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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Considering what a joke Trump's ceasefire has been, I expect something even flimsier like this to be even more of a joke.
The intention wad never a ceasefire
I agree. That was the point. It's theater. And Palestinians will continue to suffer in their own homes as my people have.
You mean it’s not legally binding when Marco Rubio says “tch-tch-tch… now don’t you do that.”
At some point, they're going to have to acknowledge that Israel so badly wants both Gaza and the West Bank. They've always wanted it. They don't give a shit about the Palestinians living there, and they never have. This is their version of manifest destiny. At some point, there will have to be a public acknowledgement that this administration knows this. They're trying to walk an impossible line of not saying this out loud and yet still moving in this direction as if Palestinians won't notice. As if this isn't the reason Hamas exists!
Oh, Marco. You're just going to do whatever Bibi tells you to do or Mossad releases the videos of you fucking those young boys. Quit your posturing.
Now you see why AI everywhere is so important. Anyone could have made that video!
I can hear Netanyahu laugthing about Rubios' words. It has always be the plan to get rid of the Palestinian people. The Hamas attack just provided a welcomed excuse to depopulate Gaza. They won't stop just because of American politicians' complaints.
I thought they wanted the entire area to be isreal. Wasn't that what Trump was promoting a few weeks ago?
That was a few weeks ago. He's... I don't know, looked at a picture of a picture of a palm tree since then? Who knows what his "policy" will be from day to day? Hell, hour to hour!
To enrich himself and his legion of sycophantic industry leaders, random rich people, and whatever criminal influencers, at the expense of the American people and the planet. That will be his day to day "policy".
It is so fucked, we are so fucked, there is no coming back from this even if we did. We won't be able to undo the harm that is being wreaked upon the nation and the world, and we all know this shit is just getting started.
This is very true
Rubio explicitly said that it's not the time yet
Explicitly "yet"?
I think the president’s made clear that’s not something we can be supportive of right now
So yes saying yet is accurate
Thanks
US does whatever Israel wants.
Israel ignores whatever US wants.
If anyone is wondering who's the puppet.
I'm just curious how it got like this. What leverage does Israel have that it's got such a strong hold over USA than any influence it might have in the rest of Europe?
AIPAC managed to get in before they began banning international lobbying.
And if you want to put on a tinfoil hat, I would personally would not be surprised if there is a lot of blackmail involved. with plenty of conspiracies about Epstein being a mossad agent.
Well he certainly earned his keep. Or maybe not
US always loses control of their pit bulls.
The United Snakes is just acting. It could stop Isrsel if it want to but prefer not to
Sure they could stop them now, but eventually they’ll lose control
They can never lose control, the billions that israel use comes from the USA
Only way they’d stop is if leadership changes. Zionists will keep being zionists even without billions.
Without the billions and with heavy sanctions Israel economy would completely tank. The chance of the leadership to abandon Zionism is 0
Point is they’ll keep being zionists even if they’re broke
Point is even when they keep being zionists israel can't maintain occupation forever without the USA and western countries support
Those Jewish settlers don’t need billions
The settlers can't defend themselves without Israel they are the biggedt cowards, israel can't keep maintaining occupation and maintsin settlements without the West support
The US has actively supported all of this shit for the better part of a century. Frankly, yesterday, I felt like, shit maybe I shouldn't feel so bad about all of this, because this is going to be the end of the American hegemony. Like, at least that's the silver lining, we're finally going to be free of America's global military thumb.
But then I remember, if America falls, the world is full of hyenas and jackals and lions that are already nibbling at the ankles, and we'll see a collapse into war and bloodshed when that one jenga piece that held the tower together is removed.
Nice try Marco
Bottom line is, best case scenario- we're completely fucked.
Yes, annexation is not something the White House can support right now… but definitely will support when plans for Trump West Bank Resort are announced.
