A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.

This is the first article I've seen that waited until paragraph two to mention her husband. In fact, half the time it's in the headline.
She deserves to be more famous than he is. I would guess he would agree.
I forget what award show it was but I'm pretty sure Tina Fey and Amy Pohler brought her up and listed a lengthy resumé of all her accomplishments. Then transitioned to "And tonight we're here to give her husband a lifetime achievement award."
Nice.
There are three famous Clooneys. Two of them are married, one of them is the nephew of the third. When you think of them, you should think of Amal first, then George, then Rosemary. Sorry, Rosemary. Them's the breaks.
When you think of them, you should think of Amal first
Then I guess she should have been in more award-winning TV shows and movies. Philanthropy doesn't generally make one famous.
I don't know. White Christmas? Batman & Robin?
Edit: White Christmas is a masterpiece.
I think you're leaving out a few dozen or so extremely highly-rated and award winning George Clooney films. You could have mentioned films like Good Night, and Good Luck or O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Meanwhile, I would say most people associate White Christmas with Bing Crosby.
But more importantly, neither of them are human rights lawyers who argue in front of the ICC.

GOP Rep on Fox: Why isn’t Amal Clooney talking about Russia, China?
FTA:
For more than 20 years, Clooney has been involved in a number of diverse causes. She works at a prestigious London law firm specializing in human rights called Doughty Street Chambers and is also an adjunct professor at Columbia Law School in New York. She has been collaborating with Prosecutor Khan for three years, when he asked her to act as special advisor to observe the humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region. In addition to creating the foundation that bears their names in 2016, the couple have made numerous donations through it, such as the $1 million they gave in 2017 to fight against racism and hate crimes in the United States, the aid project to provide schooling to 3,000 Syrian refugee children in Lebanon, arms control or hosting an Iraqi refugee fleeing the Islamic State in their own home. The lawyer has also worked on international cases, such as the long border dispute between Vietnam and Cambodia, on the return of Greek sculptures from the British Museum to Greece; and on the recognition of the Armenian genocide.
I don’t know, maybe because she’s fucking busy doing other important shit?
All the "but Russia" concern trolls seem to forget that Putin already has an ICC warrant out for him.
Do they want her to write another one or something?
Amal Clooney should be put on trial at the Hague along with her husband! Their crime? Being too damn hot for one couple.
Unless something comes of this, the ICC is just showing the lack of teeth it has.
The ICC has 124 member states. If the charges lead to convictions, Netanyahu and the Hamas leaders would never be able to visit those nations under threat of arrest. At the very least it would curtail their ability to advertise their violence.
I have to downvote for linking to a site that hijacks the back button.
Not to be that guy, but how long until the assassination attempts?
Netanyahu has an arrest warrant? Oh, this is great!
He doesn't. The chief prosecutor of the ICC has put forward an application for a warrant, it's up to the judges to agree and that can take months.
It has been requested, not issued yet
Nah mate, nothings even happened yet and they've stayed accusing half the galaxy of antisemitism
