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.

He already restricted visas for extremist settlers in the west bank. Making all further aid dependent on curbing the fuckery in this area is probably the way to go. It's pretty unlikely that the US can do more than delay strikes by Israel when it comes to further actions in Gaza, they don't have nearly as much control over them as everyone makes it seem.

I'll tell that to that mother in Rafah who's trying to scrape what's left of her kid into a bucket, having gone there because Israel told her it was the safe place to evacuate to after she followed Israeli orders to evacuate to Khan Younis and was bombed there as well..
@100_percent_a_bot @TheAlbatross
No, but the US can sure as hell stop contributing to it. Then, they can go further and stop protecting them at the UN.
Why would they do that? The UN is like 50 Muslim countries, pretty much all of them theocracratic dictatorships. They usually vote as a block against Israel which is pretty bs considering there is one jewish state with one voice.
@100_percent_a_bot Israel is committing genocide, we don't give a flying fuck about their opinion
Assad killed like two million people in his own country, many of them with fkin nerve gas. Where are the people calling this a genocide? Where's the condemnation by the Arab league? They don't give a shit and they wouldn't say a word if it was Egypt who was taking out hamas in Gaza right now.
@100_percent_a_bot One issue is that we're funding Israel's genocide. You skipped over that part. Conveniently.
It's time to cut Israel off
@100_percent_a_bot That's horrible!!! How many billions did America give him to do that?
... Awkward
Israel exists by the grace of the US. Cut off aid and it ceases to be.

They do though. As well as essentially paying them to do it, they sit on the UN Security Council and veto everything raised against this genocide.
There seems to be this thing where the mainstream media tries to appease anti-murder voters by insisting that Joe "I Am A Zionist" Biden is really trying hard to find a solution to this and he'll get there eventually, but in the mean time his hands are tied and he has to keep picking up the tab for Israel. But like, really guys, any minute now he's gonna stop because secretly he agrees with you that this is wrong. He just can't stop now. Like, he could. He could just stop sending them money. But he can't. But he will soon. But not now. Because he can't.
Doesn't congress send the money? Also although I think Zionism is inherently flawed thinking, but you can be a zionist and not support genocide. Nothing about being a Zionist implies the state must grow or do anything in particular other than being a Jewish ethnostate.
A two state solution was and is the only way there will be a modicum of peace, and no, it will not be fair.
He bypasses congress to send military aid.
Also how do you get an ethnostate on other peoples land without genocide?
Don't alter the headline. He bypasses Congress by not sending aid but rather by selling the weapons. Israel is paying for it, even if it's wholesale prices on ammunition components.
Thats aiding them.
It's literally not, like actually. Google it.
That said, dude didn't illegally bypass Congress, they gave the president that authority in the 70s and expanded upon it under bush. I don't agree with it, I think he shouldn't have done it and that it shouldn't even be possible. It is absolutely something to legitimately critique Biden for, but it is not bypassing congress in some loophole thing.
It literally is, like materially. My point wasnt that he is doing something illegal, my point is that he is aiding Israel by giving them bombs at discount prices.
The existence of that ethnostate was built on the nakba and the continued subjugation of Palestinians and their Jewish allies.
Want an ethnostate? Go take it from Germany. God knows they deserve it at least.
Zionism requires the wiping of a culture and people to replace it with another. There is no form of Zionism which is not genocidal.
Zionism needs a Nakba and an Apartheid state, otherwise it wouldn't be Zionism. So no, being Zionist means in one way or another supporting genocide.
Zionism in 2024 is the belief that nobody other than Ashkenazi Jews are allowed to live in Palestine. However you get to that point, well that's just secularism! /s
Oooooooh I tell you if you keep committing genocide I'm gonna get frustrated! Reeaaal frustrated!
Is he frustrated with Israel or with the political capital this is costing him?
These titles always make me imagine Biden waking up one morning in presidential pyjamas saying: oh man, really frustrates me! Anyways...
"Anyways... here's 50 billion dollars to buy more weapons and munitions."
The US foreign policy for Israel in a nutshell:
C'mon... do something...
When I give my kids a box of chocolates and tell them to take it easy.
Stop sending weapons then.
It's like telling someone not to gamble while giving him money/credit for the slot machine
Strongly worded responses don’t mean anything. I’m looking for threats, nay, just complete cease of any type of support.
Cut the bastard off completely
Looks like a plastic surgery ad…
Good heavens Biden is frustrated! Oh Lord what's about to happen??!!! 🤯
He's about to become dismayed
All for the camera of course. Behind the scenes he doesn't give two craps about whatever Israel does.
To those wandering, WE ARE TOO! FUCK HIM SO SO SO MUCH!
WE DON'T WANT TO BE THERE ANYMORE - IT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT ANY OF THE KIDNAPPED IS STILL ALIVE, AND EQUALLY UNLIKELY THAT HAMAS WOULD AGREE TO A DEAL.
HAMAS WILL TAKE A FUCKING DECADE TO RE-ARM ITSELF , WE HAVE TOTALLY REACHED THE "IT'S POINTLESS" STAGE.
FUUUUCKKK THIS GUY AND FUCK THE ASSHOLES THAT CHOSE THOSE EXTREMELY RIGHTWING NUTJOBS
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
"don't. stop. you don't need all those carbs. that cheesecake was for everyone..."
Biden it's just the Zionists muppet..
He must be exploding with frustration; every second article about him is about his growing frustration. It must be frustrating to be that frustated.
