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!

“Any plan to forcibly deport Palestinians outside the occupied territory against their will is a war crime, and when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack on the civilian population, it would constitute a crime against humanity”

Unfortunately, neither Netanyahu or Trump are going to care what Amnesty International says, right or wrong.

Countries need to be assuming that nothing is beyond the Trump administration and then plan to deal with that.

No US president has actually cared about anything Amnesty has called them out on since, like, forever. Still glad they're documenting and advocating for human rights so those of us that do care can get reliable information.

No, they do care. They get off on being evil.

Isn't that one of the classifications of genocide?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

The US doesn’t recognize the ICC so it doesn’t matter

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@sh.itjust.works 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

No!!!

What Biden did was genocide. Great leader's final solution on "the palestinian question" is just genius diplomacy and politics.

Could you imagine how much worse Harris would have been?!?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

It certainly isn't part of being a good neighbor. And Trump and his look at genocide as a bonus when they do something shitty.

Most of the orange shit Gibbon's speak is the same
