I often find that when I'm criticising something to be specific about what; in this case, which guideline you think I am in violation of. Given the quote from Jason: > This works so much better when there are living people who care.

by dijit 8mo ago
I mean, by the letter of things I am assuming that Jason is supporting the genocide of Palestinians. Nobody living would care anymore, I guess.

Because the Global Terrorism Database records non-state terrorist attacks. State military action is categorised separately: that's not an omission, it's a definition , but you know that- you're playing stupid. The same da

Deleted it, yeah, I've decided it wasn't worth it. Still isn't, mostly. This will be my last comment to you, I don't want to engage with someone so comfortable at defending genocide. One final fact check for you: a state

Israel has been at the table at Oslo, Camp David, Taba and Annapolis. Palestinian leadership walked away from each without a counter-proposal. That's not a secret.

Iran are the good guys? What topsy-turvy land have I wandered into? They've funded Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis for decades. They've assassinated dissidents on foreign soil. They sentence people to death for apostasy and flog

"It's perfectly natural that Gazans would support the extermination of Jews." That's not a point about colonialism or occupation; that's a justification for ethnic extermination based on the conditions of the peopl

This is settled in international humanitarian law. Per Human Rights Watch, citing ICRC guidance: "reservists of national armed forces are considered civilians except when they go on duty." [1] Off-duty at a music festival unamb

No, I think you're accusing me of a position I don't really have because I don't like Hamas or Israel, but you think my condemnation of Hamas is support of Israel or that by pointing out Israeli suffering I am turning a bli

For onlookers: the final paragraph is in Swedish. It calls me a far-right nationalist and racist. Draw your own conclusions about how that fits the pattern of this exchange. On substance: 72% of October 7th victims were civilians by Israe

Come off it, that's a technicality and everyone knows the meaning. An uncharitable person would easily debunk this by making claims about the idea that 'because of israel they can't have a state to be civilian of' and th

"What was different this time was that it was Israel who was the victim." You've just described the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust [1] as a blip because, in your accounting, it was Israel's turn to absorb one

Of the 378 people killed at and around Nova, 16 were off-duty soldiers attending the rave and 4 were killed fighting [1]. That's 20 out of 378 ... so about 5%. So even by the standard you're proposing, Hamas massacred around 358

Because it's a different argument to the one being made, and addressing seventeen things at once is how threads become unreadable. But since you're asking: go up four comments and you'll find it already addressed there in s

... A discrete incident with a defined start, end, perpetrator and location. (As opposed to a 77-year conflict involving multiple states, wars and actors.) Now ask me one on sport.

"I've not made an argument" is a fascinating claim immediately after quoting someone who used aggregate scale to call October 7th a "blip"- and agreeing with them. Providing context in support of a conclusion is

by dijit 8mo ago
Remarkable. You've managed to read a comment that cited the ICJ, called out Israel's non-compliance with binding provisional measures, and explicitly said there's "plenty to condemn"; and concluded the position is
679.
by dijit 8mo ago
Most of what you say I don't disagree with. Israel's conduct since October 8th (the civilian death toll, the aid blockade, the flattening of hospitals) is legitimate to call out. The ICJ found the genocide claim plausible enough

"The main thrust targeted military installations"— of 1,139 confirmed dead, 828 were civilians. That's 72%. They also massacred 364 people at a music festival, which Hamas later described as a "coincidence" becaus

by dijit 8mo ago
Nobody cherry-picked anything. Per capita, single-event, it's the number that answers the claim that was actually made — that October 7th was a "blip." What you're doing now is a different argument entirely: aggregate c

by dijit 8mo ago
The reaction is worse in what sense, exactly? Raw numbers? Then you're back to the same argument as above, where October 7th (again, the third deadliest terrorist attack since records began in 1970) somehow doesn't count. Nobody

by dijit 8mo ago
"small blip" isn't a political take, it's just wrong. October 7th was the deadliest per capita terrorist attack since the Global Terrorism Database started recording in 1970 [1]. Globally, it's third on the all-tim

Calm your tits, it’s pretty clear I meant slavic nations, and yes: even the January 7th stuff is not celebrated like we do in the west. I’m trying to convey to people why its materially a red-herring that “russians” wouldn’t work on the 25t

I like Rust, though I’m not zealous about it. Sometimes when you have a really good tool, you want to share it. This was the case with Linux for many people over many years. FWIW I agree that the community has some frustrating elements, and

You’re right, it’s totally acceptable to arrest someone for saying we love bacon at the vacant construction site of a potential mosque. I’m sure the construction equipment was very unhappy.

You can disagree, that's fine. But anything you can touch has the risk of being forged or destroyed. The whole point of bank notes was that they're centrally backed- someone would take the responsibility of ensuring that it's
