A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Yes that will help, sanction the people responsible for calling out war crimes when they.......call out war crimes.
I'm trying to wrap my head around how devoted to this you must be to jeopardize your reelection.
No one I know supports Israels actions, no one I know supports hamas actions. Everyone I know agrees it is genocide.
Their subservience to Israel is an insult to everything the United States is supposed to stand for. Joe Biden hates America and you know it's true because he unconditionally supports the state of Israel.
Just for the sake of balance, Republicans also unconditionally support the state of Israel, and are, if anything, even more uniformly enthusiastic for its actions in Gaza and the West Bank than Democrats. Americans have no good electoral options on this issue.
I don't believe that is true.
Whether it is global politics, the second coming, or just something out of my sphere I don't understand it.
America has lost its independence from the crown by way of Israel's ties to the British and our shackling to THEIR geopolitical constructs by way of the Balfour declaration and the catastrophic administration of mandatory Palestine. The corporatized political economic laundry machine between the 3 (UK/I/USA) completely undermines any democratically rooted ability of the popular states to regulate colonial influence. "Where we go one, we go all." The world is in for some incredibly dark times ahead.
America's acting like the former apartheid South Africa and Russia right now.
Isn’t south africa doing the right thing this time around? Something about “we know an apartheid state when we see one”.
That's fair. I will amend my statement to say the "former" SA gov't.
Who was supporting South Africa back then? The US and Israel.
You'd almost say it is...
Fascism...
It's crazy how profoundly immoral and blind to so much suffering our country is. This mindset will be the end of the US as we know it.
The rest of the world should sanction these US-based thugs and shame them constantly on the media. It's infuriating to see them commit all these atrocities and then smugly pretend to be the heroes.
They kill off international law and then act all surprised when autocracies do crimes.
If heads of state can be held responsible for war crimes in the middle east, it sets a dangerous precedent for the US.
Real mafia
This is the best summary I could come up with:
“We reject the prosecutor’s equivalence of Israel with Hamas,” Mr Blinken said, warning that the decision could jeopardise efforts to have a ceasefire in Gaza, agree a hostage exchange deal and increase humanitarian aid for the starving Palestinians.
At a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday, Mr Blinken was asked if he would support legislation aimed at preventing the world court from “sticking its nose in the business of countries that have an independent, legitimate, democratic judicial system”.
The US sanctioned ICC officials Fatou Bensouda and Phakiso Mochochoko in 2020 for seeking to investigate alleged war crimes in Afghanistan.
The latest ICC war crimes allegations are “significant”, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said in a statement, adding that “the application for arrest warrants is merely the beginning of a judicial process”.
Mr Netanyahu, on his part, has labelled the ICC’s decision to seek arrest warrants against him and his defence minister “a complete distortion of reality”.
Meanwhile, the leaders of Norway, Ireland and Spain have said their countries will formally recognise Palestine as a state for the sake of “peace in the Middle East”, Al Jazeera reported.
