The most powerful country is not even a member of the ICC, guess why. At the same time, they applauded their decision when they issued the arrest warrant for Putin.
Now they are threatening to apply sanctions on the main prosecutor and some judges in case they issue arrest warrants for Bibi & Gallant.
This is how wicked and hypocritical our world is.
Justice for thee but not for me.
To be honest right now is a relatively good time to build a PC, except for the GPU, which is heavily overpriced. I think if you are content with last gen AMD, this can also be turned to somewhat acceptable levels.
He (Ben Gvir) has a long history of anti-Arab activism leading to dozens of indictments and at least eight convictions of crimes including incitement to racism, possession of propaganda for a terrorist organization (the now illegal political party Kach) and support for a terrorist organisation (also Kach).[9] As a lawyer, he is known for defending Jews accused of Jewish extremist terrorism on trial in Israel.[10]
And the saddest thing is that if she wasn't an American citizen this incident would have simply been briefly mentioned in the news without providing a name or a story.
You remember the food kitchen workers and how much noise there were around those killings. But the reality is since the conflict started at least 284 aid workers were killed and no one is talking about it: https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-war-palestinians-statistics-40000-7ebec13101f6d08fe10cedbf5e172dde.
This woman was at a protest at the West Bank and shot by IDF, what's the connection with Hamas in this case, or are you just trolling?
Can someone ELI5 how this isn't recognised as a terrorism?
Notwithstanding this flood of official condemnations, the authorities do not appear to be in any hurry to bring the perpetrators to justice; only one person was arrested in the aftermath of the attack, and subsequently released. Settler impunity has long been the norm: according to data from the Israeli human rights group Yesh Din, 97 percent of police files opened into cases of settler violence since 2005 have been closed without convictions.
Oh man, that's rough. I feel sorry about your brother. No human being deserves to go through so much pain and suffering. I hope he can at least appreciate some stuff in life and enjoy it every now and then. And I can imagine how hard it is to you and your family. I wish you all the best!
I wonder if your whole family gets wiped out in one of those bombings, if you were on the other side if you will still think that 50 K is a drop in the bucket. You know even one death of a civilian is one too many. Plus Israel destroyed a big chunk of the infrastructure of Gaza. They are acting with utter impunity and have complete disregard of civilian casualties because of people like you.
And they are using 100 - 200 hostages as an excuse to continue doing so. And now tell me how many civilians did IDF killed? You know in wars you have a principle of proportionality:
The principle of proportionality prohibits attacks against military objectives which are “expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated”.
If I am not wrong the IDF broke this principle many times while claiming that your army is the most moral is a bit hypothetical.
But then show me a single graph where the civilian casualties in Israel are more than the civilian casualties on the Palestinian side? Because I am sure you will have a really hard time finding such.
Or let's simplify things, let's only count kids under the age of 14.
Authoritarian governments are the worst. Where any sign of dissent is severely punished by the ruling party.
I remember in my country back in the days, the government was spying on its own people, where ordinary people were snooping on their neighbours and reporting at the authority and people were put into correction camps and prisons for simply telling a political joke.
I am in tech and so far the only way to get a decent pay rise was to swap jobs. Every 3-4 years. At my last position, I got something like 3-4% pay rise, for the last 3 years, when the official inflation was more than 20%, while I am sure they have adapted their pricing accordingly.
Every time it is the same story and excuses. And it is really tiring.
