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.

Don't think so, think this will just result in the complete erasure of Palestine with no reprecussions.
Can't really oppose the US, at least not in any meaningful way.
We thought Assad was to stay in Syria and most countries were looking to reestablish/normalize ties. A month later he was gone.
It always feels impossible until the regime falls. But all power structures are fundamentally based on no relevant number of people challenging them. And the US always needs to feel it is worth to support Israel. Once that changes and the US drops Israel, it will fall apart in weeks, if it didn't fall apart until then from its internal rot.
I don’t see how that’s a comparable situation. The regime has been strengthened by this move and has the full backing of the most powerful military to have ever existed.
Why would Trump drop Israel? Seems far more likely he’ll push them to pursue their imperial goals and expand greater Israel so they can have even more influence in the region. What’s anyone going to do to stop them?
As it stands Israel had to accept a ceasefire process for Gaza, which is pracitcally identical to what was proposed almost a year ago, but Biden didnt apply any pressure. It increased the rifts inside Israels society and parts of the current government coalition left.
That is a huge defeat for the Israeli government and they wouldnt have accepted it, if there wasnt tangible pressure behing it, e.g. the US cutting off the Arms and Money. Also Biden made a point of quickly passing another few billions to Israel iirc. in November or December, so he also must have feared them to run dry under Trump.
Most political analysts say that Trump believes in zero sum deals. Israel is a strategic, financial and diplomatic liability to the US. If it is about having a military base in the region Trump could easily strike a deal with another country around.
Also looking at what typical MAGA heads like Tucker Carlson say, the sentiment towards Israel among the Republicans has changed. More people ask the question, why they should pay up for Israels bullshit. When "The backing of the most powerful military" in practice becomes Videos of American kids being killed, so Israelis can enjoy watching from the beach-side café how the US is expanding their empire, the mood will turn sour quickly.
They accepted it because it was a better deal for israel, one the right-wing factions who were blocking the ceasefire were happy to accept
