“We are called a nation of martyrs,” said another top Hamas official, Ghazi Hamad. “And we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.”

Why this dynamic receives no discussion in #genocide says everything about the prevailing agenda.

The very layout and structure of the Gaza strip, down to the number of hospitals, has been calculated to maximize martyrs.

Yet this goes unremarked.

"South Africa also unduly limited the scope of its litigation by confining it only to the question of violation of the Convention against Genocide adopted in 1948 immediately after World War II."

https://www.justsecurity.org/91448/international-courts-as-the-last-hope-for-humanity/

Ya don't say. It can be said that 99.999% of posts on the #fediverse have similarly, and unduly, limited the scope of litigation.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/reconsidering-the-goldstone-report-on-israel-and-war-crimes/2011/04/01/AFg111JC_story.html

"Simply put, the laws of armed conflict apply no less to non-state actors such as Hamas than they do to national armies."

#hamas #gaza #genocide #thehague #icj

Why this isn't self evident is one for the ages. That Hamas isn't standing tall in front of the man is reprehensible.

@jeffowski@mastodon.world @dogpile@dmv.community@ariaflame@masto.ai where I'll agree with you guys is when the #ccp in particular is giving every indication of taking the guiderails off and using #ai for #cognitivewarfare then things get particularly dark. However, that doesn't mean that there aren't positive applications.

I would only say that the chatbot aspect is groundbreaking. It's arguably going to change graphic art, and, maybe more significantly, music. Its ability to churn our code is impressive, if of limited utility.

you fool, you cannot even defend your claim because you're now realizing that there's more than one way to skin a cat. As I've repeatedly told you, ICJ. ICJ for this is entirely possible. But not a reality you can face.

@OrionKidder@mas.to @QasimRashid@mastodon.social shortly after repeatedly, and without basis, accusing me of supporting genocide, and now fascism, you post this gem.

demonstrating that you were disingenuous from the get go, and, by your own admission, trolling.

@ariaflame@masto.ai @atzanteol@techhub.social @dogpile@dmv.community @jeffowski@mastodon.world I've only used in the most cursory way, but it generates boilerplate. Apparently you can feed in documentation and get at least something back. Which is on the way to something interesting. Not sure that we're talking matrix level singularity, but something. The more general the input is the more remarkable. I was impressed. But, perhaps I'm easily impressed. The proof's in the pudding. as to #gigo ideally it would just be io, sans garbage.

so few here are able to get past point #1 from #jakesullivan as:

"The war began on October 7th when Hamas massacred 1,200 people and took more than 200 hostages. There was a ceasefire in place on October 6th. Sinwar broke it. "

#genocide #ceasefirenow

There *was* a ceasefire in place on Oct 6 -- kinda basic.
