Nothing of that. Its not like Israel is trying to kill Palestinians, but killing Hamas. And by doing so, the civilians of the country can die without it being a genocide. The allied forces didn't commit a genocide in Dresden, Germany. And the US didn't commit a genocide in Hiroshima.

This article makes it sound like Israel is restricting water supply, but its not. According to the UN (which is well known for not being a pro-Israel source), the water supply is restricted due to fuel shortages, bombing and poorly maintained water facilities: https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/barely-drop-drink-children-gaza-strip-do-not-access-90-cent-their-normal-water-use

Who is claiming that this is antisemitic? That sounds a lot like a strawman.

So everyone is calling it a genocide. Is there any reputable source deriving this claim? I am confused since the definition of genocide from Wikipedia is not fitting with my image of the war.

Weird, because the lawyer is claiming so: '“We intend to bring legal proceedings against the U.S. Government based on overwhelming evidence that the U.S. Government has, and is, aiding, abetting and supporting, encouraging or providing material assistance and means to Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces. This conduct by the U.S. Government has enabled and continues to enable Israel to engage in international crimes against the Palestinian people,” the South African lawyers said in a letter sent to US President Joe Biden on January 2.'

Thats the stupidest thing ive heard in a while. So every country that sells arms to any state is liable for all crimes committed with it? So Iran and Turkey are responsible for Putins actions? Thats just ridiculous.

Thats simply incorrect. For example 'Deutschlandfunk Der Tag' did a long series (~5 hours) about the impact of the war on Palestinians living under Hamas occupation during the war and their feelings towards Israel. They even did a Meta-report 'How much attention does the dying in Gaza get in german media' where they interviewed Salma Abuzaina, a Palestine activist in germany.

Maybe you just don't consume public funded media if you haven't heard any report about it. The conflict between reporting on Palestinian deaths and Isreali deaths without negating the suffering of any of the parties is a huge topic in german media.

Thats not the definition of a genocide... Germany killed 1 % of the french population in WW2 and its wasn't a genocide.

A genocide is characterized by the intention to annihilate a people. And while the far right in Israel is voicing support for a genocide, the current offensive is definitely not a genocide. This doesn't mean that its not against international law or just. But it simply doesnt fit the definition of a genocide – no matter how often you call it that way.

Its weird AF. Volkswagen is known as the company with by far the biggest workers unification in Germany. Its a legit career path to become the highest ranked workers representative and a significant share of the board members are current of former worker representatives.

There have been some rumors that Volkswagen is treating the worker representatives too well to make them less demanding (extremely high pay, direct access to the CEO, etc.), but thats about it.

Really weird that this is different in the US. Seems to be more a national culture thing and less of a company culture thing.

Pretty sure they are #1 due to their touchscreen focus. Its incredibly hard to operate a Tesla safely.

One side is saying 'we will attack you if you vote for person A', the other is saying 'please let them vote for whoever they want to' – but both sides are the same, huh?

And don't underestimate, that Human Right Violations are a competitive advantage, too. You don't even need to argue with slave labor from Uygurs, but not allowing unions and having really low labour standards brings the costs down.

The main thing I notice is how shitty the app is. Thats still my main complaint.

They said once that it did cost them more to create phantom liberty and Update 2.0 than they will ever get back – but it was an investment into their reputation, not primary a business decision.

Half of lemmy is pro-Chinese chills.

Euro med has a history of spreading pro-Palestine fake news.

Switzerland is also a lot more integrated than GB. Remember when we discussed hard vs. soft brexit? Soft Brexit would have left GB in a similar state like Switzerland and Norway. But we got a hard brexit.

And the killers, obviously. Both parties directly involved, so their recountings have to be investigated.

The correct way to to cite it would be: 'OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awdabuilding [...].'

Its simply wrong to not do it. Especially cutting of the sentence at a ','.

And the last time a crime against humanity was still under investigation – where it was obvious that a rocket hit a hospital, but the exact circumstances where still unclear – it was later confirmed that Hamas hit the hospital.

And thats not what Malaysia does. Also: if you critize Israel because its a state of jews.
