#genocidesbodyguards — Public Fediverse posts

So even for @NPR -- long the iconic newsroom of the American left -- Starmer's problems leading to these devastating losses were due to the UK's "surging antisemitism" (fair enough, I suppose, with the biggest BENEFICIARY of those losses being Britain's nazis!), with no mention AT ALL of his government's enthusiastic service as #GenocidesBodyguards for #IsraelAtWarCrimes, or its authoritarian crackdown ON HIS OWN CONSTITUENTS when they tried to protest it (echoes of #GenocideJoe's unforced errors on THIS side of the pond).

And speaking of which--learning no lessons whatsoever from the rise of AMERICA'S nazi party from its shallow grave--they're doggedly pretending Reform UK is merely politics as usual, and not THE SAME FASCIST ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY WE JUST FELL TO, just wrapped in a Union Jack, by describing it as simply "right wing populist" rather than the ghost of Britain's white nationalist colonial past.

Disappointing. Is anybody in politics OR journalism even going to recognize that WE'RE AT WAR, before Washington AND London are draped in victorious swastikas? Pretty sure THE PEOPLE get it, given Green's solid performance (reported here almost as a footnote).... 😖

FIGHT, damn it -- because #NeverAgainIsNow.

Silver lining: this will provide a powerful structural incentive for war criminals to self-identify into a government database so we can prosecute them for #CrimesAgainstHumanity down the road.

If this passes, organizations fighting for #JusticeForPalestine need to remember this exists, so it can be FOIA'd or subpoenaed after the political winds in the U.S. shift toward accountability for #IsraelAtWarCrimes and #GenocidesBodyguards.

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@susurros/116477625689935422

We have a formal, collective obligation under international law to intervene to prevent the crime of #genocide

When our societies consistently & repeatedly FAIL TO MEET that formal obligation (instead, in fact, serving enthusiastically as #GenocidesBodyguards), I would have to acknowledge some legitimacy to an argument that individuals who recognize that failure inherit an obligation to act to do so themselves.

When that action escalates to violence against persons who are noncombatants (a.k.a., terrorism) it is rightly viewed to have crossed a line to which extra criminal penalties should attach--although the individuals may be happy TO ACCEPT those penalties owing to the moral weight attached to their obligation.

But in cases like this, where that action escalates solely to violence AGAINST PROPERTY, our American tradition of protest has typically balanced the need for the law to recognize that a crime has occurred WITH some weight given, in mitigation, to a credible argument that the violence was committed to strike a blow against injustice, when mere speech has long gone unheard by the oppressor (e.g., rioting during the Civil Rights movement, as recognized by #MLK in his speech, "The Other America").

I would suggest that this is the standard that justice demands be applied here--and emphatically NOT the one that INCREASES penalties in crimes against persons.
