  • Israeli jets kill two paramedics in Rafah after ‘deliberately’ bombing ambulance

  • They are trying a genocide, looking like the villain while doing it kind of comes with the territory.

    Key misinformation “superspreaders” on Twitter: Older women

    Jump

  • I think you're right - women are also socialized to seek out social/interpersonal connections more than men; this is a big factor in why the suicide rate for elderly men tends to be significantly higher than for elderly women.

    This doesn't explain the 60 year olds but with the elderly (70+) women in my life, the vulnerability to misinformation is also an artifact of their comparatively poor levels of education. They were schooled with the expectation that they would be SAHMs.

    Rightwing NZ government accused of ‘war on nature’ as it takes axe to climate policies

  • Israeli campaign against ICC may be ‘crimes against justice’, say legal experts

    Jump

  • If you read the articles on this, the timeline makes sense. No one has to be "psychic".

    • In 2015 Palestine applied to join the ICC.
    • Mossad's harassment of the ICC’s chief prosecutor seems to have begun straight after that.
    • Israel was already breaching international law with the settlements and flouting of the Geneva Conventions, and had been accused of war crimes in e.g. 2014.

    If an entity is repeatedly accused of committing crimes it's not really some crazy conspiracy if prosecutors start taking an interest in their activities. And the more they escalate their criminal activity the more likely it is that an investigation and eventual warrant will follow.

    How to increase engagement of cis women on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Worth noting that's Hexbear not Lemmy as a whole. Hexbear has a unique culture.

    To answer the question, the way you attract openly cis women is create spaces where they are definitely not bullied, trolled, and stalked. The fediverse is young and has relatively few mod tools.

    There are plenty of cis women on mastodon as far as I can see.

  • How to increase engagement of cis women on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • This. Lemmy.world is probably the most vanilla. I suspect there are probably more cis women on instances like Beehaw as well.

  • Netanyahu blasts Biden admin for rejecting GOP effort to sanction ICC

    Jump

  • I feel the same way. He's not my friend and he's not a cute kid or something. He's a genocidal war criminal.

  • It is pretty bad. The part where the Mossad guy "ambushed" the judge in a hotel room is blatant intimidation.

  • Why Is the World Ignoring a Looming Genocide in Sudan?

    Jump

  • Definitely. The US isn't likely to like either side given one of them is tight with Iran and the other one has dealings with Russian mercenaries.

  • Why Is the World Ignoring a Looming Genocide in Sudan?

    Jump

  • @victorz - The "fast"/ big obvious ones are Darfur and Gaza, but there's also probably Oromia, slow genocide in West Papua, Western Sahara, Xinjiang, and I think Nagorny-Karabakh and Tigray could start up again at some point. There is obviously a genocidal component to the Tatmadaw's activities in Myanmar but right now they seem to be getting their asses kicked by the alliance which includes ethnic minority armies.

    Then there are the more obscure genocides that are mostly only mentioned outside western and english-language news media, for example the ongoing slow genocide of the Baloch people in the Balochistan region.

  • Why Is the World Ignoring a Looming Genocide in Sudan?

    Jump

  • Not all armed conflicts are genocides.

  • Why Is the World Ignoring a Looming Genocide in Sudan?

    Jump

  • Is it naive of me to think American news must have at least reported on the international intervention into the 2004-2005 genocide?

    And the separation of Sudan into two countries in 2011? Those were both pretty big; I thought that would be why the person above was calling this an old conflict.

  • Israel sharpens its tone to Spain: "The Inquisition is over. Those who harm us, we will harm them"

    Jump

  • Why Is the World Ignoring a Looming Genocide in Sudan?

    Jump

  • No one here has been hearing about it in the news for hundreds of years tho (unless some of you are undead/vampires).

    Arguably the roots of the Sudan conflict go back to the 1300s.

    But in both cases the modern nation-state conflicts kicked off after the colonization of the 19th centuries, and in both cases most of us have been aware of it for decades.

  • After Peddling Fake Hamas 'Beheaded Babies' Story, Media Ignores Actual Beheaded Palestinian Baby

    Jump

  • I agree with you. Beheading means decapitation as a form of execution.

    At this point it's really splitting hairs. The IDF literally has a program called "Where's Daddy" that allows them to make sure suspects are at home with their families when they bomb them; so I think it's safe to infer that they intend to kill at least some portion of children.

  • I liked it better before miniclip bought it. There used to be a really fast paced clone called petriedish that was full of Russians, Poles, and Ukrainians, wonder what happened to it.

  • Israel sharpens its tone to Spain: "The Inquisition is over. Those who harm us, we will harm them"

    Jump

  • Ikr! Pretty sure its a reference to the Spanish Inquisition's expulsion of Jewish people in the 1490s.

    In other words it's not just super random whataboutism, it's also a dogwhistle to the "chosen people versus antisemitic rest of the world" narrative that Netanyahu et al use to drum up support from their base.

    in a major blow to the American-led effort to create a ridiculous PR exercise to smokescreen their complicity in the starvation of the genocide-torn occupied territory.
