I for one will be holding my representatives responsible who continue to vote for the US to enable a genocide. The videos coming out of Gaza have turned me and many others into single issue voters.

#302Wonder why this made the frontpage when other political articles die. Has the rules around political non technical articles changed? Can we get an Epstein thread for the frontpage sometime this week?
C'mon man, the Charlie Kirk post stayed on the front-page for a pretty long time.
With the amount of moderation that post seemed to be taking, I fully expected it to be killed quickly. Was pretty surprised it stayed up.

Hamas is a terrorist organisation. Does it need to be condemned? Is Hamas a legitimate, recognised state and member of the UN? Israel is a sovereign state and member of the UN; it is therefore subject to higher standards. It should leave the UN or withdraw its staff, incl. its ambassador, if it does not like the UN.
Hamas is the government of Gaza.

Israel seems like a very ineffective bully considering that the UN consistently condemns them the most vs. any other country in the world. https://unwatch.org/un-condemns-israel-17-times-6-on-rest-of... But for me, this says more about the nature of the UN than that of Israel.

At this point any Israel supporter can’t really afford to care about anybody’s opinion on human rights, so it doesn’t matter who is saying this. I’m sure the UN doesn’t expect their report to influence the people committing the genocide they are documenting: they hope to influence the rest of the world.

Reality: The report was written by a 3 person UNHRC commission, which itself is seated by Ethiopia, Congo, Sudan, and Qatar.

It can either end in the death of one side, most probably Palestinians, or in peace agreement. Currently there is war, peace is out of the window. First step is to stop the war, second step is to make both side actually negotiate. It was attempted by Clinton a while ago but assassinations from mossad and hamas prevented the process to success. To be honest, politicians have failed us too many times for my sad brain t…

No, normal people understand very well that they are. They are the children of Palestinians who were murdered or ethnically-cleansed in the Nakba and then locked up in an open-air prison. They are the resistance to zionist-colonialism. You obviously can't describe them as such, since you are a Zionist for whom such primitive smears are useful propaganda designed to deny them the internationally recognized right to armed resistance.

I'm sorry but Qatar is part of neutral commission? Israel just bombed them. It was a bad for Israel to do, but this isn't "third-party."

Francesca Albanese has held the genocide line since day one as the UN special rapporteur on israel and palestine
She's hardly impartial. Her husband worked for the Palestinian Authority.
Ooh, can we dismiss all statements from someone who is related to someone who worked for the Israeli government or was in the IDF too?
Wait, you know people who were killed by Hamas? You can’t even pretend to be impartial.
