Those points do not apply because there is no targeting.

UN clarifies that, in genocide, victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.

Why do you think Ireland is trying to expand the definition?

The Gallant quote is from 2 days after the October 7 attack.

Occupation of Gaza?

Meanwhile...

The death toll in Sudan's ongoing civil war is estimated to be significantly higher than previously reported, with studies suggesting that over 150,000 people may have died since the conflict began in April 2023. The majority of these deaths are attributed to violence, preventable diseases, and starvation, particularly affecting vulnerable populations in regions like Khartoum and Darfur.

Doesn't get as much attention because why? Muslim on Muslim? Brown on Brown? And yet it involves (unlike Gaza) systemic targeting of civilians based on ethnicity.

Obvious? You ignore the definition.

For starters Genocide is killing of people, targeted by ethnicity. Do you think that Israel are such bad shots that they can only manage to kill 2½% of Gazans (⅓ of them militants) while ⅔ of Jews were killed in the Holocaust?

ProPals like Ireland are trying to change the legal definition of genocide in order to make the false equivalence.

The survey author publishes in the Journal of Genocidal Studies. Hardly impartial so fingers crossed that he asked leading questions and the results are skewed. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/14623528.2025.2456321

Thanks

I hope it is a flawed poll along the lines of Yes Minister. We should all hope so.

Aboriginals in ~~custody~~ prison are less likely to die than others (according to a Royal Commission) however they are way over-represented in the prison system in the first place. That is a much more complex problem which AFAIK is not abating unfortunately.

Despite the headline...

It was not immediately clear whether these buildings were also being used as shelters.

It can't be making fun of you because I am the ONE.

I don't get it. Is it a comparison with Neo (and Matrix is a commercial film).

Which Lemmy downvotes?

I got banned temporarily (but actually permanently) from TheGuardian for posting newspaper articles reporting on evidence that Assange's Swedish alleged rape victims boasted about their sexual encounter on Twitter and SMS (which bus lawyer submitted as evidence). No commentary from me.

I got banned from r/worldnews without warning because I posted an article by Seymore Hirsch suggesting that the NordStream pipeline was sabotaged by USA themselves. The only commentary there was to add that he is a respectedjournalist who exposed the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam.

I had a comments deleted on Lemmy WorldNews because the Mod did not like my politics. At least I wasn't banned.

Friends have set up a private forum and server which is a solution however it doesn't have much activity. Those in our circle are too attracted to popular socials instead it seems.
