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.
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.

God damnit Israel..
Netanyahoo needs an Interpol visit.
"All hell will break loose and all of the terrorists in the Middle East - the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iranian-backed terror proxies and Iran themselves - should take President Trump very seriously when he says he is not afraid to stand for law-abiding people."
I'm lost, which laws are we talking about here?
The law of the jungle
Israel having a normal one
Why wouldn’t the war resume as Hamas is still holding hostages and hasn’t yet surrendered? Does Gaza think Israel is just going to ignore the ~50 or so of their citizens still kept captive and let bygones be bygones?
Because you dont read news and ignore the number of “detainees” aka “hostages” in Israeli prisons.
Netanyahu's goals are to deny Palestinian statehood and form a greater Israel. He does not care about the hostages.
Seems netanyahu is not ready for jailtime in his fraud case. As long as there is war, there is a war cabinet and they can do the fuck they want. Plus he knows Trump will back him.
For fucks sake
"The Trump administration and the White House were consulted by the Israelis on their attacks on Gaza tonight and as President Trump has made clear to Hamas, the Houthis, Iran - all those who seek to terrorise not just Israel but the United States of America will see a price to pay," Leavitt said.
"All hell will break loose and all of the terrorists in the Middle East - the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iranian-backed terror proxies and Iran themselves - should take President Trump very seriously when he says he is not afraid to stand for law-abiding people."
I figured Trump would want to make peace with Iran since they're also a Russian ally. At some point I guess you have to choose and we're already too in deep with Israel to be neutral. So Trump will be supporting the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians and war to form a greater Israel against Iran and its proxies. That's awful, for a bit there I thought we might have accidentally allied with everyone in the Middle East. edit: added quotes
Israel is seeking to form a new alliance with Russia. They suggest Syria should allow for Russian bases again. Israel had demanded Ukraine to surrender to Russia back in 2022 and they sold drones to Russia between 2015-2017, which also were used in the full invasion of Ukraine.
Iran also sold drones to Russia and have been a longer ally than Israel. But I guess that doesn't really matter to dictatorships. Russia doesn't really need Iran anymore now that they have Israel and the US.
Iran hates Trump's guts since he killed their general in Iraq in his last term. They even wanted to assassinate him but were waiting for him to lose the election.
I wish they fucking would.
Yeah, but I would think the Iranian leadership would rather have the US at their beck and call than as an enemy trying to wipe them off the face of the Earth no?
edit: It probably wasn't up to Iran. Russia could be backstabbing them for the shiny new toy that is a fascist Israel.
On what? The refugees? There's nothing left but rubble.
They won't stop until all Palestinians are dead or refugees elsewhere. That's been the plan all along.
