  • I liked it better before miniclip bought it. There used to be a really fast paced clone called petriedish that was full of Russians, Poles, and Ukrainians, wonder what happened to it.

  • Ikr! Pretty sure its a reference to the Spanish Inquisition's expulsion of Jewish people in the 1490s.

    In other words it's not just super random whataboutism, it's also a dogwhistle to the "chosen people versus antisemitic rest of the world" narrative that Netanyahu et al use to drum up support from their base.

  • in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a maritime corridor for humanitarian supplies into the war-torn enclave

    in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a ridiculous PR exercise to smokescreen their complicity in the starvation of the genocide-torn occupied territory.

    Fixed it for them.

  • Their harrassment of Ms Bensouda is super creepy, first they sent an envelope of money to her house and then Mossad came to her in a hotel room:

    In one of the earliest encounters, Cohen surprised Bensouda when he made an unexpected appearance at an official meeting the prosecutor was holding with the then DRC president, Joseph Kabila, in a New York hotel suite.

    Sources familiar with the meeting said that after Bensouda’s staff were asked to leave the room, the director of the Mossad suddenly appeared from behind a door in a carefully choreographed “ambush”.

  • Thanks for your comment. Fwiw I get most of my information from credible NGOs, and even if UNRWA was magically 100% terrorists (implausible. I've met an Israeli woman who worked as a humanitarian in Gaza and I think she had a pretty good idea of that space) I wouldn't feel any differently about the Gaza Genocide. Nothing excuses it.

    Similarly, preventing civilians losing their lives will always take precedence over preventing civilians losing their jobs.

    I'm from a former colony myself, and history has taught that the only ways Israel can avoid being attacked by the people it has dispossessed would be if it either:

    • stops colonizing/settling/occupying/blockading and makes reparations or
    • genocides and displaces the population to a tiny fraction.

    It's disappointing that in this day and age most Israeli citizens prefer either option 2 or else the status quo of ongoing occupation and violence, but it's not that unusual.

    Personally, I think Israel is highly unlikely to turn back from genocide now. The only hope is for international intervention.

  • It does seem to be. The juxtaposition of Russia invading Ukraine and Israel invading Gaza is pretty stark.

  • Doesn't really explain it, I mean the underlying Palestine/Israel thing has been going on for decades too.

    The current Sudanese Civil War has only been going on for 6 months longer than the current Israel vs Gaza hostilities.

  • Because neither side is America's aIly of course.

    I went on tiktok yesterday and noticed a bunch of Gen Z mentioning Sudan and DRC as well as the Gaza Genocide. So that was better than usual.

  • Hmm the US isn't a particularly good example of a democracy.

  • Part of a wider pattern. The US is losing soft power in many places, I think.

  • What the actual fuck?????

    In my country you have to have been a barrister for at least 5 years and in practice it's longer.

    I can't get my head around this system of having laypersons voting randoms into a position that requires a high level of skill.

  • No, not after we heard what they had to say.

    Me "could you please get a job to help pay for catfood?"

    Her "nope. I don't feel like it. I'd rather just move into the bushes and live off rare native birds".

  • Skyrim, keep seeing things to harvest. Neighbour grew leeks at one point.

    I used to play multiplayer Agar.io a few years ago and got this badly, the game is about circles of various sizes attacking each other and there are circles everywhere irl.

  • Agreed. At the moment I get most of my history content from following @PugJesus

  • Yeah I think a lot of the real mods left during the API debacle.

    What's left is fewer mod tools and less experienced moderators, a bad combination.

  • Back when they told them to go to that evacuation zone many predicted this is what would happen.

    It must be so terrifying to keep being told to move to places and then being attacked when you get to them.

  • Yes, sooner or later it will be recognised by most.

    I'm old enough to remember the years after the Cambodian Genocide when the US supported the genocidal Khmer Rouge being the representatives for Cambodia at the UN, locking out the actual government of Cambodia.

    These travesties happen every so often.

  • I agree with you, I just mean it's hard for us to enforce it when we are being blocked by powers like the US etc.

  • I think you might be missing a few. Eg Nicaragua, Maldives.

    In terms of the West, Ireland, Spain, and Norway are probably close to openly calling it a genocide.
