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.

They're supposed to realize Trump will have a Muslim ban and take away their rights and then go full on genocide using US troops to help Isreal do it more efficiently and then probably throw all Muslims into camps to be reconditioned or worked to death. I don't know what they expect biden to do, I don't claim to understand geopolitics but I'm pretty sure it would be a disaster for the US to end relations with Isreal.
Yeah and that's a problem for Biden to solve. If he wants to avert the disaster then he should stop his support for Israel.
No step on snek
If Trump wins, Biden cannot stop Trump's Muslim ban. Trump has said he will deport Muslims. If that's what you want, vote for Trump.
If this is not what Biden wants, he shouldn't support a genocide.
Your choice is selling weapons to Israel under Biden, or immediate deportation of Muslims under Trump to be killed by Trump's US troops.
That's the choice. You can scream and say, "But but but, what if the world were different. What if we could somehow make the world different?"
Too bad.
I think it's horrible but if Trump wins and he carries out his plan to deport and kill Muslims, I'll laugh at you fools just like those who didn't vote for Gore in 2000. But really you are a Putin puppet so whatever.
Oh? I thought it was the choice of the people... The people may not want to vote for another genocide supporter. Maybe they won't vote at all?
In your version of this, Biden gets away with anything just because Trump exists. You don't want Trump to win? Why not run independently? 😬
That's what I said, the choice of the people is between Biden who will let Israel buy weapons and Trump who has said he will be dictator for a day to deport Muslims, just like he did before.
“In the wake of the attacks on Israel, Americans have been disgusted to see the open support for terrorists among the legions of foreign nationals on college campuses. They’re teaching your children hate,” he said. “Under the Trump administration, we will revoke the student visas of radical anti-American and antisemitic foreigners at our colleges and universities and we will send them straight back home.” -Donald Trump Oct 17 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/17/trump-muslim-ban-gaza-refugees
In response, Israel has been shelling Gaza and carrying out airstrikes that have killed thousands of Palestinians:
"Sometimes you have to let things play out."

Not voting is you proclaiming, "But but but what if the world was nicer to me!"
I think people with your kind of opinion ruin democracy because they rob voters of a choice. Putting the blame on voters rather than politicians is rubbish.
49% of US voters want Trump. That's not Trump's fault. That's the voter's fault.
