  • World Running Out of Euphemisms for Genocide in Gaza, UN Warns — The Shovel

  • 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.

  • Indeed. The dementia angle is a distraction. Not enough of them are getting his hot insider trading tips I suppose before each oscillation of the yo-yo.

    He was ridiculed for a segment of his speech at West Point but it went for an hour and it was nowhere near as bad as Dems made it out to be.

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

  • Aboriginal community shaken by second death in Australian police custody

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Israeli strikes on Gaza schools used as civilian shelters are part of deliberate strategy, say sources

    Jump

  • Despite the headline...

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

  • Greens defector’s use of slur against fellow senator exposed in text leak

    Jump

  • We wouldn't be surprised by such behavior from the conservatives (they gave up on Christ-like behavior long ago) but we hold this mob to a higher standard - let's hope they hear the disgust from their constituents and pull their heads in.

    Bonus points if "conservative" voters for their part would start criticizing their politicians for instead being extremists.

  • Greens defector’s use of slur against fellow senator exposed in text leak

    Jump

  • Her inevitable clashes within Labor will eclipse anything she experienced in The Greens.

    Albanese declared the senator’s departure was a sign the Greens had become an unrecognisable party after they blocked housing bills last term and focused heavily on the war in Gaza.

    And yet she is the only Greens member to have publicly used the slogan "From the river to the sea...".

    Regardless of one's stance on Gaza politics, Albo is being disingenuous. He is merely gloating about the defection.

    And why gloat? He still needs the Greens on board to pass legislation.

  • Senator Dorinda Cox called One Nation leader Pauline Hanson a “f---ing retard” in a text message leaked after she defected to Labor, showing the depth of anger toward her in the Greens

    That's petty of the Greens.

  • Yeah it seems to merely be a business decision, less about a conscience and more about avoiding losing more anti-trust suits.
