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?
https://sopuli.xyz/post/42579919
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”.

Now, go back to the articles THAT WERE REMOVED and show me where that connection is.
They ARE NOT THERE.
Those are direct quotes from the second article listed that were removed (and still appear to be removed) in the OP for the stated “”“not us politics”“” reason, you unwashed bunghole.
He mods in bad faith for netanyahu. Arguing with him is pointless. He will ignore any provided evidence and make up any excuse for his actions.
US Media coverage IS NOT POLITICS.
Lmao, coverage of what, Jordan? Whose statements are they reporting on?
Certainly not White House officials, that would be hard to claim irrelevant to US politics
They are talking about US media coverage of international affairs, not US politics. None of that is US politics.
Again, perfectly fit for !world@lemmy.world as noted, I could see it in !news@lemmy.world as well, but there is absolutely NO political angle which means it does NOT go in !politics@lemmy.world
Let’s not split hairs here, Jordan. They’re reporting on how US media reports on official White House accounting of international affairs, not the affairs themselves. US political actors (both US media and actual White House officials) are the actual subjects of this story, not Israel.
You can complain all you want about the white house being pestered to give their accounting of events in Gaza at all, but it becomes US politics the moment they’re actively engaging in the discussion and the US media is centering them in their coverage. It’s certainly unflattering - i sympathize with why you might be frustrated by the topic, especially after how 2024 went and especially as we prepare for a 2028 campaign.
Israel and Gaza are losing topics for democrats - that much is abundantly clear.
Again, not what the removed article was about. Go back and read it again. Here’s a link in case you forgot:
https://dawnmena.org/destroying-al-shifa-hospital-robin-andersens-the-complicity-lens-us-media-coverage-of-israels-genocide-in-gaza/
The story is about US Media failing to accurately cover Israel’s attack on a hospital.
The media is not US Politics. Israel is not US Politics. Blowing up a hospital in Gaza is not US Politics.
So, 100%, post it to !world@lemmy.world where it belongs. Would be a good fit for !news@lemmy.world as well.
But again, I have to ask… why continue to argue the point instead of simply re-posting to the correct community? 🤔 It’s almost like they don’t actually care about the story in the first place.
by failing to scrutinize official accounting by US officials
You keep leaving that pretty crucial piece out there kid. The larger story is about how US media is in bed with US state department interests - a relationship with an actual-fucking-textbook term: manufacturing consent
And the reason why it’s important to continue making the problem known here is tbe same reason it was important for activists to show up to Harris/Biden rallies in 2023 protesting US complicity on Gaza. It’s the reason the tide has turned so hard that you have to sit here and pretend like there’s some procedural reason to cut Israel out of the US political conversation instead of just ignoring it entirely.
God save you and the DNC for 2028, because noone else will.
The action is the failure of US News to accurately report an attack by Israel.
