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, blogs, 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.

He signed an executive order on Thursday, saying violence had reached "intolerable levels".

The sanctions will block the individuals from accessing all US property and other assets.

Violence in the West Bank has spiked since Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel.

What scrambles my brain is he won't even do the most basic shit. Like okay Gazans are starving because Aid is being blocked. Why aren't we tying our weapons deliveries to the flow of Aid?

Even if you believe the IDF is the most moral military on the planet (laugh, snort) this is an obvious measure to make sure there isn't a famine. And the IDF could have pretended they did it willingly if they had done this in December when we knew it was a problem!

But nope. Is there a Biden pee tape? What in the actual hell is going on?

Why aren’t we tying our weapons deliveries to the flow of Aid?

Because the point of the weapons delivers is to kill Gazans, not save them. This isn't a bug, its a feature. Genocide and permanent depopulation of Arabs in the Gaza strip is the entire purpose of this military operation.

Biden has been an Israel die-hard since the 70s and he's only grown more intractable with age.

Ugh, I want to puke. This isn't the country I grew up in, but apparently it was.

He scratched the back of the Jewish community enough to be able to argue for their vote. Now he's got to contend with all the people that actually don't want The US to support Israeli genocide against Palestine. Politicians be politicking.

The Zionist Jewish community isn't integral to his re-election.

Just to clarify, until the suspension of funding, the US was giving aid.

Just not to the Palestinian government. It is illegal for a president to give aid directly to a terrorist state.

Lmaololololololol.

UNRWA couldn't get any aid into Gaza. The IDF has been blocking them. Talking about payments to buy food is useless if the food cannot be delivered.

GTFO here with the third deliberately stupid take I've seen you publish today.

[–] bramblepatchmystery@slrpnk.net -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We can agree that the Palestininian's need food absolutely.

But blocking an organization.after that organization was involved in.a terror attack seems a bit obvious doesn't it?

But let me guess, it's also Israel's fault that UNRWA allowed themselves to be infiltrated, isn't it?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We cut off UNRWA at the mere accusation they had some employees that were involved, not leadership or the organization at large.

But we continue to support Israel through what amounts to hundreds of credible accusations and statements by their leadership showing this is on purpose.

Make that make sense.
