I think in any civilized country a foreign country directly electioneering for one political party would be illegal and sanction-worthy. Israeli arrogance continues to astound.
Well luckily for them, they electioneer for both political parties.
While I agree this shit sucks, I think it is very naive to assume powerful countries don't routinely meddle in the elections of weaker peers with impunity.
The most recent elections in Columbia and Brazil are textbook examples of this. Nobody is going to punish the Bolsonaros now that they're in power.
Are you a time traveller? Why are you talking about tomorrow's election in the past tense?
The Parliament is already decided. I think three different Bolsonaros are currently in the Congress.
Nobody is going to punish the Bolsonaros now that they’re in power.
They said the same about Ceausescu and Gaddafi.
And a mere 40 years later...
So you are saying Israel is a powerful country and USA is its weaker peer? I'd agree with that.
The corrupt US admin astounds, too.
Because Israel is a parasite living off the US treasury.
A parasite living off a parasite living off everyone on the planet.
I'm in Iowa and yep, I've been getting mailers 1-2 times a week for the past month that are "vote republican because they stand up for Israel" type messaging. I don't have TV though so can't comment on commercials.
The trans panic stuff still outnumbers the pro-Israel messaging about 3:1. "So and so DemocRAT candidate voted to let MEN into GIRLS' bathrooms!!!! Therefore, vote for Trump's guy!"
USA 🇺🇸 soon to be United States of Israel 🇮🇱💀.
don't forger the Gulf of M̶e̶x̶i̶c̶o̶ Israel, New M̶e̶x̶i̶c̶o̶ Israel, and Lake O̶n̶t̶a̶r̶i̶o̶ Israel
People have no idea how embedded Israel is in the USA.
Around here or in Iowa?
Everywhere
Well that just isn't true. I for one knew, and many more; esp. in the fediverse.
I really don't like sweeping generalisations.

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.
-
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.
