The main question is: what’s wrong with the other 155 districts?

Thank you! I don’t get why they use such weird measurements. Why not use %?

But this will piss of western countries. I don’t want to travel to a country, where criticism of Russia can lead to deportation.

At the same time: the old men visiting Thailand for their sex workers are mostly pro-Putin, due to their similarity of interpretation of ‘traditional family values’ and the general value of dominating others by force and money, so at least their sex tourism sector won’t take a deep hit – if thats what Thai people want.

UNRWA isn’t some kind of company you can punish – its the lifeline for millions.

UNRWA has to investigate how something like this could happen and prevent it from happening ever again – especially since Israel has claimed it for years now and was proven correctly now.

But the immediate reaction of UNRWA has shown that it was not the intention to aid terrorists, but a lack of proper oversight and control. So support needs to continue, alongside a reform of the processes of the UNRWA.

Its so sad what happened to India in the last decade. It was an uprising democracy, with a huge tradition and rich tradition.

But the last years you only hear about rape culture, nationalism and being subservient to Putin to get more arms. Maybe Modi is keeping the economic growth high, but the international reputation of India is taking a huge hit.

Its not like you haven’t been warned. But you still voted for him.

I will 100 % judge US Americans if Trump gets reelected. If half of your country votes for them, the people are responsible.

But that’s exactly the argument international law makes. If the opponent uses civilians and civilian structure as a weapon, they are legit targets.

Because they don’t need to.

Which is still Hamas fault. If you place your military facilities in houses of civilians, refugee camps or even hospitals, these become legit targets. Which is why the term ‘genocide’ is completely missplaced. IF Israel would target civilian houses, that would be a war crime (even though still not a genocide), but since there have been countless proofs of Hamas using them for military purposes, they are legit targets.

So yes, Israel is allowed to bomb a children’s bedroom – because of Hamas.

Data from china is shady anyways. For example right before publishing their 2023 economic data, they silently reduced their 2022 figures – officially because they changed how they where calculated – making a 1.5 % growth to a 5.2 %, hitting their 5 % growth target.

In economics Chinese figures where debated for years now and no one really trusts them anymore.

Its not ‘his people’. Its his servants.

Incredible how many fake news regarding Gaza are on lemmy. The public library in New York has not been closed due to budget cuts. Thats plain and simple fake news: https://www.nypl.org/speakout

This article makes it sound like Israel is restricting water supply, but its not. According to the UN (which is well known for not being a pro-Israel source), the water supply is restricted due to fuel shortages, bombing and poorly maintained water facilities: https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/barely-drop-drink-children-gaza-strip-do-not-access-90-cent-their-normal-water-use

Who is claiming that this is antisemitic? That sounds a lot like a strawman.

Weird, because the lawyer is claiming so: ‘“We intend to bring legal proceedings against the U.S. Government based on overwhelming evidence that the U.S. Government has, and is, aiding, abetting and supporting, encouraging or providing material assistance and means to Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces. This conduct by the U.S. Government has enabled and continues to enable Israel to engage in international crimes against the Palestinian people,” the South African lawyers said in a letter sent to US President Joe Biden on January 2.’

Thats the stupidest thing ive heard in a while. So every country that sells arms to any state is liable for all crimes committed with it? So Iran and Turkey are responsible for Putins actions? Thats just ridiculous.

One side is saying ‘we will attack you if you vote for person A’, the other is saying ‘please let them vote for whoever they want to’ – but both sides are the same, huh?

And don’t underestimate, that Human Right Violations are a competitive advantage, too. You don’t even need to argue with slave labor from Uygurs, but not allowing unions and having really low labour standards brings the costs down.
