S_204, in One man’s mission to end the Uyghur genocide in China: a physician, who helped set up a campaign to protest against the persecution of the Uyghurs, says that Jews had “a duty to join the protest”

Interesting how the world is so silent on the genocide clearly occuring in China and focusing on the fastest growing population in the world in Gaza.

Not saying one tragedy is greater than the other, just interested in how social media has influenced the behaviour of the younger generation. Ain’t too many pro Uyghur showing up on tik tok.

With hope, 2024 brings peace to gazans and Uyghurs. I’ve got a feeling it’s closer at hand for the gazans with Hamas on their heels but time will tell.

renard_roux, (edited ) in Ukraine's SBU killed fugitive Ukrainian lawmaker in Russia - source

Didn’t Reuters get bought by a Russian company?

Edit: I’m completely wrong, sorry for spreading dumb rumors.

awwwyissss,

Reuters (and the other wire service AP News) is one of the best places to get news.

renard_roux,

I’m probably misremembering the thing about that Russian state news thing joining them, and they booted that one again this year. My bad.

MaggiWuerze,

No

AndrasKrigare, in Ukraine's SBU killed fugitive Ukrainian lawmaker in Russia - source

I get that doing things the “right way” can be difficult when in an existential war, but I’m having trouble thinking of any goals with these assassinations that aren’t highly concerning.

Hirom,

Deterrance for anyone who’s thinking of defecting to go support the enemy.

This case is a nasty example because it’s not a combatant nor a spy, but a civilian who got killed.

awwwyissss,

Traitors who have cost many innocent lives and oppress people for personal gain are getting a version of the death penalty.

Not shocking to me, and I’m glad every time I hear they took out another one. Like scrubbing slime off a toilet.

Hirom, in Venice: Tourists flip gondola after refusing to stop taking selfies

This looks like a tabloid, ie writing about something sensationalist but not necessarily newsworthy as a trick to get reader engagement.

Banzai51, in China's Xi warns top EU officials not to engage in 'confrontation'
@Banzai51@midwest.social avatar

Putin tried that. How did that work out?

GregorGizeh,

Works out pretty well for him, considering the west is just about done with caring about Ukraine and is dropping support across the board. Soon he will successfully claim the valuable parts of Ukraine he started the war over.

kembik, in Navalny Found in Arctic Prison After 3-Week Disappearance

Wouldn’t surprise me if they created this news cycle intentionally to make the point. Upcoming ‘election’ and all.

Lophostemon, in China's Xi warns top EU officials not to engage in 'confrontation'

Says China, who frequently engages in confrontations.

taanegl,

This, right here. As long as Xi and his government pines for the return to the “central kingdom”, Europeans are going to continue having flashbacks.

Don’t touch those borders.

Linnce, in Iran, child bride and year-long victim of domestic violence Samira Sabzian who killed her 'husband' has been been executed in Ghezelhesar Prison

Fucked up

Lmaydev, in China's Uyghur Drama: Wiping Out An Entire Ethnic Minority --- [documentary in French with English subtitles, 105 min]

It’s not akin to genocide. It is textbook genocide.

Sinicization of Islam in China is genocidal —[Opinion]

It has been reported that more than one million ethnic minorities have been killed, arrested and forced into detention camps/prisons, what is referred to in Beijing as “re-education camps”, like the one witnessed during the Cultural Revolution. In reality, minority people are subjected to humiliation, torture and political indoctrination in these so-called camps to make them “de-radicalised”. China claims this to be an effective way of “tacking extremism”, whereby, once de-radicalised, these people would acquire skills to be employable and contribute to the economy. The mass internment system has affected not only those subjected to the state crackdown but also the family members of those incarcerated, especially children.

t3rmit3, in US reviewing Amnesty International report that said US-made munitions have killed civilians in Gaza

No shit, what did they think Israel was gonna use their munitions they sent them to do?

Israel’s time enjoying US support is officially borrowed, because young Americans are gonna cut that poisonous umbilical the second we can.

And it won’t turn out like they think it will.

I’d like to think that. Honestly I would.

Every indication we’ve seen so far is that they’ll vote Democrat and Republican, and the two major parties have exactly the same position with regard to our relations with Israel.

t3rmit3,

There’s a significant age gap between most of the vocal critics of Israel in congress right now, and its ardent supporters. In even just 15 years a lot of those ardent supporters will be dead. Younger Democrat congresspersons already have a significantly different set of politics than the old guard, and it’s only going to become more apparent as they become the majority, and don’t have to fear censure by the fogeys.

FlashMobOfOne,
@FlashMobOfOne@beehaw.org avatar

I hope you’re right, but I can’t help but be pessimistic about this.

The old may die, but the wealthy will still be in charge, and as we’ve seen with so many issues, like universal background checks or free insulin and birth control, the wealthy have more than enough power to silence the majority, and we enthusiastically vote for it every two years.

taanegl, in US reviewing Amnesty International report that said US-made munitions have killed civilians in Gaza

What does this really mean? Like is an agreement broken? I thought the US gave Israel unfettered access to their stockpile?

Banzai51, (edited )
@Banzai51@midwest.social avatar

Exactly. I’d be shocked if they DIDN’T find US munitions.

Pratai, in ‘Zombie deer disease’ epidemic spreads in Yellowstone as scientists raise fears it may jump to humans

Somehow this will end up being Obama’s fault.

Pratai, in Russia bans anti-war candidate from challenging Putin

Has the world known a bigger coward?

MagicShel, in UN chief uses rare power to warn Security Council of impending ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ in Gaza

Impending? I think the issue is there has been a humanitarian crisis there for decades and no one has done jack shit.

Aidinthel,

Au contraire! Isreal has been working hard to end the humanitarian crisis by the simplist possible method: getting rid of all the people.

DdCno1,

They must be terrible at it then:

jarfil,

Not all the people, just the “wrong” people. And let’s not forget Palestinians have been trying to “produce” more people as quickly as possible, to the point they’re “about to win” the demographic competition, against even the orthodox jews who are at the same time trying to reach 25% of Israel’s population in order to become the “spiritual leaders” for others to fight their wars.
