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.

He's just covering his ass now that the impunity is becoming less absolute. For 19 months he was, like most of his depraved countrymen, perfectly fine with killing babies as a hobby.
I'm just hoping this means things are finally turning around.
he might be very very imperfect, but let's focus on getting the enemy, not the imperfect ally
There is no significant domestic constraint on Israel's genocidal policies. The military and political establishment are unified in the elimination project. The population are broadly supportive or indifferent. The 'enemy' is the entire state.
I'd still consider him a lesser enemy
Wow. Cool it with the antisemitic tropes there bud. /s
Come to new instance [email protected] for more articles like this. I post 10-20 per day.

Nah I'm good, thanks
i know three of these people. think im gonna keep it that way
I know a few more. There are a few there that I still have some respect for. But anyone with a mind so open they like Tucker Carlson done had their brain fall out. That sure as hell isn't a place for anyone who values facts logic out reason.
I enjoyed some of Glen Greenwald’s old pieces, it’s a shame to see him now.
I haven't heard of Greenwald since the Snowden files. What happened to him?
He’s published Trump apologia, Russia apologia, you name it.
Not really. He just does not blindly praise Democrats. He still calls out Trump every 5 minutes. But Democrats cannot handle it when both sides get flak.
Good move. If you want to save time you can read the front page of RT and get the same opinions.
I saw a post about you on [email protected], I’m good.
Thanks for this, not sure I can block an instance but I can block this tankie loser.
Great community but you should probably remove Tucker Carlson from the list. Also Breaking Points is missing.
I actually love Breaking Points. Good... point.
And he did not?
He did but he was big sad when he did it. Very big sad. But it was necessary because of the khamas of course. Super big sad.
