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.

Gotta look at trends. So far since the pressure....
-
Port of Ashdod opened for aid
-
Erez crossing opened for aid
-
Entire 98th Division withdrew from Gaza (here)
-
Israel's war cabinet expanded mandate of negotiating team in hostage deal talks
-
322 humanitarian trucks entered Gaza today, a record
- 2,000 2,000lb bombs transferred
- 1,000 500lb bombs tranferred
- 1,000 small diameter bombs transferred
- 50 fighter jets promised in deal going through approval process
Someone downvoted you for stating facts lol. Gotta love ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy
I fully expected that.
-
Biden said he demanded an immediate ceasefire which did not happen:
-
-
Israel is still in violation of the UN ceasefire resolution during Ramadan from two weeks ago that the US didn't Veto
-
500 trucks a day is the minimum that needs to enter. 322 is not nearly enough
-
More crossings are not needed. Before the Genocide 500 trucks were able to enter through Rafah.
-
The ships that were going to deliver aid through the sea pier have turned around in fear of israel bombing them
More crossings are needed, because the infrastructure has been bombed to hell and can't handle anywhere near the traffic if used to.
Imagine that. Biden had it in his power to change what Israel does after all.
Wonder what other times centrists have said he's powerless when he isn't.
I don’t know that anyone really believed he couldn’t do it. The issue is around what happens with your allies or political repercussions at home
As with all foreign relations, it's a fluid situation. What can work today, may not be able to work yesterday.
About 6 months late, and after all the 'serious people' assured us things aren't just that simple. I guess late is better than nothing.
The "tactical" reason is that the US threatened to shut down its aid program.
Tactical reason can be fired once the troops are at a safe distance.
So they about to just start bombing it instead of sending in troops to shoot everyone?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel has pulled all of its ground troops out of southern Gaza for “tactical reasons”, the country’s army has said, raising questions about the future direction of the war as Hamas and Israeli delegations travel to Egypt for a new round of ceasefire talks.
But the timing of the announcement coincides with the beginning of a round of mediated talks in Cairo, the Egyptian capital, aimed at securing a second truce and hostage release deal, and is being received as a positive sign that the latest negotiations, after much faltering, may finally bear fruit.
The CIA director, Bill Burns, is also expected to attend the talks, which will begin on Sunday evening, alongside the Qatari foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under growing international pressure over his forces’ conduct in Gaza and the desperate humanitarian situation, said on Sunday that Israel would not give into Hamas’s “extreme” demands or agree to any ceasefire until the remaining hostages were released.
Hamas, the militant group that seized control of Gaza in 2007, triggered the bloodiest war in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict with an unprecedented cross-border offensive on 7 October, in which they killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted another 250, according to official Israeli tallies.
Famine is “projected and imminent” in the northern half of Gaza, a UN-backed report said last month, and according to Oxfam the number of people facing “catastrophic levels” of hunger has nearly doubled since December.
