Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Article 2 of the Genocide Convention has 5 definitions of genocide, you only have to meet ONE for it to be considered a genocide.
Israel: Hold my beer!
https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/genocide-conv-1948/article-2
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
✅ (a) Killing members of the group;
✅ (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
✅ (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
✅ (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
✅ (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
Hey, that’s Bingo!
According to the experts in the article, it’s determining the intent through observation of action that causes identification to be a spectrum, rather than pass/fail.
I mean, it should be immediately apparent to anyone who has been paying attention.
This doctor absolutely fucking nails it:

"The doctor went on to claim that Israeli snipers are deliberately shooting children in Gaza, citing his observation of two children who were shot twice. "No child gets shot twice by mistake," he said."
Here's the base problem... Israelis don't see Palestinians as innocent. They've said this repeatedly:

For people who see others as just part of a Race or Ethnicity, their victims are not persons, just pieces of a race to take down.
The aggressor's mental dehumanization of their victims is what allows them to just exterminate them as if they were animals and one way to dehumanize them is to look at them as just pieces of a "bad" Race which needs to be removed/eliminated.
Genociders target "a Race" and want to destroy "a Race" - that's how the aggressors see the whole affair: as a fight of Races.
The victims, on the other hand, are individual human beings who suffer as only thinking and feeling human beings can suffer, not as pieces of "a Race", and their suffering would be exactly the same when done the same things no mater what thier Race.
Ah the Uyghur genocide would be (b) then?
b, c, d, and e.
any articles on d and e?
(d) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-53220713
(e) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-56454609
There are far more, but those two are already enough to prove the point.
I always take a skeptical stance whenever it is Adrian Zenz who wrote the study (for d), and I'm looking at the study he made right now
Point e, though, seems to be truthful and shows what happens to the kids of parents sent to the reeducation camps
Google "Uighur forced sterilization" and "Uighur children separation".

Interesring thing to note: doing any and all of the above to people along politically ideological lines is not considered genocide. Millions of civilians have been exterminated because their politics were not national, ethnic, racial, or religious.
That's interesting. When I was growing up I was told it had to meet all 5, and the reason for Canada's colonialism not being considered genocide is that it didn't meet all 5.
Of course we all know what Canada did to indigenous folks was actually a genocide but the government would still tell you otherwise. Either way they meet at least 4 of these. Whether you want to say it was deliberate or not I guess is up for debate but...
Well, this definition didn't come about until 1948, I'm rusty on my Canadian history, but I'd assume the colonialism would have been before '48.
If you want to be sad, read up on the Residential Schools.
1948 was 50 years before the last of those hellholes closed.
And yes, Canada has semi-officially recognized it as a cultural genocide. With actual genocide recognition passed by the House of Commons in 2022.
Oh I had no idea about the official genocide recognition that's actually very good, thank you.
Depends, do you have a long track record of bad faith arguing, trolling, and internet slap fights?

Haha, and his username is freedom advocate! Of course they’re banned tons of times for spewing propaganda and bad faith arguments!
The account in question is three weeks old and already has 728 comments.
Totally not a bot.
Ahh good old freedumb advocate. I'm happy I blocked them :)
You really need to lay off the internet, dude. Go touch some grass, connect with people, make friends. You have no power here.
Gtfo with your white Genocide conspiracy theory. We're talking about an actual ongoing genocide. Where an entire civilian population is being bomed non fucking stop, where no food has entered for months, where every hospital has been bombed, where the entire population, one mostly children and many crippled by the IDF, has been forced to move over and over again under those conditions.

This guy doesn’t know who Mandela was, doesn’t know what imperialism is, or what apartheid is.
He’s an idiot who’s completely without historical context and says shit to be a contrarian. Because that makes him sound smart, but in reality he’s about just parroting propaganda bots from twitter.
correction: It does not make him sound smart
Banned in Ask Lemmy - Nothing to do with me.
Banned in WorldNews.lemmy.ml - Not my World News, but I wouldn't take that personally, everyone gets banned from .ml eventually.
Banned 2x in Memes - How the hell do you get banned in Memes?
I did ban you from Politics and World for trolling and misinformation, which you were.
Banned in News but that was before I was made a mod in News.
So mods in 5 different communities see your content de-valuing their communities. I'm just one of them.
And are, in this thread. Why bother keeping trying to interact with them here? Just ban again. And make it permanent this time.
Done!
Bye bye!
I think it's an alt, can't be sure, but they feel very similar to Donald j musk, and then Donald musk.
To be fair, all these conservatives use the same dumbass talking points that a minute of investigation can debunk
Touché
Right now you're sea lioning which is just another form of trolling.
They're getting what they want by derailing the thread.
what are you even doing here, read the room and go back to X
What do you hope to gain from arguing with a bunch of people you already know will never agree with you?
Bro's defending genocide in other threads and says other people need to be less radicalized. (Nice way to give yourself away, btw. Mr lemmy.net**.au** clearly actually from America.)
Holy shit is someone defending the idea of white genocide on Lemmy, this guy must be the furthest right wing person registered on any federated Lemmy Instance so far
