Those points do not apply because there is no targeting.

UN clarifies that, in genocide, victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.

Why do you think Ireland is trying to expand the definition?

The Gallant quote is from 2 days after the October 7 attack.

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.

Here in Australia I had the impression there were no primaries? TIL there were primaries

The survey author publishes in the Journal of Genocidal Studies. Hardly impartial so fingers crossed that he asked leading questions and the results are skewed. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/14623528.2025.2456321

Thanks

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

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.

Despite the headline…

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

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 actually being extremists.

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.

The conservatives won the Presidency. Now the liberal PM is calling for a vote of confidence (why?).

Israel had 5 collapses before Netanyahu got back in.

I cannot find his ten points anywhere. Not even on his party website.

If no one server carries all the parts of a multi-part, is that a legal loophole?

Sorry, but him speaking off the cuff is what makes many prefer him to the choreographed politicians.

I thought he was rambling when I saw transcripts (eg that story about a nuclear physicist uncle about 5 years ago) but when you hear it you realise the style is natural. In real life we do not complete sentences if the message has gotten through already. MAGA think we are stupid for needing it all spelled out for us.

Then there is last week’s speech at West Point which Liberals were laughing at because he went off on a tangent about some rich friend whose wife cheated on him. Well I went to the full speech to have a laugh but found it was a whole hour (impressive speaking time) and this was in the middle. He tied the story back to the topic by the end. Most of it was not weird. I didn’t endure the whole hour but the troops loved it.

Similarly Libs think he is an idiot for his yoyo tariffs but he is happy for us to get distracted by the comedians while he profits from all the insider trading this enables. Instability is profitable when you are the one who can predict the rises and falls each week.

He is a buffoon but he definitely hams it up for advantage.
