World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

I really hate that the administration is doubling down on one of Biden's most unpopular (2021) (2024) positions. This feels like exact opposite of what they should do to gain more support in swing states for the election when it comes to foreign policy.
This is his most unpopular position? Maybe to far leftists, but the article you linked relating to 2024 numbers says this:
Twice as many adults under 30 as those 65 and older think the US must stop supporting Israel’s war in Gaza (23% vs. 11%).
Twice as many adults 65 and older as those under 30 think the US must support Israel’s war unconditionally (26% vs. 13%).
Now I'm not saying that 23% of the population is insignificant, but that's not 23% of the overall population, but only the sub 30 population, the population most likely to support Gaza over Israel in the first place. Based on the data, the overwhelming majority of people (77-89% depending on demographic) don't give a shit if Biden supports Israel, and a good portion of those thinks that not only should Biden support Israel, but he should so so unconditionally.
Now I'm not making an statements about who's right or wrong insofar as policy is concerned with the Israeli genocide, but what I'm saying is that the vast majority of people outside of your echo chamber (sadly) do not give a shit, even if they should.
Pluralities across all age groups think the United States must make its support for Israel’s war effort conditional on reaching a ceasefire, with adults under 30 the most likely to think so. There is certainly a generational divide, but I think you're misinterpreting the data if you think 77-89% don't care.
Here are 3 other polls, 2 from May and another from Nov 2024. The last one is the one I initially linked. I've screen capped graphs from the polls within the spoilers
