Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

Lemme guess, a Bluesky post saying: "Stop it, right now!".

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

Always with a bunch of comments genuinely praising them for it like it's not entirely performative. Like seriously I kinda hope those are bots.

We're going to get serious if you kill another quarter million women and children. You just watch it.

They'll write a stern letter that threatens an even sterner follow up letter if they don't comply!

Keep killing! Why not!

Press X to doubt.

Agnes Bertrand Sanz of Oxfam said: “There are moments in history where delay and distraction are not neutral, it is a decision.

“While EU ministers continue to debate and defer, entire families in Gaza are being buried under rubble and people are being killed while trying to get food. Every second of delay costs lives.”

The association agreement, which came into force in 2000, underpins a trading relationship worth €68bn (£58bn) between the 27 EU countries and Israel. The bloc is Israel’s largest market, accounting for about a third of its exports.

EU brandishes a wet lettuce leaf in warning

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Well they won't improve. Your move EU.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

The EU making a joke at their own expense.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They sure may. But will they?

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

"May" is such a weasel word. I would be shocked if they actually do something.

[–] MetalMachine@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago

I'll believe when I see it

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Oh they’ll improve… once Israel has wiped out all the Palestinians and they start rebuilding it for themselves.
