If you’re a hacker cosplaying jfman you need to tone it down a bit, even he’s not generally this unhinged

Sorry, I just thought that a nation defending itself from attack and enacting its right to exist, was now under the umbrella definition of “rogue state”. As seen to be implied by previous posts.

Come back to us when the UN accuses them of genocide.
Quote:
Gaza war: UN rights expert accuses Israel of acts of genocide
A UN human rights expert says she believes Israel has committed "acts of genocide" in Gaza.
Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, presented her report to UN member states in Geneva on Tuesday.
But Israel has already dismissed her findings.
This comes amid growing international pressure on Israel to stop the war or to do much more to protect civilians.
Ms Albanese concluded that "there are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide against Palestinians as a group in Gaza has been met".

Speaking of states that don’t have a volunteer army and a pluralist media, how is your favourite state, Russia?

If the UN actually declared a genocide was, or had, taken place (and they've only done that 3 times Serbia, Rwanda & Cambodia) signatories to the UN convention of genocide would be obligated to put Blue caps on their military and put a stop to it, and arrest those committing the genocide and bring them to the Hague.

Is there any evidence that UN employees took part or can I chalk that up alongside the beheaded babies as an Israeli myth?

Re: Hamas Israel War
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...no-evidence-un
Quote:
A month after Israeli allegations that a dozen United Nations staff were involved in the 7 October Hamas attack, UN investigators have yet to receive any evidence from Israel to support the claims, though they expect some material to be forthcoming “shortly”.
The allegations against the 12 employees of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) led 16 major donors to suspend contributions totalling $450m at a time when more than 2 million Gazans are facing famine. UNRWA says it is approaching “breaking point” and only has sufficient funds to continue functioning for the next month at most.
The UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) launched an investigation on 29 January in the wake of the Israeli allegations initially presented to UNRWA in January, and delivered an update on its work to the UN secretary general, António Guterres, on Wednesday.
Diplomats who saw the OIOS preliminary report said it contained no new evidence from Israel since the initial presentation of the claims in January – which were not backed by any proof. In summarising the findings, the UN spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, confirmed that the investigation had yet to receive corroborating material from Israel.

I'll reword it. Come back to me when a UN rights expert accuses them ie Ukraine of genocide.

Why would they? NATO taking pot shots at the Kersch bridge in Russian Crimea and other bite of energy infrastructure might be poor form but it's not starving hundreds of thousands of people.

Just to be clear, this should read:

Eyewitness statements are evidence.
Photos are evidence.
Videos are evidence.
I will agree that it needs to be corroborated, you can't accept it all at face value, as I wouldn't accept anything from Hamas at face value.

Are there any where the primary source isn't discredited (Israel). I remind everyone, once again, that the claims of 40 beheaded babies didn't happen.
