That’s what you get with religious nationalism.

Israel is committing a holocaust in Gaza today.

[Rossami]

No it isn't and no they're not.

[Rob Misek]

Listen and abide to the UN decisions we are signatory to

OR

Toss aside everything that the UN stands for to renege on our signatory obligations and support with funding, arms and our military lives a holocaust committed by a religious nationalist apartheid state.

“The world stands upon the edge of a knife: Either we travel collectively towards a future of just peace and lawfulness – or hurtle towards anarchy and dystopia, and a world where might makes right.””

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights)
September 18, 2024

“The Court has reaffirmed that the realisation of self-determination cannot be left to bilateral negotiations among two unequal and asymmetrical parties – the occupier and the occupied. It called for Israel to immediately cease its illegal settlement activities and withdraw from these areas as swiftly as possible. More importantly, the Court provided unequivocal directions concerning the responsibilities of States and international organisations, with regard to Israel’s unlawful occupation.

Despite these adamant directions, States remain paralysed in the face of the seismic shift represented by the Court’s ruling and appear unwilling or unable to take the necessary steps to meet their obligations.

Devastating attacks on Palestinians across the occupied Palestinian territory show that by continuing to turn a blind eye to the horrific plight of the Palestinian people, the international community is furthering genocidal violence. Gaza remains under siege and intense bombardment, with homes, schools, hospitals and densely populated displacement camps sheltering thousands, routinely attacked. The extent of the resulting environmental destruction and contamination in Gaza are still to be fully assessed. The scale of destruction of Palestinian landscape and urban fabric, including schools and universities, hospitals, the violations of housing, land and property, the pollution and degradation of the environment, and exploitation of natural resources, is extreme in Gaza and spreading across the rest of the occupied territory, prompting allegations of domicide, urbicide, scholasticide, medicide, cultural genocide and, more recently, ecocide. Extreme violence and intimidation against Palestinians in the West Bank, and military assaults against the cities of Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarem Tubas, and in rural areas, where Palestinians practise pastoralism, are all escalating.

States must act now. They must listen to voices calling on them to take action to stop Israel’s attacks against the Palestinians and end its unlawful occupation. All States have a legal obligation to comply with the ICJ’s ruling and must promote adherence to norms that protect civilians. Therefore, States should:

1.Immediately review all diplomatic, political, and economic interactions with Israel to ensure they do not support or provide aid or assistance to its unlawful presence in the occupied Palestinian territory.

2.Abstain from recognising or take steps to reverse any recognition of any changes in the physical character or demographic composition, institutional structure or status of the occupied Palestinian territory, including in their treaty relations with Israel, and while acting as members of international organisations.

3.Take all measures to ensure that the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory can fully exercise and realise their right to self-determination including by recognition of the State of Palestine.

4.Impose a full arms embargo on Israel, halting all arms agreements, imports, exports and transfers, including of dual-use items that could be used against the Palestinian population under occupation.

5.Ban goods and services emerging from both the colonisation of occupied Palestinian territory and other unlawful activities that may be detrimental to Palestinians’ rights, from entering their territory and markets, and take measures to label and permit goods and services emerging from Palestinian individuals and entities in occupied territory.

6.Cancel or suspend economic relationships, trade agreements and academic relations with Israel that may contribute to its unlawful presence and apartheid regime in the occupied Palestinian territory.

7.Impose sanctions, including asset freezes, on Israeli individuals, entities including businesses, corporations and financial institutions, involved in the unlawful occupation and apartheid regime as well as on any foreign or domestic entities and individuals subject to their jurisdiction that supply goods and services that may aid, assist or enable occupation and apartheid.

8.Prevent all of their citizens who hold dual citizenship with Israel from serving in the Israeli military or other services that contribute to the occupation and apartheid regime or from buying or renting property anywhere in occupied Palestinian territory.

9.Investigate and prosecute those subjects to their jurisdiction, who are involved in crimes in the occupied Palestinian territory, including dual citizens serving in Israel’s military, including mercenaries or those involved in settler violence.

10.Rescind legislation and policies that criminalise and penalise advocacy in support of Palestinian rights to self-determination and non-violent opposition to Israel’s occupation and apartheid, including support for the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement.

11.Disseminate the Court’s findings widely, ensuring that the occupied status of the West Bank including east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and the illegality of Israel’s presence are reflected in public documents and education systems.

12.Make submissions to the ICC so that it investigates international crimes included in the ICJ opinion.

13.Convene General Assemblies of States parties under the Rome Statute or the Fourth Geneva Convention, to ensure full compliance by all parties in Palestine and Israel with international humanitarian law and international criminal law.

14.Ensure full protection of Palestinians, especially women, children, persons with disabilities, and older persons by establishing a protective presence and ensuring safe and full access for independent experts and mechanisms charged with monitoring and investigating human rights violations and international crimes in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Decisive action is needed. Facing irresponsible inaction by most governments, it is now incumbent upon civil society organisations and National Human Rights Institutions to mobilise and call on their states to comply with the ICJ’s landmark Advisory Opinion. It is time to knock on the doors of every political leader and responsible official ministry across the world to bring an end to Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid, oppression of, and onslaught against the Palestinian people, and ultimately ensure truth, justice and accountability. We owe this especially to women and children, who have been disproportionately affected by the current catastrophe.

Failure to act now jeopardises the entire edifice of international law and rule of law in world affairs.”

[Stupid Government Tricks]

Refuted.

[Rob Misek]

This is what you’re saying about yourself when you parrot “refuted”.

1. You’re upset by something I’ve said.
2. You’re too stupid to actually refute it.
3. You’re too bigoted to consider that what you can’t refute might be true.
4. You’re too stupid to consider your dilemma in silence.
5. You’re so angry that you’ll make a fool of yourself trying to anger me too.
6. In the case of a hasbara troll you’re willing to say all that about yourself for a few shekels.

Like I say to all fuckwits, prove it.

Clearly describe how you have specifically refuted anything that I’ve said with correctly applied logic and science AND provide a link to it so we can all fact check your claim.

[Rob Misek]

I’m pleased with the optics.

[Henweigh]

The UN has no real power here. They are pawns in the big game.

[Rob Misek]

Power?

Armies, no the UN doesn’t have any military power.

Authority as an arbiter of international affairs, the UN has all the power in the world.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Move to Pakistan.

[diver64]

This has been going on for a thousand years in "the religion of peace". Why is this a story?

[Rev Arthur L kuckland (5-30-24 banana republic day)]

He's shocked that the rag heads are violent

[Medulla Oblongata]

Islam is a religion of peace. And Brutus is an honorable man.

[Chumby]

At least the Biden-Harris administration is allowing Mayor Adams an opportunity for a trial for similar blasphemy. Maybe.

[SQRLSY]

"Shoot Syed Khan" for his BAD words!!!

"Hang Mike Pence" for his BAD words in support of peaceful transfers of power, per the tabulated voting results and the USA Constitution!!! Pakistan, we're on our way to join you!

[SQRLSY]

Whoa, the attached link (in the article) is worth a read! Scary shit, Pakistan is full of BUNCHES of savage barbarians!

From there "...in Pakistan, where accusations of blasphemy — sometimes even just rumors — are common and often spark rioting and rampage by mobs that can escalate into lynching and killings."

THIS is where Trumpanzees gone apeshit want to take us! Do ass we say, or we will have a violent hissy fit! We aren't so pure ass the driven slush, here in the USA...

[Fist of Etiquette]

The name of the police officer was not reported.

Muhammad.

[Medulla Oblongata]

Very likely.

[Jerry B.]

Just like the Democrats, except they use lawfare instead of a gun.

[SQRLSY]

So The Emperor need NOT obey the laws of the land? Surely! Applying the law to The Emperor IS lawfare!

The Meeting of the Right Rightist Minds will now come to Odor!

Years ago by now, Our Dear Leader announced to us, that He may commit murder in broad daylight, and we shall still support Him! So He Has Commanded, and So Must Shit be Done!

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/24/donald-trump-says-he-could-shoot-somebody-and-still-not-lose-voters

And now, oh ye Faithful of the Republican Church, Shit Has Become Known Unto us, that Shit is also in His Power and Privilege Ass Well, to murder the USA Constitution in broad daylight. Thus He Has Spoken, and Thus Must Shit Be Done! Thou shalt Render Unto Trump, and simply REND the USA Constitution, and wipe thine wise asses with shit! Do NOT render unto some moldering old scrap of bathroom tissue! Lest we be called fools, or worse!

https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/03/politics/trump-constitution-truth-social/index.html

Proud Boys, STAND with TRUMP, and stand by! And if ye don’t agree 110%, then we don’t need you polluting our world, because all who disagree with us in ANY way are LEFTISTS!!!

There, I think that’s a wrap! I’ve covered shit ALL! You can take the rest of the day off now.

(You’re welcome!)

[mad.casual]

Would Muslims be allowed to view the bodycam footage of derogatory statements about Muhammad? Or would it have to be edited/bleeped by some sort of Imam or something first?

[Stupid Government Tricks]

It's like child porn. Mere possession of the pictures which prove the real crime, of child rape, are so toxic and heinous hat innumerable police and prosecutors must review them, multiple times, before hey become part of the public record, and then the jury must review them as often as necessary, before the charges can be proven and the evil perp sent to prison at taxpayer expense for years and years. For looking at the pictures. But not the police, prosecutors, and jury, who have the magic self-brain-washing powers to remove all the toxic effects and all memory of the toxic effects, after having looked at the same toxic heinous pictures innumerable times.

Honest injun, cross my heart.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Democrats get jealous. Or is it envy?

[Think It Through]

STOP RESISTING.

Come to think of it that's kind of the Muslim m.o. over the last few decades.

[Vesicant]

Gee, I'm glad that could never happen here in (for example) Minneapolis or Springfield.

[holmegm]

That's just what Islam does.

It's like posting a "brickbat" about actual Nazis. These guys were literal Nazi allies.
