  Can you try to make your point without the sarcasm? What are you trying to say about the linked document? There seems to be pretty clear evidence that facebook stoked the flames of racial / ethnic violence, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this without the veneer of irony to keep you safe.

  interesting, another British Mandate that was dissolved in 1948 if only they were good clients for our defense contractors, then we might have been peer pressured to make a statement of some sort too poor so no statements

    Could you clarify who the groups are you refer to here? ‘Our’ and ‘We’ are used and I don’t follow sorry. Apologies if this is obvious.

      "Our" and "We" refer to US citizens that have no heritage to the affected region, in this context

I entirely lost any trust in Amnesty last year when they published a report criticizing the Ukrainian military for fighting in urban areas during the current war, calling it a human rights violation.

  What specifically do you dislike in the report?

    For me it was very clear to me what they didn't like in the report from their comment. Not to you?

      Do they a) Not think that such actions are not a human rights violation; or b) think such a conclusion should not have been reached about Ukraine, given its underdog/victim position in that war? Or, less likely based on the comment, but still possible, c) they don't think such actions occurred?

      I don't know if they believe that the report is factually incorrect, that it omits important information, or that it draws incorrect moral conclusions from correct empirical premises.
