World News
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.

May?
I think they mean in legal terms. It would have to be established that they provide them with material support or facilitation.
Edit in case this isn't clear, the above sentence is about explaining the point made by the lawyers in the article about international law.
In my personal opinion the US has been complicit in everything Israel does in this context, and "soft power" is part of that as well as material aid.
You sound like a spineless dolt.
There is a vetted plan submitted to the federal government asking for 30 billion dollars to END homeless in America.
End it.
Our "democrat" progressive overlord just sent 50 billion dollars to Israel to blow up innocent people.
Stop with your bullshit.
Trump is HORRIBLE. Biden has been sickeningly absent, but now Biden is HORRIBLE.
Why? Because they both are The Party, and The Party is HORRIBLE. And if you aren't a millionaire+, you aren't a part of The Party. You just cook their meals, drive their cars, landscape their properties, and get the back hand if you call out their bullshit.
@Melkath I think you replied to the wrong comment?
For reference I'm not from the US and I am highly opposed to:
a) Israeli colonization of the West Bank b) human rights abuses perpetrated against the civillians of Gaza c) the US paying for/ supporting anything to do with the above.
I'm sorry for the US's internal troubles you mention too of course (and its weird, old presidents) but that's not what this thread is about, and I'm not much interested in discussing them.
You're injecting legal drivel to minimize events that have now occurred.
Either you are an opportunistic asshole, an unwitting weasle who needs to find lands to burrow under that aren't quite as land bearing, or you are a spineless prick who will soften the foundation of the master you surrendered your spine to.
Admittedly, I'm having a hard time being cordial in internet conversations these days, but I am pretty sure my second paragraph isn't patently false.
You really need to chill mate.
You asked “May?” implying that you are questioning why it may be complicate and they replied that they think that the article means he may be legally complicit which has a specific requirement that they helpfully provided.
They didn’t inject the “legal drivel” the original article did. You’re arguing against things that they didn’t say.
And you really need to gaggle my ball sack.
Joe Biden just invested 50 billion dollars into genocide and told everyone to sit and spin on it.
But who are you arguing with? Nobody in the thread disagrees with you.
You're being an asshole. People were having a conversation on topic, and you have been aggressive and accusatory nonstop.
@Melkath ha ha ha nah that's a real swing and a miss.
OP's article is literally about lawyers talking about international law.
I was simply clarifying the point in the article because as you point out the headline "may" makes no sense from a layperson's perspective if you haven't read the article.
Not sure why you're projecting onto me.
