      AIPAC pretty much single-handedly dictates US policy toward Israel. They’re not gonna make any move against Bibi.

      I’m sure we do, but it’s bad practice to slander your allies.

        It’s also bad practice to be allies with genocidal psychopaths.

        I didn’t say do it publicly ;) The problem with Kompromat is the moment you say it publicly, its not Kompromat any longer

      As long as the president is genocide Israel’s right to defend itself Joe, the US will be a supporter for Israel’s genocide.

      The kopromat name implies being Russian, so it is safe to say that no they do not.

      Nethanyahu is a fascist and has (or at least had) warm relations with Russia. This is why Israel refused to provide any meaningful help to Ukraine.

        K, compromising material.

        TIL Kompromat ≠ Kompro[mising ]mat[erial]

        O_o

          Why do you think it starts with K? Because it comes from Russian: компромат which is short for компрометирующий материал.

          It is a strategy used by the Russian government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kompromat

            It doesn’t mean nobody else does it cuz [gasp] its a K instead of a C. When we have a cool word for it maybe I’ll reconsider but for now, when in Rome…

            Edit: are you for real? Like are you gonna seriously leave that as your closing argument here? K

        Kompromat doesn’t imply Russian involvement any more then a mentor is implied to be Greek or the bourgeoisie is implied to be French.

          It is strictly Russian, because that’s the mode they operate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kompromat

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.
