Was he ever not going to do this? I mean, Trump definitely put a big old stamp of approval on it, but it seemed like this was the Yahoo’s plan from the beginning.

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.

This has been their plan since Trump’s first term. He repealed the restrictions on Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory in 2019. Netanyahu was so grateful, he named a settlement after Trump in Golan Heights.

Biden then enacted sanctions on Israel’s settlements in the West Bank. Trump repealed them on his first day office.
Netanyahu wants complete domination of the region. Trump just wants prime beachfront property.
You mean to tell me that the whole Genocide Joe meme was probably Russian propaganda.
Boy that would be embarrassing for anyone who fell for it. It would almost be like they never gave a shit about Palestine and were just using it as the latest "Issue" to base their entire political personality on.
The Palestinians’ options in the 2024 election were bad and worse. I think the real propaganda was simply one-sided criticism. A fair comparison would’ve made it clear that Trump would be worse.

As if we all didn't witness with our own eyes the 15 months of slaughter happening over there using US weapons, bombs, jets, and cash lovingly sent by Biden.

Kinda like you're doing here since you seem to be more concerned with putting yourself on a pedestal than what's still happening in Palestine?
More concerned with putting yourself on a pedestal
Not falling for blatant Russian propaganda does stroke the ego.
Even more so when you get people outing themselves.
What exactly is the propaganda here? Are you suggesting that those tens of thousands of dead Palestinians were a "crisis actors" or something? You sound like the propagandist here. "Who are you going to believe? Me or your own lying eyes?"
Nice to see someone out themselves.
I think it's pretty obvious I'm talking about those who genuinely believed Trump would be better for Palestine or were convinced not to vote.
I see how you fell for it.
You're like three comments in and still have yet to explain what you're even referring to as "propaganda" and are already repeating yourself verbatim? Are you a malfunctioning LLM or just someone with an extremely weak and superficial argument?
First comment. Read, please.
It'll make you less susceptible to propaganda.
Repeating the word "propaganda" over and over isn't an explanation and doesn't make it true.
Making false claims and repeating them over and over while refusing to provide any details is definitely a tactic propagandists use, however. Gee, isn't that funny...
What in my first comment would justify a response.
Unless you took he genocide Joe meme seriously their is no need to respond
No one who's aware of the details of the Abraham Accords under Trump's first presidency would think that Trump was in anyway better.
So how was Trump able to come off as the 'dove' candidate? He did this same strategy of framing himself as a peaceful 'dove' in 2016 against Clinton. I put dove in quotes because anyone who pays attention to Trump's actual foreign policy knows that's not remotely true. High propensity voters aren't fooled by this but plenty of low propensity voters sure can be. Trump was only effective as framing himself as a Dove because of how terrible the Biden admins Foreign policy was for the last fifteen months. If Harris pivoted from Biden on Palestine, as the vast majority of all voters wanted and as required by domestic and international law, Trump wouldn't have been able to frame himself as a Dove. I'm fact, if Harris not only pivoted but harped on Trump's connection to Netanyahu, it would've been incredibly easy to frame Trump as a warmonger cozying up to genocidal fascists
This was also pushed for by the Biden admin behind closed doors. The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians has had bipartisan support for decades. The main difference is that Trump can't help himself from saying the quiet part out loud
We went from Genocide Joe to Genocide Don. If the Democratic Party actually listened to the demands of their constituents, demands that were vastly popular (and not just on Palestine), we wouldn't be in this fascist Trump regime
I'm commited to seeing this ghoul rot in hell where he belongs
Sigh. There is no hell.
He's going to die of nature causes without ever experiencing a punishment for his actions.
Feeling good about what happens to him after death is just ignoring reality.
Right, I also don't believe the fantasy concept of hell. But I am hoping he will experience proverbial hell on earth where he is getting exactly what he deserves, no more, no less. A genuine possibility we can make happen without the need for anything supernatural.
Which? There’s too many to choose from.
He should be committed. Fucking criminal. I hope he ends up in a country where the ICC can actually take him into custody.
Just to be clear, you're talking about both of them, right?
Anytime going to prison comes up, I assume trump is automatically included. Being a convicted felon and rapist, and all that. While we're at it let's take elon's taxpayer funded assets and toss him in with them.
Good thing we didn’t elect Kamala because of gEnOciDe.
I wish nothing but the worst for this snake and his folowers
Netanyahu’s embrace of Trump’s “resortification” of Gaza is corporate colonialism draped in security theater. Ethnic cleansing rebranded as “voluntary departure” doesn’t fool anyone with a map—relocating millions into Jordanian deserts or Egyptian austerity is a logistical fantasy. The PA’s sudden relevance after years of sidelining proves this is less about governance and more about erasing Palestinian agency.
Meanwhile, the “fragile ceasefire” is humanitarian theater. Israel’s northern buffer zones and Hezbollah’s posturing are just geopolitical chessboard moves, while Netanyahu clings to power like a corruption-adjacent barnacle. Protests demanding hostages’ return? Performative outrage in a democracy that’s become a coalition of survivalists.
The Arab League’s scramble for alternatives reeks of desperation. The EU’s reconstruction pledges? Gasoline on a burning house. Everyone’s invested in the spectacle except the people actually living in rubble.
Mhh yes.. "Trumps" plan...
"Trump's plan"
As thought it's not something he was whispering in Trump's ear.
on the day after the war in Gaza
pfft, they think it's gonna end when this is the outcome?
bwahahaha....
No Gaza, No war in gaza :) It will just move to the next town after the Egyptian border.
they're creating an opposing force that will keep bibi in power for decades.
