A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Iran has constantly proved itself the more rational and mature actor in the Middle East compared to Israel.
Yet we allow Israel to have nukes while we sanction the fuck out of Iran.
Hmm 🤔
They launched a massive attack on Israel, Israel responded with a very small and limited strike. Iran have been funding terrorist proxy groups for decades. They also treat their own people and women horrifically.
Hate Israel all you want, but cheerleading for an Islamic theocracy is stupid.
It's strange how you're ignoring the fact that Israel attacked first. Iran retaliated, and did so after warning Israel of exactly what it was going to do so it could prepare. It did this even though Israel attacked Iran without a similar warning and assassinated an Iranian general.
Iran's response has been tepid and measured because it doesn't want to start WW3. Israel, on the other hand, very clearly does.
did you forget that irans attack came after israel attacked an iranian embassy unprovoked
No one is cheerleading but just like Israel can protect itself so can Iran, your feelings about their politics aside if you strike a sovereign nation you should absolutely expect a stroke in return if not scale war.
In response to their Embassy being bombed they launched a few outdated rockets and drones that they gave a week's warning of. Excuse me if I don't view that as legitimate threat.
I hate that Israel has nukes, but I don't know that it's a matter of "allow." Once a country has nukes, taking them away is not going to be very doable. Especially not now after Russia broke its nuclear weapons deal with Ukraine.
That's the problem with nukes. Once the genie is out of the bottle, it doesn't go back in. That's why, if Iran does end up developing one, it will either be another MAD situation with Israel or they will both nuke each other into oblivion. There's really no other option on the table.
I mean, I think the MAD situation between the USSR and the US had some success around mutual disarmament, no? Neither of them are devoid of nukes, now, but if I remember, the days of the world being nuked several times over in the event of ww3 is now long gone as a possibility. I dunno, this is obviously a pretty different situation, and that was kind of, not a fluke, but due to some pretty specific and complicated factors, I think. I dunno, I guess I'm just saying it's more of a matter of degree than kind of being such an all-or-nothing thing, which is how most people would perceive it.
Yeah... I wouldn't say that.

Damn what the fuck
By that token Israel should have lost its nukes after funding Hamas. Far too irrational for nuke privileges
My understanding is that Netanyahu allowed for funding from foreign nations to reach Hamas, but the money was largely coming from Iran. Did Israel directly fund Hamas?
Also, somewhat ironically, Iran is the nation who provided money to Hamas while Netanyahu facilitated the transaction. Most people probably thought we were talking about the Houthis in this context, who were allegedly created by Iranian intelligence operations in Yemen while Saudi Arabia was allegedly doing the same with a different group.
