Ein häufiges von der britischen, wie auch der deutschen Regierung vorgebrachtes Argument bzgl des Vorgehens der israelischen Armee in #Gaza ist dass der internationale Gerichtshof ja noch nicht geurteilt habe dass #Israel #Genozid begehe, und dass man deswegen noch nicht davon sprechen könnte, dass Israel Genozid begehe und es deswegen keine Konsequenzen für die britische & deutsche Politik hätte.

Si costruisca la “Piccola Pace” per giungere a concepire la “Grande Pace”. Questo potrebbe essere il riassunto di quanto uscito dai confronti con Giovani Costruttrici e Costruttori di Pace, di cui sono orgogliosamente parte, in questa quattro giorni svoltasi ad Assisi con il fine di organizzare la Marcia per la Pace Perugia-Assisi del 12 ottobre di quest’anno, ma anche per organizzare i pensieri e le azioni di tutte e tutti noi come attivisti e attiviste per la Pace a cui ho partecipato come Consigliere comunale di Castelnovo Monti con delega alla Cultura, ai Diritti e alla Pace e come esponente di Possibile.
La mattina del 30 agosto sono intervenuto alla presenza di altri amministratori e amministratrici locali ricordando che il punto fondamentale per costruire la “Grande Pace”, quella tra stati, è necessario costruire anche la “Piccola Pace”, quella interna alle nostre comunità, siano esse un’aula scolastica o un Comune da amministrare.
Mi sono soffermato anche su una visione diversa delle città in cui viviamo, che spesso si rivelano essere il primo limite fisico al dialogo, per una mancanza di luoghi in cui poter avere uno scambio partecipativo e per come esse vengono ideate, con una sottesa discriminazione e ghettizzazione delle minoranze che crea aree di disagio e abbandono che portano alla creazione della violenza, la quale viene soppressa con ulteriore violenza.
Per creare la pace bisogna creare le condizioni fondamentali perché sia presente prima di tutto nelle nostre comunità e quindi adoperarsi per la giustizia sociale, perché tutti e tutte abbiano le stesse opportunità e gli stessi diritti civili, sociali e politici.
Infine, è fondamentale insistere sul rispetto del diritto internazionale, perché le Organizzazioni Internazionali oramai troppo spesso si trovano a spendere parole che si perdono nel vento contro le violenze nei conflitti. Una riforma profondamente democratica dell’ONU potrebbe dare più forza alla pace e alla giustizia.
Partecipiamo tutte e tutti il 12 ottobre alla Marcia per la Pace, perché il messaggio dev’essere chiaro al mondo intero: la Pace è un diritto di tutti e tutte, la guerra una scelta di pochi.

I worry that the recent drones over Denmark show that the supposed deterrent of NATO is purely theoretical.
By which I mean that I suspect most NATO leaders and military folk have decided that because no one would be fool enough to attack NATO, there's no need to actually prepare and train for an attack. Hence the deterrent is only theoretical. NATO has tons of weapons but apparently no one knows how use them or what to do if an attack does happen.

I figured things went downhill right from 3.0 -- that's when I stopped doing any work with anything related to Microsoft systems.
OS/2 (at least from 2.x onwards) would have been interesting, but even it didn't have a clean and elegant kernel API like Unix did, and its internals were a mess (witness how it was effectively impossible to port it to the PowerPC or any other CPU). Even so it would have been far better than anything that ever came from Microsoft. However Microsoft basically tricked developers into sticking with Windows by giving them a far cheaper compiler and SDK with far better licensing terms than IBM was willing to offer at the time. I.e. IBM were were also too greedy, but they didn't understand the market at all.
In terms of this article I wouldn't trust either Microsoft or IBM with my data, especially not outside of the USA, but even within the USA, and even in an alternate history where the USA never went down this path to fascism. Both companies have always put themselves before their customers and have always been too greedy.

Union membership in the U.S. peaked in the 1940s at 35% and has been steadily declining each year. In 2024, it had dropped to only 9.9%.
At the same time, the wealth gap skyrocketed, with CEO-to-Worker compensation rising from roughly 20:1 in 1965 to nearly 399:1 in 2021.
Coincidence?

""So, you're saying a third of the stock market is tied up in seven AI companies that have no way to become profitable and that this is a bubble that's going to burst and take the whole economy with it?"
I said, "Yes, that's right...
The WSJ writers compare the AI bubble to other bubbles...and conclude that the AI bubble is vastly larger than any other bubble in recent history.""

"Tutte le richieste devono essere approvate dalle autorità di Cipro e da quelle israeliane."
"il carico può essere trasportato a Cipro, dove viene esaminato, e poi diretto verso Ashdod, in Israele. Lì deve essere nuovamente approvato, poi l’organizzazione incaricata di ricevere il carico può decidere se portarlo lei stessa dentro la Striscia o affidarlo a un servizio di logistica coinvolto in questo processo. Tutto comunque passa in ultima analisi dalle autorità militari israeliane."
"Più in generale, tuttavia, dall’inizio dell’invasione Israele lascia passare soltanto una piccola quantità degli aiuti umanitari necessari per soddisfare le necessità delle persone nella Striscia di Gaza, che infatti da mesi stanno affrontando una carestia e condizioni di vita enormemente difficili."
se ho capito bene sarebbe come consegnare gli aiuti a israle, la nazione che volontariamente sta causando un genocidio e che vuole uccidere tutti i palestinesi, visto che secondo loro sono tutti terroristi evidentemente. anche i bambini.
non sembra una proposta sensata.
il "compromesso" consiste nel rinunciare alias affidarsi al buon cuore di israele, che come sappiamo non ha alcun buon cuore. visto che preferisce lo sterminio ad uno stato palestinese con cui trattare su basi paritarie.

I’ve done two more hours, that’s quite enough for a Saturday. Of course the last version of the document I opened had the largest amount of comments, and each comment was far longer than anyone else’s suggestion. She makes some excellent points, however there is no way I can incorporate them all into a single paper.

in reply to stephie • • •Der fundamentale Fehler den die britische & deutsche Regierung da machen ist eine komplette Fehlinterpretation der Genozidkonvention.
Das Urteil des ICJ darüber ob ein Genozid vorliegt, hat viel höhere juristische Vorraussetzungen, während die Verpflichtung der Staaten Maßnahmen zu treffen um einen Genozid zu verhindern, bereits dann getriggert wird wenn Hinweise auf genozidales Handeln vorliegen.

in reply to stephie • • •Die Argumentation der britischen und deutschen Regierungen läuft darauf hinaus, dass die Pflicht zur Prävention eines Genozid erst dann eintritt, wenn alle Alternativerklärungen für genozidales Handeln komplett verneint wurden sind, und dass ihn einem Prozess vor dem ICJ geurteilt wurde.
Sie wollen einen Genozid erst dann verhindern müssen, wenn die Gräber der Opfer bereits kalt sind und Gras über die Sache gewachsen ist.
