They were already there. “They made the decision to remain even when it got worse because they felt like if they left, then those kids would have no where to go" Source
They were ambushed by gang members, after helping orphans at a church, in an attempted robbery. They were leaving the church and got attacked on their way home.
The vast majority of registered voters support Israel Even among Democrats most (77%) will still vote for Biden even if they disagree with him. I had a hard time finding registered voters opinions vs Democrat voters, so I could be wrong. The exact wording seemed to make a big difference. The most disapproval was seen among young voters. This really isn't a winning issue on either side.
Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, meanwhile, called for immediate punishment for the Palestinian Authority and expanded settlement construction in the Occupied West Bank as a response.
This is unhinged, wanting to punish the PA for other countries recognizing Palestine.
Oof, I really thought it could be a good source of information, even if a little biased. The archived versions I've seen are unusable too.
Which Democrats want austerity??? This isn't the UK.
I'm not saying they can't prove it. They might be able to, the problem is connecting public statements to official Israeli policy.
"I don't think there are any innocents there now, not now and not when I said those things," Vaturi said.
It's not right, but he said this after an evacuation of the area.
“I urge you to do everything and use Doomsday weapons fearlessly against our enemies,” Gotliv wrote on social media platform X, calling upon Israel to use “everything in its arsenal”.
This is pretty vague and specifically mentions "enemies"
In November, Galit Distel Atbaryan, Israel's former public diplomacy minister, called for Gaza to be “erased from the face of the Earth”, stating that the besieged enclave should be “wiped out” by a “vengeful and vicious” Israeli army.
This guy isn't even in office, it is ironic he was a diplomacy minister
Last week, lawmaker Moshe Saada said that widespread calls he had heard from the Israeli public to “destroy all Gazans” had proven that the “right-wing was right about the Palestinian issue”.
This is a pretty good example but he never says that the right-wing policy is to destroy all Gazans, just that the public wants it.
It's not such an easy thing to prove. There are plenty of right-wing extremists in Israel's government right now, it's likely they have crossed the line with their rhetoric but rhetoric isn't policy. I have yet to see any smoking gun evidence that Israel specifically intends to commit genocide (in a legal sense, not a moral or colloquial way).
with intent to destroy
dolus specialis (intent) is the most crucial part of genocide. Without it none of the five acts apply.
Can anyone access the [Cogat data] (https://govextra.gov.il/cogat/humanitarian-efforts/home/) on aid distribution, the site always shows a 404 for me?
The UN keeps some data but since May 5th it is incomplete, and it doesn't include all the crossings into gaza. Since May 5th, only 69 trucks UN/INGO have been recorded entering Gaza. Source
After Israel seized the AP equipment, the Biden administration, journalism organizations and an Israeli opposition leader condemned the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and pressured it to reverse the decision.
Israel’s communications minister, Shlomo Karhi, said late Tuesday on the social platform X: “I have now ordered to cancel the action and return the equipment to the AP.”
A terrible decision but it was reversed.
I don't understand how that article relates to Taiwan at all. It seems like a dispute between China and Australia.
Please elaborate. I know nothing about the difference between devil and demon sorry.
I'm struggling to wrap my head around this crime. Two people shoot five bullets at an elementary school before 5am on a Saturday, then leave with their getaway driver. This crime was discovered a few hours later by school staff reporting evidence of a shooting.
