I wouldn’t have limited it to just slave owners…

I’m not going to address your attempt at sealioning because it’s not merited. You’re attempting to distract from the issue at hand which is:

OP posted up multiple articles unrelated to US Politics, had them removed, and chooses to whine about it even when told the proper location for said articles.

!world@lemmy.world and !politics@lemmy.world are separate entities for a reason.

Politics is for the discussion of US politics, World is for everything not involving internal US News.

Want a story about Israel’s war crimes in Gaza and Lebanon? That’s what World is for.

Want a story about US politicians being dicks? Or heroes? Or not much of anything? That’s Politics.

So when an article gets posted referencing Israel and Gaza and the US is not mentioned once. Not once. It’s going to get removed and re-directed from Politics.

Similarly, an article gets posted that mentions the US but not politics, that’s also going to get removed and re-directed.

It’s literally the mast head on the community:

Agreed, but as long as politicians rely on donations for re-election campaigns, they will absolutely do anything to keep that money flowing.

It’s super hard, you actually have to pay attention to what people say and remember it for later reference.

"As a sovereign state and UN member, Israel has the right to use military force to defend itself from an armed attack. Article 51 of the UN Charter makes this right abundantly clear, and self-defense is perhaps the least contested legal basis for a state resorting to military force. Article 51 reads:

“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.”5

So when Biden, or Harris, or Schumer or anyone else said they needed funding for Israel’s defense, that is what they were talking about.

The problem, as you and I both know, is that Israel has gone beyond defense, but nobody is willing to rein them in.

On the face of it, it sounds like a giant scam, doesn’t it?

I don’t know enough legal stuff… if someone witnesses a document and then later can’t be produced to say “Yes, that’s me, I signed that on that date.” Further, the addresses they gave as proof of identity prove to be fraudulent, shouldn’t that just be the end of it?

The only one I was really rooting for was The Singers in the best live action short category which it won in a tie(!)

SINGERS, not SINNERS. 😉

Glad to see Michael B. Jordan get the nod for Sinners, people focus on the dual role of Smoke and Stack, but he actually had THREE roles, Smoke, Stack and Vampire Stack.

Disappointed Avatar beat Sinners for visual effects. Avatar looked great, but didn’t really do anything the previous Avatars didn’t do.

Sinners should have won best original song as well.

Has to be related to US Politics.

Again, US Media is not Politics. US Corporations are not politics.

No, and that’s not the defense the funding was provided for. The US intended Israel to defend itself from repeated attacks by Iran:

Then Israel re-directed that support into Gaza and the West Bank.

“In effect” but not explicitly stated. Unless you can point to it actually being US Policy, it doesn’t belong in a community dedicated to US policy.

Again, this is why separate communities exist and have their own rules. You don’t go into the carnivore community going on about how “hey, beefsteak tomatoes are effectively the same thing! It’s in the name!”

Nobody supports the genocide, well, maybe Trump who wants the waterfront property.

The majority support Israel as a nation who continues to abuse that support, but the abuse is on the Israeli side, not the American side.

They did not support genocide. They support Israel as a nation and there is a difference.

Too many people honestly believe Netanyahu is capable of acting in good faith, you and I both know he’s not, but that’s not going to stop those who support Israel.

They CAN be political issues, notably AIPAC interference in US elections, but the removed articles has ZERO connection to US Politics which is the stated purpose of !politics@lemmy.world

Please feel free to review the removed articles, note how none of them mention any connection to US Politics, Policy, or Politicians.

Again, the Gaza genocide is NOT US Politics.

The US is not dropping bombs in Gaza and Lebanon. Israel is. That’s the difference.

Feel free to blame Israel all you want, in a fair and just world we already would have arrested Netanyahu and held tribunals.

But the blood is on Israeli hands.

Fun fact: Zapp Brannigan’s design is based on a 60’s comic book character “Magnus: Robot Fighter”:

The Fourth Estate specifically refers to the press as being independent of government operations. It’s pretty much what the first amendment is about.

So no, an article talking about what the press is doing or failing to do is not necessarily political.

Now, an article talking about, say, Bari Weiss being in the tank for Trump, that would be appropriate for !politics@lemmy.world as there’s a direct connection between the news reporting and US Politics.

Go back to the article Squirrel had removed and find the political angle in it.

Same thing on the corporate article. Yes, we get it, corporations are bad. What makes it political? Where’s the policy or politician directing them? Oh, right, not there. Just corporations being evil. Not politics.

I don’t think they’d give up their US paid universal health care. 😉

Lets try to keep this simple since I see you can’t keep up.

!politics@lemmy.world is specifically for US Politics.

You posted this story:

https://www.newarab.com/news/israel-replicating-its-gaza-war-tactics-lebanon

It was removed and you were directed to appropriately post it in !world@lemmy.world where it belongs.

I want you to go over that article very carefully and point to me where it states the US is in any way involved in the invasion of Lebanon.

You can’t, because it doesn’t.

For example, like this one:

https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/03/12/trump-gave-israel-green-light-for-ground-operation-in-lebanon/

That is something that COULD be posted to !politics@lemmy.world as it specifically indicts a US politician and is directly related to US politics.

Again, not a function of US POLITICS.

See !world@lemmy.world

When US politicians get caught lying that’s absolutely fair game for !politics@lemmy.world and it’s a delight every time!
