The president reiterated that the U.S. is trying to push for an immediate cease-fire between Hamas and Israel in order to allow more aid into Gaza.

        Israel builds their own weapons and have for many years. The US and many others but them though and that supports them.

          Not only does the United States supply Israel with weaponry, it also provides them with literally billions of dollars for military spending, which it’s able to spend in its own military industry. It’s pretty fucked up.

              Pretty sure that quit being true round 1985. At this point, even with no military aid, it’s a “real country” and ending it would be expensive in every sense of the word for all trying.

                A recent U.S. intelligence estimate indicated that Israel’s current weapons stockpiles only enables it to wage war against Gaza for an additional 19 weeks, unless Washington sends more ammunition.

                  196 other countries and no where to buy ammunition? Kay.

              Russia aiding Israel would probably place it in opposition to Iran. This might actually be a good time to move support from israel to ukraine and just see what happens.

                Countries don’t have friends, they have interests. If Iran has to choose between Russia and Palestine that’s not good for Palestine.

          I would say the us would make a lot happen if Israel shot down one of our planes.

          But you have a point, this is a little different though.

          There is no way to claim they didn’t know this time

          Yup…Israel said Hamas was flying the supply planes from the US. They were right when they said that it was actually Hamas that blew up every single hospital in Gaza, so I have no reason to doubt them. (/s, for the fucking jamokes would believe this, or any bullshit Israel spews, to be true)

        Every service member is entitled to defend themselves. Some do it by launching flares. Others do it by firing anti radiation missiles at any missile system doing enough to target them.

        But honestly, the Israelis aren’t going to do that. They aren’t cartoon villains. They are smart and know exactly what they want and how to get there.

          Yeah cartoon villains usually don’t commit genocide, and see the thing here is that Israel has no fucking clue how to get where they want to go and they are blindly engaging in mass violence that will ensure Israel will be unsafe for decades to come (can you imagine how badly you would want to hurt the people who murdered your entire family for no reason?).

          You can be veryyyyy smart and still be a fascist at the same time unfortunately.

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.

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.
