  • For this reason, he said, “we stand firmly against a political instrumentalization” of the Convention.

    Which is exactly whats happening. And in the process its demeaning and devaluing the convention. Much like happens constantly in Lemmy WorldNews.

    Israel’s six legal representatives asserted that the ICJ has no jurisdiction over the complaints brought by South Africa since they relate to the laws of armed conflict, not genocide; argued that “random” inflammatory comments of Israeli politicians did not reflect policy determined in the state bodies making war policy; and insisted that the widespread harm to Palestinian civilians during the war was a result of Hamas’s massive use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes, and not genocidal acts

    It’s nice when sanity and reality rear their heads. That’s going to rial up the Hamas members and supporters here ON Lemmy.


  • Companies need to learn that it’s a vocal minority that cares. Lots of us love AI art, hell I prefer it at times to traditional. Companies will definitely learn because they only care about $$$. The art is way cheaper to produce, and a lot of people don’t care.

    Yes, I do care that there will be no jobs in the future, but the issue isn’t artists jobs—it’s ALL jobs. And that means capitalism has to go and UBI come back. Productivity produces leisure time, and the only reason it hasn’t is b/c of billionaires and near-billionaires thanks to capitalism. Anti-ai art people often just don’t get that the issue is specifically capitalism. Time to get rid of copyright, make all AI productivity 100% taxed, and all AI models owned by the public.












  • Agree with you 100%.

    It’s been a terrible wakeup call as I’m left on most things and have no place in almost any left group at the moment with their rabid mindless hate frenzy. I’m anti-capitalist, atheist, pro bodily autonomy, an ally of lgbtq+…

    But in general, all the bulk of these people can do is read whatever Hamas has Al Jazeera publish and knee-jerk, or learn one fact about 100+ years of conflict and think they know the score. Literally 99% of their historical claims are disprovable quickly and easily–super low effort. When it comes to history, they’re Dunning-Kruger masters.

    I think it’s also that the bulk of the nutters are kids 18-24 and this is the first time they’ve really paid attention to war and how fucking awful it is in every way. These horrors are going on everywhere, and they’re just too dumb or ignorant and are way past their ability to comprehend.

    There are a lot of wars and war crimes and more going on. But when I look at their post and comment history, this the only thing they cry about, not Haiti, not DRC, not Ukraine, etc. This one is just really shiney for them because Jews, because it’s DEFINITELY not based on principals.

    Honestly, they look like Hamas MAGA to me these days. Just mindless hate machines.



  • TLDR:

    Condemns genocide, opening statement then disregards the attack (an act of genocide itself) by a group literally founded to commit genocide that caused the current conflict.

    Long answer:

    Sure, happy to: opening their genocide case by highlighting a genocidal attack by their allies (Hamas in this case), and then dismissing it. And only focusing on your allies’ enemy for your argument that is alledgedly based on principal ; it both undermines the credibility of the failed state of SA and their argument.

    This is a country that refused to arrest a criminal wanted for genocide.

    Excusing your allies is contrary to arguing principal (in that a principal based argument isn’t selective on whether you like Hamas and hate Israel). It’s all sorts of super cringe and transparent what they’re doing.

    Hamas, their buddy, and worldnews’ darling were literally founded on committing genocide. Their goal is to destroy Israel. Their foundation is a statement of genocidal intent. Their words.

    In the end, it’s all academic. The court can’t do shit to Israel anymore than the failed state of SA can. ICJ and the ICC are as impotent as all the alt-left kids crying. In reality, this is most likely just propaganda and distraction from SA helping a criminal escape genocide charges.

    Omar al-Bashir had warrants out for genocide, and SA refused to arrest him even though as signatories it was mandatory (back in 2015). They were fine with his crimes of genocide, but then again, he wasn’t Israeli. LOL, they do NOT care about the principal.

    To be fair, pretty much everything about the whole thing is cringe. It’s just bait for the stupids and the gullibles.

    Though it makes for a good laugh when you look at who the alt-left jumps into bed with.
