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.
-
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.

Literally wasn't he being charged with a corruption lawsuit before this mess started?
Yes, and he was deflecting and prolonging the trial. If he could gerrymander it, he would.
A grade a, slick piece of shit. Sociopath.
Gerrymandering isn't a thing in Israel.
The knesset (Israel's only lesgislative body) uses party-list proportional voting, using closed party lists and the d'hont method for apportioning seats.
Basically, each party publishes a list of candidates. As long as that party gets at least 3.25% of the vote, they'll get a seat.
On the plus side, everyone has a voice. On the minus side, it's not hard for the crazies to get a seat at the table and an outsized voice due to having to make a governing coalition.
Yeah, meant that as a reflection on his character, but thanks for being informative! That never hurts.
I thought he managed to change the law so he is legally untouchable now?
He declared himself the only person to declare himself absentee (even if he were to die right now).
That doesn't mean his term won't end after 4 years, or that the government can't disband for elections.
He still hasn't become Arduan or Putin, which is why most of the violence in the protests was the government vs the people and not a mutual thing.
Does it matter if the government could technically disband if it never does?
Not possible in Israeli law. Yet.
Hopefully, it never will.
