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.

When was the last time USA sent that much support during which Israel was bombing Gaza, anyone? anyone?
I don't know about you, but I'm now starting to consider something is being cooked.
The following is all speculation and beyond what little they officially say all we can do is to speculate at this point, but the first hint is how the Hamas terrorist attack surprised every intelligence agency out there.
Egypt only vaguely warned of “something big going to happen”. The Mossad also surely has Palestinian informants in Gaza and yet didn’t manage to get any intel about the attack. That’s not normal at all, and no I don’t think Iran is all that powerful to be able to help Hamas not only coordinate the attack but to also do the preparations in a way that went unnoticed by intelligence agencies for a long time.
My money for now is on Russia being directly involved to open a new front against the West and distract from Ukraine, otherwise the orders by the UK and the US to send warships there make no sense, the US just sent its second carrier today.
Not sure why you are being downvoted. Of course Russia is involved. They are allied with Iran and Hamas is a proxy for Iran. The next action will be in Asia unless cooler heads prevail.
It’s just a simple thing with russia: they always support the right opposite of what USA supports even at the cost of supporting terrorists such as Hamas. That’s simply sad.
