• Colombia has requested permission from the International Court of Justice to intervene in South Africa’s case against Israel for genocide in Gaza, aiming to protect Palestinian safety and existence.
  • The ICJ has ordered Israel to ensure timely food supplies to Gaza and previously instructed Israel to refrain from actions under the genocide convention and to prevent genocidal acts against Palestinians, which Israel denies, attributing its actions to targeting Hamas rather than civilians.

    Yes they do and Russia is happier than ever. The more that people talk about Israel/Gaza, the less they talk about the Russian strategy in Ukraine being mass murder, rape and torture of civilians.

      Wow, those are some serious mental gymnastics, if you think people are only upset about a literal genocide as some sort of distraction.

      Still, if that’s what you and @muntedcrocodile genuinely believe, I’d expect you both would be posting articles on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and drawing the kinds of attention you want for that issue.

      But when I look at your profiles, neither of you appear to be doing that.

          Okay I went and had a look at it, you’re still not posting any articles. You need to contribute more content on Ukraine if you want people to talk about that content.

          The threads part of the fediverse is small, it doesn’t get the paid political astroturfer shills and bots that reddit gets. Most people on here are real people holding real opinions.

          You’re not going to win more attention for Ukraine by telling people like me that we are somehow pro-Russian just for caring about a genocide.

          • So endless arguing with people who are pro Russia and up voting most posts I see pales in comparison to posting about it. Would you be satisfied if I wrote a bot to spam the fediverse?

            I’m not saying ur pro Russia I’m simply saying that Palestine is a distraction by every metric and of a magnitude insignificant to that of russia.

            Did u know that the civilian solder death ration in Palestine is almost identical to all city based warfare. Is it a war crime probably but then again there are hundreds of those in every war, is it a genocide no.

              Did u know that the civilian solder death ration in Palestine is almost identical to all city based warfare.

              I know for a fact that’s completely false. The civilian death toll in Gaza is much higher than in comparable conflicts. You’re clearly regurgitating fake facts from Israelis or something.

              In fact the Gaza death toll in 5 months was 1.5% of the population (hald of whom are children). For comparison in 2 years the Bosnian Genocide death toll was 3% of the population.

              Look I was sympathetic to you wanting people to talk more about Ukraine but trying to derail other conversations and denying a genocide is not cool.

              I’m interested in human rights of all kinds and I’m going to talk about all of them as much as I want.

                There is no comparable conflict in world history. The tunnels are unprecedented.

                Plus the numbers are dropping. 1.5% right now, and people have been saying that number for the last two months. Catastrophic famine has been imminent for four months.

                I wish I had time and skill to make a graph of cumulative death toll, month to month, and then extrapolate the number of deaths per day, so we could visualize how the conflict has been winding down almost since it began. By my rough estimation from a few news articles about the death tolls, spread out through March anyway, is that monthly deaths have decreased 20%, month over month. Doesn’t take very many months to see that the genocide apparatus of Israel either doesn’t exist or is utterly incompetent.You know, the death toll has been “1.5%” for two months.

                    And have been for four months.

                    But contrary to the grim ragebait of most news articles, aid has been flowing. Is it Schrodinger’s humanitarian aid? Simultaneously existing in such quantities as to be landing on people’s heads and killing them while also not existing?

                  “Winding down” my fucking ass. Go ahead, do it, show us how 80 people dead per day instead of 100 is “winding it down”.

                  The stench of death is all over Gaza, they will find dead bodies for months, and some of that blood is on your hands and it will never ever wash off.
