.t. the election.
Biden couldnt care less what Americans want. Harris is a sock pupet and Blinken will be floated next. There was an astroturfed surge of comments on reddit a while back saying Antony Blinken should be the next American president. He'd be even worse than Biden/Harris. The Democratic party corporation will definitely push him as the presidential candidate in 2028 or 2032. (Assuming the bribes from AIPAC are rich enough, which is always a safe bet.)
Harris is a sock pupet
Hard disagree. Harris has already distinguished herself on Gaza as compared to Biden here (in terms of how her policies would be different).
Has she said she's stop shipping them weapons and breaking US law about enabling regimes plausibly commiting war crimes?
No, right. Please correct me if I'm mistaken about that.
This sent me down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what the deal is with Lebanese politics. Didn’t even know they’ve been without a president for two years
So democratic
Last time the west went in a civil war in Lebanon, it helped commit heinous massacres, where thousands of people were brutally slaughtered in refugee camps. Women and children were also raped and beheaded with the support of Israel.

There is an animated movie "Waltz with Bashir" where the movie maker works to regain his memories as former IDF soldier, who ultimately provided the light under which the massacres where committed.
These plans of the US and their allies show not only a complete disregard for the political stability or safety of Lebanon. They make a point of dehumanizing the victims of their past crimes again.
Joe Fucking Biden
What the actual fuck?
Looks like the US is going weaker and weaker 🤡
People can see war, aggression, genocide in real time.
