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.
-
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.

Yes. Democrats and Independents both favor conditioning arms sales to Israel and say . Republicans don't matter. There may also be questions that ask "do you support Israel" that also have a majority, but that's not the question at hand (whether to continue supporting their war effort). And even if you shift to argue that the American opinion is mixed, that's very much not overwhelmingly favoring continuing our role in the genocide.

To quote: "Have you ever even looked at polls? Lmao."
These heavily qualified opinions are all entirely shared by Joe Biden. Because as I said, Joe Biden will do and say literally whatever is most popular. That’s his entire schtick.
So thanks for proving my point. Children.
He's literally not doing what's most popular. If he was we'd be reducing and/or conditioning military aid, the position supported by a majority of the population. What are you even talking about?
Wild that people can act condescending when just patently saying the wrong thing after being shown the exact data that proves them wrong.
Your inability to make sense of polling data — again, these polls don’t even target LIKELY VOTERS — is why Trump and Netanyahu exist. Because opposition to these monsters is crippled by hysterical people who cause nothing but infighting and chaos.
