Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Captured Congress, doesn’t matter which side when it comes to Israel.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sad but true. Democrats are slightly better, but not much.

"Forming a task force" man, go fuck yourself. Do these assholes even know what's going on over there?

Fucking dicks

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 72 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Dems since the 1970s: "We need a two state solution"

Palestinians: "We're applying for statehood"

Dems: "No"

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

By "two state" we meant "Israel and Israel".

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago (1 children)

10 years from now the task force report comes out. "It was a genocide somebody should have stopped it. Let's form a new task force to figure out who was at fault."

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The cartoonish evil is a feature, not a bug. The dems have held massive control over who's in power for decades. I don't care anymore if it's evil or stupid to field candidates guaranteed to turn the population right, it leads to the same outcome. They gain enough from having a big persecutin', government-controlling daddy like Trump that it doesn't matter, they have zero intention to change.

"Oh noes, we can't do all the things you poors and empathetic humans want, don't you know Trump is in charge?" (Something Hakeem Jefferies has basically said, referencing the American people making a "mandate" for Trumpism.)

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 6 points 11 months ago

oh they're well aware but like the majority of first world nations, heaven forbid you upset Israel. Just look at the UK. you get arrested for even mentioning or wearing a t shirt with the P and/or G word.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 64 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

So our choices are Nazi's or genocidal maniacs. Fuck the DNC.

[–] KindnessisPunk@piefed.ca 50 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No they're both genocidal maniacs, one also dabbles on the homefront.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 42 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The only time Democrats and Republicans in congress can put aside differences is when it's to support Israel or fuck over progressive candidates.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

As though democrats do anything else.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago

as if they are the same, uniparty.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 35 points 11 months ago

Do you guys think Jeffrey Epstein was the first or the only guy using videos of United States politicians engaging in pedophelia to blackmail them for Israel?

Do you think Tom Artiom Alexandrovich knew Epstein, or his associates/handlers in Israel?

[–] cmeu@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is why people say during elections that it doesn't matter which partythey vote for

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It made it easier for the Nazis to walk in the front door.

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 11 months ago

There's bipartisan support to keep arming fascists. The nazis are calling from inside the house.

[–] cmeu@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I think the point is that there's Nazis and there's flamboyant Nazis. Aye is pronounced the same on both sides of the aisle, as evidence by their voting records.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

To the surprise of no one.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Democrats will negotiate with anyone except the victims of a genocide.

[–] LoveTrumpsHate@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Not true. They will negotiate with anyone wealthy, powerful, and who donate to them like the AIPAC. It just so happens that the victims of genocide tend to not fall into that group.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What about republicans? How did they vote?

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

Exactly the same as the Democrats. Uniparty strikes again!

[–] CrackedLinuxISO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 11 months ago

Given that it was an internal DNC vote... they didn't

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Oh, so now they can stop things. I see.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

forming a task force with a diverse set of stakeholders to discuss the matter further

I guess we can just infer what this means...
