Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, global scholars association says
A global association of genocide scholars has adopted a resolution stating that Israel’s military actions in the Gaza Strip meet the legal definition of genocide, the group’s president confirmed on Monday.
Eighty-six percent of those who voted among the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars backed the resolution, which declares "Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)."
Since its founding in 1994, the genocide scholars' association has passed nine resolutions recognizing historic or ongoing episodes as genocides.

Gaza is, by far, the safest and most well fed place on Earth. There is not a single civilian anywhere in there who feels the least bit peckish. I was in there yesterday and everybody told me that they were having nothing but the time of their lives, constantly eating all of their gourmet meals generously provided by the IDF. If given the choice between taking my family to either Disneyland or Gaza, I would choose Gaza without a second’s hesitation. Easily. No contest.
The only conceivable reason that the United Nations, the ICRC, The Lancet, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and more than one hundred other organizations would condemn the war on Hamas is that they want to exterminate the Jewish race, just like anybody who opposes the Ukrainian government is a Russian troll who wants Putin to annex Ukraine and genocide millions of European people with blond hair and blue eyes. If all of those thousands of so-called ‘experts’ and ‘scholars’ had my superior brain, they’d agree wholeheartedly.
The IDF are the most moral army in the world and are not oppressing anybody whatsoever in Gaza. I’m not saying that the IDF are perfect, but if you found evidence of the IDF committing war crimes, it wasn’t evidence of the IDF committing war crimes. So relax, keep calm and everything will be perfectly fine as long as you keep sending us those tax dollars. I promise.
Signed,
Benjamin Netanyahu

The EU is a Neoliberal Institution that cannot be reformed
The EU parliament (the supposed democratic heart of the EU) can't propose its own legislation. It can only approve, reject or make minor adjustments to legislation handed down by the unelected European Commission. The European Commission itself gets its instructions from the "Eurogroup" which consists of a few unelected wealthy finance ministers that offer no transparency of their meetings.
##A "competitive free market economy" is mandatory for EU member states (economy-finance.ec.europa.eu/i…)
##Neoliberal TFEU (Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) articles:
Article 81
Prohibits government intervention in the economy "which may affect trade between member states"
Article 107
Prohibits state aid to strategic national industries
Article 121
Gives the European Council and European Commission the right to "Formulate ... the broad guidelines of the economic policies of the member states and of the union"
Article 126
Regulates the disciplinary measures to be adopted in case of excessive deficit
Article 151
Says that the EU's Labour and Social Policy shall take account of the need to "Maintain the competitiveness of the union economy"

That's all true, but the most likely outcome here is that it'll be the small independent farmers that go under, and big corps will scoop up their assets further increasing capital concentration at the top.
Also, while the whole corn industry does need to go away, this isn't going to be a controlled unwinding of it and will lead to a huge economic shock in the US.

“The situation in the Westbank might be like Apartheid, but not the state of Israel.”
This is wrong. Israel is an apartheid regime through and through.
Stop whitewashing Zionist apartheid and settler colonialism.
One of the many examples:
Israel has long used discriminatory laws and policies to separate Palestinians from their families. For example, Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza cannot gain legal status in Israel or occupied East Jerusalem through marriage, denying their rights to family unification. This policy has forced thousands of Palestinians to live apart from their loved ones; others are forced to go abroad, or live in constant fear of being arrested, expelled or deported.
These measures explicitly target Palestinians, and not Jewish Israelis, and are primarily guided by demographic considerations that aim to minimize Palestinian presence inside Israel/OPT.

Perhaps this is a community that should be inherently decentralised, given its role in the ActivityPub ecosystem.
Apparently from this discussion and others before, when the SocialHub was actually not federated, the Fedizens are expecting this to be fully decentralized in the sense you and @devnull described.
how:
Fedizens are expecting this to be fully decentralized in the sense you and @devnull described.
trwnh:
it would be nice to be able to maintain an explicit community context / boundary / etc
This boils down again to "What does it mean to be federated?" and then either take the ad-hoc, app-centric approach, connect to the flow and tap into the fediverse juice and make the best of that over time via whack-a-mole driven development. The other approach, aligning to what @trwnh mentions, is a more designed one, where well-defined use cases drive the development efforts. Contrast the approaches as:
- Connect Discourse software to the fediverse
- Community on the fediverse
With 1) it is entirely unknown what you eventually get, and as becomes clear, until now we got a messy fragmented situation. The Need of the Fedizen audience was implicitly "full decentralization" and explicitly for SocialHub to "be part of the fediverse" and not needing a separate account to be created to participate in the discussions.
But that is but one single Need. What is the full list of Needs? And what other stakeholder types are there beside Fedizen role? Now we are getting towards 2) and what it means for SocialHub to be considered a "community on the fediverse". And here too should Discourse - product slogan "The online home for your community" - and Pavilion be most interested, as this relates directly to product development.
Here too is big opportunity for the ActivityPub dev community, as it is the path to overcome the Achilles Heel that is the triad of Big ball of mud architecture, Golden (microblog) hammer, and Whack-a-mole driven protocol decay development.

Gunboats follow sanctions in US strategy on Venezuela
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/6004700
The US naval buildup off Venezuela's coast is not about drug interdiction, but imperial pressure. Caracas's response, grounded in asymmetric defense and bolstered by key Eurasian alliances, has transformed a lopsided showdown into a contest of global powers.The US has entered a new phase in its long war on Venezuela. Having exhausted economic and diplomatic tools, it has now turned to the military lever, dispatching warships to the Caribbean in a naked display of force.
This escalation caps years of imperial targeting of the Bolivarian government in Caracas – beginning with sweeping sanctions under former US President Barack Obama, tightened to unprecedented levels under President Donald Trump, and sustained through bipartisan consensus.
Officially, Washington frames this as part of a broad “counter narcotics” campaign targeting so-called terrorist organizations. But that story collapses under scrutiny. What the US really seeks is regime change and regional control, thinly veiled behind drug war rhetoric.

Judge orders US to halt deportation of hundreds of Guatemalan children
A US judge on Sunday ordered an emergency halt to a plan by the Trump administration to deport a group of nearly 700 unaccompanied Guatemalan children back to their home country after immigrant advocates lawyers called the plan “illegal”.
Attorneys for 10 Guatemalan minors, ages 10 to 17, said in court papers filed late on Saturday that there were reports that planes were set to take off within hours for the Central American country.
But a federal judge in Washington said those children couldn’t be deported for at least 14 days, and after a hastily scheduled hearing on Sunday, she enforced that they needed to be taken off the planes and back to the Office of Refugee Resettlement facilities while the legal process plays out.

Germany has moved to block a European Commission proposal that would have suspended "Israel's" access to certain EU research funds, underscoring deep divisions within the bloc over how to respond to the war on Gaza.
The Commission's plan centered on Horizon Europe, the EU's flagship research program. Brussels sought to exclude "Israel" from startup-oriented funding streams tied to drones, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, technologies that could bolster military capabilities.
The proposal was designed as leverage to pressure Tel Aviv into easing restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries.

What is lemmy.ml?
Recently there seems to be some of misunderstanding what the lemmy.ml instance is about, especially from newer users.Lemmy.ml has always been a niche site, and it will most likely stay this way. We don't have any intentions to turn it into a mainstream instance, or set a goal of getting as many users as possible. Our goal is simple: make an instance that people like to use. I would say that we have been successful in this, but obviously it is impossible to satisfy everyone.
The reason for this is that @[url=https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines]Dessalines[/url] and I are paid to develop Lemmy, while donations from lemmy.ml users only make up a negligible part of our income. Besides, having more users would force us to spend more time moderating, and less time for development. Lemmy works quite differently from big tech sites like Reddit in this regard: while they get more money with each extra user through advertising, for us it is the opposite. So we would much rather have a smaller, non-toxic, and friendly userbase, than a large one.
Part of the problem might be that lemmy.ml is described as "flagship instance", which can certainly be interpreted to mean "mainstream" or "general purpose". I struggle to come up with a better, more accurate description. If you can think of one, please comment here.
If you dont like the way lemmy.ml works, thats okay. Federation exists exactly to solve that problem, let different groups have their own instances, with their own rules and political views. You can see the list of existing instances, and instructions for setting up a new one on join-lemmy.org.
In particular, I would like to see someone (or a group of people) create a mainstream, or liberal instance. That should help to avoid further drama, and avoid attempts to turn lemmy.ml into something that it is not. @[url=https://lemmy.ml/u/dessalines]Dessalines[/url] and I would certainly be willing to help with any technical problems that such an instance runs into, and include it on join-lemmy.org (just like any other instance that meets the code of conduct).

Company behind Jack Daniel's says boycott is 'significant' as sales to Canada fall 62%
The parent company of American alcohol producers such as Jack Daniel's whisky and Woodford Reserve bourbon says sales to Canada dropped 62 per cent during the latest fiscal quarter compared to a year ago, as American alcohol remains off the shelves in many provinces.
After U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canadian goods in early March, a number of provinces retaliated, pulling American alcohol from store shelves. Alberta and Saskatchewan have since lifted the ban.
During a conference call with investors Thursday, officials with Brown-Forman — the parent company of brands such as Jack Daniel's and Woodford Reserve — noted other pressures, but said the boycott is causing a "significant impact."
