Jordan Lund is NOT a good human being.

Right, the Gaza Genocide isn’t US Politics… Those aren’t US made bombs being dropped with US politicians cheering them on and US diplomatic support and denial allowing the Genocide to continue. Nothing could be more salient to US politics than the ways in which the Palestinian Genocide drove us to war.

What a joke.

I feel that this situation unfortunately requires escalation and I will be directly contacting Lemmy World mods, I will update with their response.

For the record the first article about corporate complicity in the Palestinian Genocide includes references to many major US corporations, thus making it drirectly relevant to US politics at an immediate level.

The second article about US media’s complicity in coverage over the Palestinian Genocide… do I need to actually explain how that is related to US politics? Of course it is?

The third article is relevant because the US and Israel have been intimately interwoven in their escalation of Genocide and breaking of international norms, if a Genocide begins in Lebanon it will be a DIRECT continuation of US politics applied first in Israel and next in Lebanon. I mean what the hell we are fighting a war RIGHT NOW and this is the biggest escalation possible IN THAT WAR. How is that NOT related to US politics???

The fourth article about there being no ceasefire in Gaza, I don’t even know how to go about this one, om, it is politics involving primarily the US here? The US is the single most relevant political actor capable of changing this situation? How is this not US politics? Where can you cleanly draw a line here?

The US is directly and intimately complicit in the Palestinian Genocide, you cannot in good conscience nor with logical consistency separate US politics cleanly from this issue, if you wanted that to be possible you should have spoken up louder against the Genocide before, now it is too late to fumble with broken stilted arguments like this. The Palestinian Genocide is US Politics, period, end of story.

Can we finally stop pretending that what we have been witnessing in Gaza over the past 22 months is a “war,” a “conflict,” or even a “humanitarian crisis”? Many of the world’s leading human rights and humanitarian groups – including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders – agreed months ago that what is being livestreamed to our phones on a daily basis is indeed a genocide.

Trump’s Republican allies in the House and Senate are even more gung-ho. Forget complicity; Congress is filled with GOP cheerleaders for genocide, from Senators Tom “bounce the rubble in Gaza” Cotton to Lindsey “level the place” Graham. The newest member of the House, Randy Fine, a Republican representative of Florida, has called for the nuking of Gaza and said just days ago that Palestinians in Gaza should “starve away” until the Israeli hostages are all released. (A reminder that incitement to genocide is also a crime under Article III of the Genocide convention.)

But we cannot let Democrats off the hook either. The first 16 months of this mass slaughter unfolded on a Democratic president’s watch. From the get-go, Joe Biden gave Netanyahu and his cabinet of génocidaires everything they needed – 2,000-lb bombs to drop on refugee camps filled with Palestinian children? Check. UN security council vetoes to prevent the passage of resolutions calling for a permanent ceasefire? Check. The burial of internal US government reports warning of war crimes and famine in Gaza? Check.

It wasn’t just Biden. The vast majority of Democrats in Congress spent much of 2024 casting vote after vote to keep arming, funding and whitewashing the mass killing of Palestinian civilians. Even now, in the summer of 2025, seven high-profile Democratic senators were happy to take a smiling photo with Netanyahu, including the Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, who claims talk of genocide is antisemitic and says his job “is to keep the left pro-Israel”.

    Nah, just when a horrible human being uses a transparently stupid and incorrect justification to promote his own bias in obvious bad faith.

    We have the president we do now BECAUSE of the Gaza genocide. It is explicitly US News / Politics.

    You’re a bad person.

      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.

        Heyyy, if someone hires a hitman, provides the weapon and ammo and gives them money, guess who is guilty

          Problem: Nobody hired a hitman.

          You’re implying the US cares enough about Palestinians to hire Israel to eliminate them and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. They don’t care about Palestinians one way or another.

          There’s only one thing US Politicians actually care about and that’s money. Israelis have it, Palestinians don’t, and it really doesn’t get any farther than that.

          If there were a Palestinian equivalent of AIPAC, things could change. Until then, AIPAC will continue to target and eliminate any US politician who dares step out of line.

                It’s not just Jordan, though. I’m in the modlogs daily. There is a clear pattern of hiding thoughtful pieces against Western entity war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, human trafficking, drug trafficking, pedophilia, murder, genocide, and slavery. A lot of Western citizens are either doing ok, still have a roof, treats, disposable income and deny there are serious issues with maltreatment of both citizens and noncitizens, another lot aren’t doing so well, homeless and couch surfing, skipping medicines and meals, or are literally on the streets disabled and dying, and seriously trauma-bonded to their nation-states, and the rest are simply disenfranchises and trapped. And the culture on this and other instances is to support denial and silence dissent, until even compradore mainstream media and UN can’t cover it up anymore.

                  And now posts are being removed and comments locked. I’m not joining, this is certainly a CIA psyop instance. I can’t imagine a more pathetic group of corn-eaters, otherwise.

                    I doubt it, but maybe. More likely, I think, the admins are Atlanticism stans half-wittingly doing the imperial core’s work for free.

                  The only reason why .world keeps doing it is because they want to be lemmy’s reddit, removal of all disagreement of anti-American interests. It’s for america’s interest to be pro-war, pro-“voting is the only way to change things”, and everything else .world overwhelmingly supports.

                  And if you question it, they ban you and say you deserved it.

        That’s a lot of words to explicitly not address what I wrote at all.

        Deflection is not a healthy response.

          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:

            It’s not sea looking. It’s a direct point showing how your sophistry of distinguishing between internal US politics and world politics is wrong.

            Pointing out how your main argument is wrong is sea-lioning only if you believe people pointing out that you are incorrect is sea-lioning.

            It isn’t.
