Do you know what the word "average" means?

Apparently not.

The point is that disgusting pos like you who had been able to pretend that the slaughter they were complicit in wasn't as bad.

Just like you're pretending you have the right to slaughter Palestinians.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant

On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for  the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023:

Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Statute;

Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health contrary to article 8(2)(a)(iii), or cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i);

Wilful killing contrary to article 8(2)(a)(i), or Murder as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(c)(i);

Intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime contrary to articles 8(2)(b)(i), or 8(2)(e)(i);

Extermination and/or murder contrary to articles 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(a), including in the context of deaths caused by starvation, as a crime against humanity;

Persecution as a crime against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(h);

Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(k).

#My Office submits that the evidence we have collected, including interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses, authenticated video, photo and audio material, satellite imagery and statements from the alleged perpetrator group, shows that Israel has intentionally and systematically deprived the civilian population in all parts of Gaza of objects indispensable to human survival.

You're an illiterate brainwashed nationalist. I never said 52000 civilians.

Youre defending the slaughter of women and children you disgusting pos.

The burden of proof is on the entity doing the killing, dipshit.

I wish people like you had to actually show their face when defending this utter drivel. You wouldn't have the balls to, and thus would keep your moronic mouth shut.

You keep stomping your foot and denying reality. Must be sharing the feelings of average Germans at the end of the war when they had to face up to what they had allowed to go on.

Israel will face consequences for these crimes on humanity.

My Office submits that the war crimes alleged in these applications were committed in the context of an international armed conflict between Israel and Palestine, and a non-international armed conflict between Israel and Hamas (together with other Palestinian Armed Groups) running in parallel. We submit that the crimes against humanity charged were committed as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the Palestinian civilian population pursuant to State policy. These crimes, in our assessment, continue to this day.

My Office submits that the evidence we have collected, including interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses, authenticated video, photo and audio material, satellite imagery and statements from the alleged perpetrator group, shows that Israel has intentionally and systematically deprived the civilian population in all parts of Gaza of objects indispensable to human survival.

This occurred through the imposition of a total siege over Gaza that involved completely closing the three border crossing points, Rafah, Kerem Shalom and Erez, from 8 October 2023 for extended periods and then by arbitrarily restricting the transfer of essential supplies – including food and medicine – through the border crossings after they were reopened. The siege also included cutting off cross-border water pipelines from Israel to Gaza – Gazans’ principal source of clean water – for a prolonged period beginning 9 October 2023, and cutting off and hindering electricity supplies from at least 8 October 2023 until today. This took place alongside other attacks on civilians, including those queuing for food; obstruction of aid delivery by humanitarian agencies; and attacks on and killing of aid workers, which forced many agencies to cease or limit their operations in Gaza.

My Office submits that these acts were committed as part of a common plan to use starvation as a method of war and other acts of violence against the Gazan civilian population as a means to (i) eliminate Hamas; (ii) secure the return of the hostages which Hamas has abducted, and (iii) collectively punish the civilian population of Gaza, whom they perceived as a threat to Israel.

The effects of the use of starvation as a method of warfare, together with other attacks and collective punishment against the civilian population of Gaza are acute, visible and widely known, and have been confirmed by multiple witnesses interviewed by my Office, including local and international medical doctors. They include malnutrition, dehydration, profound suffering and an increasing number of deaths among the Palestinian population, including babies, other children, and women.

Famine is present in some areas of Gaza and is imminent in other areas. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned more than two months ago, “1.1 million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger – the highest number of people ever recorded – anywhere, anytime” as a result of an “entirely manmade disaster”. Today, my Office seeks to charge two of those most responsible, NETANYAHU and GALLANT, both as co-perpetrators and as superiors pursuant to Articles 25 and 28 of the Rome Statute.

Israel, like all States, has a right to take action to defend its population. That right, however, does not absolve Israel or any State of its obligation to comply with international humanitarian law. Notwithstanding any military goals they may have, the means Israel chose to achieve them in Gaza – namely, intentionally causing death, starvation, great suffering, and serious injury to body or health of the civilian population – are criminal.

and some brainworm is causing you to interpret that to mean “42,000 civilians.”

I laughed out loud. You're extremely brainwashed, my man.

You're doing what's known as "guilty-before-proven-innocent".

Disgusting.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/8/15/israel-kills-more-than-40000-palestinians-in-gaza-16456-of-them-children

Israel’s relentless war on Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, at least 16,456 of them children and over 11,000 women.

Slaughtering women, children and murdering aid workers, and yet you have the audacity to claim "they were probably all part of the Palestinian armed forces" oh wait such a force doesn't exist? Hamas, you mean, which isn't the same as Palestine?

Doesn't matter what cognitive highjinks you get up to, you're defending people slaughtering women and children you disgusting pos.

Israel bombs schools and hospitals and cries "yeah they were actually hamas".

And you don't see through that? You're Israeli, aren't you? Jewish, at least.

There are no figures for Gazan civilian casualties.

People like you are why the world is so shit.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war

As of 8 September 2024, over 42,000 people (40,972 Palestinian[1] and 1,478 Israeli[13]) have been reported as killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 116 journalists according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (111 Palestinian, 2 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[14], 134 journalists and media workers according to the International Federation of Journalists (127 Palestinian, 4 Israeli and 3 Lebanese)[15] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA.[16]

Or is this the part where you're gonna push Zionist propaganda about how there's no way to know how many of those TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DEAD were "actually civilians", despite most of them being children?

What the fuck are you smoking, my man? Propaganda straight from netanyahu's asshole?

More than 26,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Israel’s unrelenting bombardment of Gaza with some 10,000 believed to be still missing under the rubble. At least 1.8 million Palestinians have been internally displaced and are deprived of access to adequate food, water, shelter, sanitation, and medical assistance

Yes, sure.

But like I'm sure the city doesn't write that down as a goal on official papers, even when they know that's what theyre doing.

Well shit, that could be better! Hopefully you can find the right person to help figure the things out.

Thanks. I recently found a great therapist. British, and we use English. Because he's not Finnish, he's not blinded by the culture and I can actually get someone to understand the issues I have.

Well, since the US had a lot of police abuse things, you now have pretty strict laws on procedure, warrants issued by a judge, Miranda rights, etc. I'm not saying those always get followed, but if they're caught not following, people can sue for a lot. Here I the warrant just needs to be a oral permission from a high ranking police, but when I actually got the warrant in paper, it was backdated 2 months after the search. And I can't find anyone who'd find a problem with that.

At least the US has the sort of defense lawyer that Better Call Saul parodies a bit.

Essentially Finnish people trust too much in their systems — and not without reason — but that trust for a long time has made it so that no-one sees if they work. And unchecked power does what unchecked powers does, no matter the nation.

That said, try some comedy. Standup, movies, records, whatever. Laughter is the best medicine.

Dude I think I've watched all the comedy. And drama. And fantasy. And scifi. Several thousands of hours, I'd say. ST: TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise. Tng at least 3x Voyager 2x. House MD like 5x. Fry and Laurie. All QI. All WILTY. All Taskmaster. All big fat quizes. All specials from a lot of standups. Family guy, American Dad, Taika Waititis shows; What We Do in the Shadows, Our Flag Means Death.

Laughter might be the best medicine, but things which make me laugh nowadays are pretty rare.

I think the easiest thing "plot-wise" is to endow the magical object itself with a sort of sentience. Like not as much as the Sorting Hat in HP, but to the tune of that.

I strongly feel Vision definitely is sentient, as anyone who's seen TNG would know the arguments made for Data, and they very much apply here. If we assume the first, and there is something in the hammer that judges people, then yeah, it's hard to explain how some can move the hammer a bit, but not gain the power, despite the wording of the spell. Cap almost moves the hammer, even making tor raise an eyebrow slightly. So perhaps there's "degrees of worthiness". And Vision is pretty high up there, but not "have all the power" high. Or perhaps the power just didn't manifest at all because Vision didn't even try to "tap into" it. Who knows, comics can explain it however they feel like.

But I would not agree that Vision is "an elevator".

"Prove to the court I am sentient." - Captain Picard (from "ST:TNG The Measure of a Man")

These are fun to talk about but yeah, it does boil down to "take your pick." Still, doesn't mean we can't have fun theorising.

Fair enough.

Although I'd call it the Picard tug or something, perhaps. Huehue

This is the sort of thing that I love reading on the internet.

Sorry to disappoint you, but most of that text is found offline — as it's an excerpt from Douglas Adam's "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" (sequel to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"). I probably should've attributed it.

If only doing things from the PoV of the speaker (you), that means 6~9 tenses for what most languages have 2 (past and non-past) or 3 (past, present, future).

And then you'd have to account who knows what, which version of a person you're talking to. Say you're having a conversation with someone before traveling in time to a time in which they've not timetraveled, so it's either their subjective past or future, but then you continue the conversation, so you'd have to account for both the speakers perspective and the person being spoken to, who would then be subject to two different tense "totalities" since the conversation with them would have been taking place in two different times at the same time.

I seriously suggest reading Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett for that sort of thing. I used to use Pratchett books as a substitute for weed when I was a bit over twenty.

Exactly.

The Picard Maneuver was born out of desperation during the battle. The Stargazer, which was damaged, suddenly accelerated into high warp directly towards the Ferengi ship. By doing so the Stargazer appeared to ship's sensors, for an instant, to be in two places at once.
