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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Nah, Israel does JACK SHIT for the US militarily speaking. It's one way relationship. No bases or Israeli assets have ever been available to the US.
They provided NOTHING during the Gulf War other than being a wedge and diplomatic liability. The US had to send a bunch of assets into the empty Iraqi desert (thus weakening main front) just to hunt SCUDs taking pot shots at Israel.
They are the most ungrateful pieces of shits. And they openly respond with THREATS whenever America shows even the slightest hesitation on giving them anything and everything they want (Not long ago Pollard on was on an Israeli TV show bragging about threatening the US with the same nuclear weapons he helped create!)
And just recently Trump inquired about Israel contributing troops or support (because the US military is a joke now) FOR A WAR THEY ASKED THE US TO START and they said "lol no." And that dumb pedophile just keeps licking their assholes.
And also being slavish Israeli enablers has had massive detrimental to US relationship with Arab allies (who the real power brokers in the region) and has made itself a target by proxy.
This just scratches the surface of how shitty Israel is to the US.
The attacked the USS Liberty as well, for example.
Israel should be declared persona non grata, and ceremoniously kicked off our fucking welfare the second a Democrat takes office. I'm tired of funding these ungrateful deadbeat, genocidal assholes.
