A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.

Reported a few times as an Opinion piece, but when it comes to stories like this, I lean heavily on the rule:
Opinion pieces MAY be removed. They aren't automatically removed.
The story here is a direct quote from Netanyahu which raises it above opinion or speculation.
"I spoke yesterday with Vice President J.D. Vance. He called me from his plane on his way back from Islamabad. He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day, about the development of the negotiations."
Netanyahu must have the full unredacted Epstein files lol.
I mean, Epstein was deeply involved with Israeli intelligence
Epstein was raping terrified American girls for Israel
No doubt.
What's interesting is Bibi's use of the word 'report'. Very clearly saying publicly that Donald is his bitch.
Does it even matter at this point? Dude is a convicted criminal, and says awful things about women, posted an AI picture of himself as jesus, and his cult followers dont care
Pretty they could release all the worst epstein stuff and the cultists will shrug.
And his political opposition will continue letting him operate unchecked.
I'm really having a hard time finding trump supporters these days like I used to
The conservatives I know never have the time or desire to follow politics when a republicans president. They only have time for that nonsense when an evil democrat is in charge. It’s like magically all of their problems go away, even if they’re getting worse.
I think this is it. It was always about how bad kamala is / how bad hillary is / "let's go brandon"
Although I also think Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris ran similar campaigns "we're not Trump!"
The issue on the sanctity of life also sways a lot of votes.
I'm pretty sure he lost a few of his supporters after the AI picture of himself as Jesus.
I think the Epstein stuff is undeniable at this stage, but they choose not to believe it's as dirty and nasty as it was/is. I think if the full unredacted papers come out, there'll be a lot of disgusted Trump supporters. I think that even the anti-Trump group would still be shocked at the cold hard truth.
consider he/MOSSAD was behind the honeypots of billionaires and trump to begin with in order to manipulate western democracies to his will. Putin likely came later likely acquiring some krompromat after he became president. epstein also advised Putin how to control TRUMP in 2018, and a year later Epstein is dead.
He's got copies of the tapes
Just friendly reminder that Bibi's corruption trial would've started this week in Israel, but was conveniently delayed because of a forever war he is perpetuating.
It's like he and the people who could remove him have silently made a deal with the devil. He stays out of jail in exchange for a "Greater Israel". It's weird how fascism looks exactly like this every time. Like some sort of sociological defect, like ants in a death spiral.
Is Netanyahu saying Israel is pulling Trump's strings? That guy's repeating an anti-semitic conspiracy theory!
Its not antisemitic because its about the government of Israel, not all jews.
It's a joke about Zionists claiming anyone who says Israel persuaded Trump to do this stupid illegal war is antisemitic. Which is a claim Zionists are definitely making.
Wait! No one had the slightest idea Netanyahu forced/lured Trump into that war ?? /s
Kind of like this?
Somehow Netenyahu returned
Most cucked administration ever. American Century Of Humiliation.
It's a sad world
I don't understand why the United States needs Israel so much. why can't they just do regular types of diplomacy like economic trade agreements or whatever? what's the problem?
One obvious possibility: Israel is blackmailing American politicians to do what Israel wants. Epstein was an Israeli asset. The kid-diddle island was Israel collecting blackmailable people from politics, finance, entertainment -- all assets they could deploy later.
The Republican Party's files were hacked like a decade ago...right around the time a whole lot of anti-Trump Republicans (like Sen Graham SC) permanently changed their tune about Trump.
That's why American can't seem to quit Israel.
Christian Zionism. If Israel is armed to the teeth and encouraged into a bloody, protracted regional war, conservative evangelicals believe it will force Jesus to come back to Earth sooner than God was expected (because apparently an omnipotent and omnipresent deity can be tricked so easily), and thus usher in Armageddon.
I wish that was a joke. But it's not.
Of course that's only one reason. The real answer is a complex series of interdependent pieces. Christian Zionism, anti-Muslim paranoia, subconscious guilt over the Holocaust, wanting to appeal to conservative Christian and Jewish voters domestically, and now many politicians on both sides being deep in the pockets of ultra conservative Israeli power brokers via AIPAC.
i want to assume religion isn't a real reason for anything and it's more of a tool for manufacturing consent
I think it's 2 thing mainly.
God comes back, looks at Israel: "Fuck me, you murdered a lot of kids! Just because you're my chosen people, doesn't mean you can act like barbarians! Y'know what? Fuck it. I'm choosing the North Sentinelese".
probably the oil and natural gas, they cant have ME countries nationalizing and controlling thier own supply. thats why Iran is the pariah of the ME, because they broke from the US/UK during islamic revoltion as result of the SHAH regime which was installed by the US/UK to keep the supply of oil coming.
I'm wondering if the final collapse of an Empire being triggered by going into a war they cannot win which accelerates their Economic and social collapse, to serve the wishes of a much, much smaller country, is actually Historically unique.
Sure, getting some populist leader who then proceeds to mismanage everything and ends up doing some stupid shit with massive consequences that final torpedoes the once imperial nation down, is pretty common in History, but doing said "stupid shit" to serve the interests of a much smaller and weaker nation might actually make this unique.
I mean, they're fighting a war together. It would be weird as hell if they weren't reporting to each other daily.
Impossible. I was told Trump gets his marching orders from Vladimir Putin because of the Pee Tape.
there could be both russian pee tapes and epstein child rape tapes. Maybe what the left needs is its own set of compromat tapes.. something with furries. Thats how things get done anymore.
because of the Pee Tape.
Oh, such simpler times…
We went from “pee pee tape” to “threw the bastard newborn he killed into Lake Michigan in front of the underage mother he’s been raping, and that’s just what they released”
Good dog
How is this news? They are in the same war together on the same side. I would be more shocked if they didn't communicate with each other regularly.
Heads of state don't usually do the military updates themselves, and if so not with each other. Churchill wasn't in constant communication with Stalin.
America SHOULD be keeping Israel up to Date INSTEAD of our Citizens or Allies! We DO Represent THEM after all!
-Chuck Schumer!
While this may be true, never forget that what he says has no connection to the truth and are purely reflective of whatever words will produce the outcome he wants at a given moment.
So sick of evil Dumbo
He reported to me in detail, as this administration does every day
While I don't doubt this is true, the only time politicians aren't lying is when they aren't talking. I used to be a politician, and I fucking hate lying. It messed me up.
Trunp is his wimpy simpy
How does he have room in his mouth for Israeli dick AND Russian dick like that? Oh wait nevermind I figured it out. Nussy.
Jokes aside, I hope they DO have some dirt on the orange shitgibbon. Eventually Israel will get tired of his buffoonery and then... 🤞
