Okay but this one goes hard though

how the fuck are American men getting more conservative since the 2010s

what the fuck silly specs are they looking at the world through (I am aware that the answer is patriarchy)

this is why it’s cold dogs only for me personally, unlike a lot of you I’ve done my research

also not a lawyer but I’m betting that “take all measures within its power” carries a lot of weight, Israel is free to say “we did the best we could but if we were any more careful than the evil Hamas would get away and kill all Israelis so we actually can’t kill any fewer civilians than we are now”. Speculation, but also that would be far from the most evil rhetoric Israel has used.

Does anybody have any information as to what the accountability and enforcement mechanisms of this ruling are?

do it, comrade

Just the rulings bit taken from the summary and trimmed down:

The full text of the operative clause of the Order reads as follows: “For these reasons, THE COURT , Indicates the following provisional measures:

(1) By fifteen votes to two, The State of Israel shall, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular:

(a) killing members of the group;

(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

© deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and

(d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

[…]

(2) By fifteen votes to two, The State of Israel shall ensure with immediate effect that its military does not commit any acts described in point 1 above;

[…]

(3) By sixteen votes to one, The State of Israel shall take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip;

[…]

(4) By sixteen votes to one, The State of Israel shall take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip;

[…]

(6) By fifteen votes to two, The State of Israel shall submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order within one month as from the date of this Order.

omissions by “[…]” are just the names of each judge and whether they approved or dissented.

seems like an overreach - COVID is a vascular disease, yeah? so it stands to reason that Americans, with our arteries blocked by chunks of hamburger meat, would be less vulnerable, due to the increased difficulty of the virus penetrating our vascular systems

I listened to like 6 or 7 minutes of one episode and didnt really like it so I never listened to it ever again

transtextual

me when I frew up and I have to go tell mom and dad

hot take, I believe he’s talented and has a good voice but regardless it’s still shit even despite that because of his wormed up brain

if not for hugging, then why friend shaped?

cis men should have to pass a written exam before they are allowed to use the internet

Hot take: yes, depending on who you’re talking to, where, and why. Here on Hexbear we’ve pretty thoroughly decided that we’re not trying to impress libs. I think that’s a good thing. That said, I think if anyone is genuinely concerned about converting a lib, particularly if you’re venturing on to other instances, I’ve had much better experiences trying to pull people to the left one step at a time. If you open with “Stalin was good actually”, you have burned the bridge 100% of the way, you will not get a single thing through to them, they will dig in their heels and double down, and they think you’re a genocide denier and you want to gas Ukrainians or something. Pull them one step leftwards and then let the next person pull them one more step than that.

this makes me feel better, i went and scrolled back on their account and saw some extremely wild takes but in context that makes sense

Here to say this is photoshopped?

White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that “the assistance we were providing has come to a halt.”

The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

kinda very misleading headline tbh
