All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.

Genocide in Gaza
MK-84, is the US/Israeli weapon of choice for committing genocide in Gaza.
…..as Israel planned to invade Rafah in southern Gaza last May, president Joe Biden drew the line.
With more than a million Palestinian civilians sheltering in the area, he halted the shipment of about 1,800 MK-84s.
“Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centres,” Mr Biden said.
Donald Trump sends banned shipment of 1,800, MK-84s to Israel.

Donald Trump ethnic cleansing of Gaza

5 Feb 2025 — “Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for 100 years……” Donald Trump
The Nazi Holocaust did not begin with concentration camps and gas chambers, it began with ethnic cleansing. The Bosnian genocide began with ethnic cleansing.
The current ceasefire is scheduled to end on March 1.
The IDF has just dropped leaflets on Gaza threatening extermination of the population if they don’t leave the territory. Trump has delivered Israel the weapons to carry out this extermination.

Isn’t this armament thing a conspiracy of governments against all the people. Some of the loudest chest thumpers about how good countries they are, and so misunderstood and unappreciated, actually big armament makers and sellers? And have been known to send replacements to active small wars, with the same equipment on board ship but going to different recipients – each side. That’s not showing unfair preference eh. So what are we to make of that.
Center Left blogsite ‘The Standard’, in line with mainstream media editorial policy, denies that genocide is being committed in Gaza.
Genocide in Gaza.
When pressed, Liberal commentators, at ‘The Standard’ (and in the MSM) will admit to the undeniable fact, that Israel is committing war crimes and other atrocities in Gaza. But even when pressed these same Liberals, will refuse to admit that Israel is conducting a genocide against the Palestinian population of Gaza, (in case they have to do something),
Admitting to genocide means committing to stopping it.
Denying genocide is an easy out.

According to the Genocide Convention, the primary duties of a state party are to prevent acts of genocide, punish perpetrators of genocide, and enact legislation to criminalize genocide; essentially, this means taking active measures to stop genocidal acts from occurring and to hold individuals accountable if they commit them, including through legal prosecution.
Key aspects of these duties include:
Defining genocide:
The Convention clearly defines what constitutes genocide, including acts like killing members of a group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life aimed at physical destruction, and forcibly transferring children from the group.
Prevention:
States must take necessary steps to prevent genocide from happening, including addressing potential situations that could lead to genocide, promoting tolerance and non-discrimination, and protecting at-risk groups.
Investigation and prosecution:
If genocide occurs, states are obligated to investigate the crimes, apprehend perpetrators, and bring them to justice through legal proceedings.
Cooperation with international bodies:
States must cooperate with international organizations like the United Nations to prevent and punish genocide, including by reporting potential incidents and providing assistance with investigations.
Important points to remember:
“Erga omnes” nature:
The obligations under the Genocide Convention are considered “erga omnes,” meaning they apply to all states, regardless of whether they are party to the Convention.
Individual criminal responsibility:
The Convention also holds individuals accountable for committing genocide, not just state actors.

I would like to see on-line in work that aims to be clear in its human provenancel, the content from AI should be underlined; rather than in italics which are kept for use in human-conveyed communication. Just to make it clear what is machine-mind and what is organically grown!! What do you THINK?
