Israel is obviously in charge here. The tail wags the dog. It’s humiliating, frankly. A powerful country debased by a tiny group of ideological extremists.

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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

The USA is in charge and want you to believe to opposite. Israel is nothing without the billions of dollars and arms the US give them. When trump said israel should stop the war with Iran they stopped because Trump want to protect it proxy to serve the US imperialism .
Yeah. Trump isn't trying to stop bombing of Gaza. He's trying to setup a means to remove Palestinians and build hotels. How many times does the US have to lie before people get that Israel is nothing but an extension of US imperialism.
And he won’t say shit
Because it is another Trump trick
They grabbed him by the pussy.
If you have them on tape with Epstein little girls, they let you do it.
Huh. Who would have guessed that would happen? /s
Of course they strike Gaza. There are still people living in there they think need to be exterminated.
This is preemptive on purpose. They told him they're going to bomb, he asks them if they need more bombs, they say yes, he sells them more bombs then says "stop bombing!". Rinse, repeat.
It's just business, they dgaf. External communication to give it a semblance of propriety while the deals happen behind closed doors.
Same thing as he's been doing with Russia.
Other world leaders have no respect for Trump. They won't make peace just because he's asking for it to get a Nobel prize. They're only using him to get what they want.
It's funny, in December I kept seeing people who said just having Trump in the white house would end all the wars. He didn't actually have to do anything, but because he's so irrational, world leaders who make peace everywhere from fear of Trump doing something stupid.
Turns out, no one fears Trump. No one gives half a shit about USA. Everyone knows USA is about to be plenty preoccupied with a fascist coup, and won't have the personell to oppress their people and the world at the same time.
