At risk? They are actively experiencing a genocide

[-] fishos@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

I think they mean "at risk of completing full genocide", sadly enough.

"it's not technically a genocide, if it's still in progress"

The world really hasn't paid attention to this particular conflict, until now.

UN protocols demands being careful when using certain terms when referring to a given event before a proper resolution or investigation has been carried out. If you follow the news, you will notice that they warn about obviously blatant war crimes as "might be a war crime". What's noticeable isn't that they're following their own protocols, but that they're bringing the war crimes to everyone's attention.

Gotta put the ultra orthodox settlers somewhere. Netanyahu thinks it's free land

The Israeli mission to the U.N. in Geneva called the comments "deplorable and deeply concerning" and blamed Hamas for civilian deaths.

(Insert "why would they do this" meme here.)

Hamas is evil, yes, but that doesn't prevent the Israeli government from also being evil.

It's clear and all reasonable people agree, Israel must cease their ethnic cleansing.

Risk?!? The Palestinian's have been murdered for 50+ yrs in a genocidal occupation. Silly UN.

I think Reuters very much know it's genocide. They put the conciliatory language in there to try to mollify people from attacking them. The important thing is a mainstream, reputable, mostly objective news source is socializing the fact that this is a genocide. That's progress.

I guess hornet set the bar to hight so the Israeli gov will only stop when the finally kill more then 6 000 000 innocent civilians.

No for real what haunts me is that they are the descendents of those who survived such massacres over the history only to do it themselves when they finally gained power. (They is Israel'gov)

Edit: Hitler not hornet, wtf sorry guys

"Risk" of genocide? Risk?

They need to update their fucking AI model.

The burning house is at risk of catching fire. The dead man is at risk of heart failure. This headline is at risk of being full of shit.

Netanyahu is committing genocide in Gaza in much the same way that Milosovic did in Bosnia.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


GENEVA, Nov 2 (Reuters) - United Nations experts called on Thursday for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, saying time was running out for Palestinian people there who find themselves at "grave risk of genocide".

Nearly four weeks of Israeli bombardment against the Gaza Strip in retaliation for deadly attacks by Hamas gunmen in southern Israel on Oct. 7 have killed more than 9,000 people, made up of a majority of women and children, health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave say.

"We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide," the group of experts, made up of seven U.N. special rapporteurs, said in a statement.

Speaking to Reuters after the experts' statement was issued, one of its signatories said the people of Gaza had been deprived of the "the most basic elements for living."

"We are using the term risk of genocide because the process that is (underway) is absolutely indiscriminate, affecting, in this case, more than 2 million people," said Pedro Arrojo Agudo, Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation.

"The situation in Gaza has reached a catastrophic tipping point," the U.N. experts said, adding that Gazans had been left with scarce water, medicine, fuel and essential supplies while facing health hazards.

Can we start calling Israel a NAZI state?
