On March 22nd, this journalist detailed the findings of a UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on “Israel’s systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since 7 October 2023.” That investigation focused primarily on the hideous, industrial scale rape and sexual abuse of male and female Palestinian detainees in Zionist Occupation Force prisons, a phenomenon so pervasive it can only be dedicated, determined policy, signed off upon and directed by the highest levels of the Israeli government.
Reinforcing that horrifying conclusion, buried within the Commission’s report are bombshell passages unequivocally charging the Zionist entity with deliberately committing “genocidal acts” in Gaza, consciously and intentionally “calculated to bring about the physical destruction of Palestinians as a group.” The details provided are irresistibly persuasive, and point to Israel being in flagrant breach of both the Rome Statute, and Genocide Convention. In a truly just world, the mainstream media’s mass omertà on this landmark ruling would in itself be a criminal act.

Gotta get this news from some random blog because imperial news won’t talk about it.
Yup, and this isn’t the exception to the rule. It’s the rule, as I try to explain: https://lemmy.ml/comment/12094932
Remember, kids: Don’t do genocide, or else after only two years of murdering people wholesale the UN might say something about it and let you keep murdering.

But if you try to liberate half of your country from illegally established military occupation and dictatorship they will immediately send 2 million soldiers against you, kill 20% of your population and bomb you till there is nothing more to bomb, then make you the most sanctioned country in history for 70 years and counting.
so it took that long for it to even be acknowledged
In history books, the editorial remarks will say that it took Global Powers 77 years to acknowledge a genocide. 108 years if you start counting from 1917.
So glad the second league of nations exists; maybe the third one will take less than two years to say something (not do; let’s not get too overly ambitious here) about an actual, livestreamed genocide, complete with actual video evidence of SV and people protesting in favor of the SVers and turning them into folk heroes. The guy was literally evidence that ‘never meet your heroes’ isn’t a hard and fast rule; the more of a war criminal scum he was, the more it elevated him in the eyes of his fellow citizens.
The people literally presenting video evidence of their genocide are being told by the prior genocide nation it’s not really a genocide and that actually everything in all that footage is actually okay. One wonders how the prior genocide nation more than just showing its face in public is actually vocally defending the latest genocide. If Naziland has any thoughts on the matter, better to keep them to itself than revive the public opinion that Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin.
Hard to feel bad for the genocided when they become the genociders! Free Palestine!
It’s anti-semitic to conflate judaism with zionism.
Jews were genocided by nazis, while zionists collaborated with nazis.
Israelis claim victimhood for their own deeds. Nothing changed the past 80 years.
If this is true then that’s great news. Unfortunately the article seems to have been written by someone who is very clearly biased against Israel and not ashamed of airing that dirty laundry in public (which, fair enough, that describes me too, but I wouldn’t trust me to write an unbiased article on the subject either) so I can’t take this single source’s word on it. I’ll definitely keep an ear out in case any more reporting gets done on it from elsewhere.
Edit: To the people downvoting and replying to this: please read past the ‘biased against Israel’ part - especially to the bit where I say that I am also biased against Israel - before assuming that I’m some pro-Israel shill here.
You can avoid having your war crimes listed by not committing war crimes. Hope this helps!
You can avoid grossly misunderstanding the point of someone’s comment by reading the whole thing, too.
very clearly biased against Israel and not ashamed
As is any decent person who’s been paying close enough attention.
Not all biases are bad, and being biased against a fascist apartheid regime committing genocide is an excellent proof of that.
Having a bias against the Israeli government is having a bias in favor of accuracy and against atrocious human rights violations.
Did you not catch this part?
which, fair enough, that describes me too
I’m not saying the bias is a problem in general, it’s just a problem for the trustworthiness of the reporting because they could be reading stuff into the source material that isn’t there.

And I’m saying that you’re wrong. Everyone has biases, and my comment above still applies when you’re writing about it.
I’d trust reporting that’s clearly biased in favor of the truth over the mealy mouthed forced neutrality of main stream sources any day.
Everyone has biases
Yes, which is why I try to get my news from more than one source so that I can tell whether or not it’s just someone reading something into a thing that wasn’t actually there or if multiple people with different perspectives have seen the same thing.

Can’t take anyone seriously unless they’re fair and balanced towards a genocidal military dictatorship.
I can’t take this single source’s word on it
Fortunately, they link to the original material.
Also can’t take anyone seriously who can’t read the comment they’re replying to.

I am also biased against Israel, for what I feel ought to be some pretty self-evident reasons, but a single highly biased source reporting something is not news.
Fortunately, they link to the original material.
Yeah, fair enough, I just wasn’t up for reading the ~50 page report myself to find out if what they said was true.

You could Ctrl+F to find the relevant bits fairly easily.
But this demand isn’t skeptical, it is cynical. “I don’t believe you because I’m offended by your tone” is miles away from “I don’t believe you because I haven’t seen enough evidence”.
“I don’t believe you because I’m offended by your tone” is miles away from “I don’t believe you because I haven’t seen enough evidence”.
It’s neither of those: it’s I want to believe you, but you’re the only person I’ve seen mention this and I want to make sure it’s legit by hearing it from multiple sources.
Bias is when you report the court ruling, the more you report the court ruling the more bias you have.
I guess you guys are ditching the strategy of denying the genocide now, and moving on to “biased tone” or some shit idk.
