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. 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.

Complete mischaracterization of the truth. Hey! Finally something conservatives and Lemmy users can bond over!
What exactly was wrong with that post? Is the US not providing military aid to Israel? Did ambulances and refugee camps not get bombed?
The “oh hell yes” part. Biden has been calling for Israel to ease up and clearly isn’t supportive of their barbaric tactics, but can’t just cut all funding due to the fact that we have long supported Israel and they’re a key ally of ours in the region.
That apparently is a little too nuanced for folks here though.
He can tell them to cut it out. Reagan did it.

"Please stop because support is eroding" and "Stop or I won't support you" are completely different statements with different meanings and implications.
If a kid is shooting up a school, and I keep providing him ammunition as he's doing it, am I just an innocent bystander? The US has the power to put conditions on the aid given. They do it for Ukraine.
I'm not going to draw you a diagram of this complex situation. If you can't be bothered to acknowledge its nuances and see that Biden's position is definitively not a "oh hell yes" to Israel's war crimes, no amount of explaining will change your mind.
What has Biden done to stop Israel? Yes, he's said he wants a ceasefire, but the US vetoing the UN resolution for a ceasefire, sending warships to the area to prevent anyone else from attacking Israel, sending Israel military aid, and continuing to insist Israel "has a right to defend itself" when the death toll is close to 10:1 Palestinians to Israelis all go in the "hell yes" column. I'm genuinely curious what actions you believe go in the "no" column. What has the US done to stop Israel?
Edit: downvoted with no reply. Thanks. That's exactly the answer I expected.
