Continuing on what constitutes genocidal intent:
Israel reportedly held secret talks to forcibly expel Palestinians in Gaza to countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Saudi Arabia.
"Forcible transfer of Gazan population is an act of genocide expecially given the high number of children. Congolese or other states' officials willb e guilty of aiding and abetting genocide if they agree to any transfer of population."
– Balakrishnan Rajagopal, UN Special Rapporteur
To put it simply: "Voluntary resettlement" is forced displacement, is ethnic cleansing, is genocide, and the stench is just as rancid whatever the name you give it.

Lets add this BBC article, even if people are not FORCED out, making your life such that you decide it is better should also be see as no different to forcing people to move.
Where the HELL is the International criminal court to hold people to account and put an end to this.
I hope your friends and family remain safe at this time, I fear that what is coming will cost the lives of more innocent people than the lives of the people Israel seeks to target.
I just learned the exact location of the attack in Beirut. It’s not even one block away from where some of my family lives and where I lived when I was living in Lebanon/stay when I visit. It went off in the exact same building where I used to get my hair done.
My family who lives there- along with most people living in that neighborhood (Al dahiyeh)- all moved there after being forcibly displaced from south Lebanon by Israel. Israel has been surveilling this neighborhood in particular for years because of the population of resistance fighters that live there. Everyone is relatively fine, a bit scared, but ok. When I talk to them they just say “3adi, we’re used to it.” “3adi” means “normal” or “ordinary”
There is nothing normal or ordinary about this. But the sad and scary part is when they say that, I know they mean it.
Islamic State claims responsibility for deadly Iran attack, Tehran vows revenge
That will mess the wests narrative up, if we still try and accuse Iran of being state sponsors and backers of terror groups such as IS.
@ZebKing @DemocracyMattersALot
I am from the UK and agree with this. Fedi is also the only place I am getting any news about what is going on too, nothing making headlines here in the UK. Unless people know about this, they can't stand up and vote to keep the GOP out of the white house. So the media is letting us down, oddly they will be the first to have restrictions imposed on them should the GOP win or I am at least making that assumption as they won't want people to know what is coming post election.
@DemocracyMattersALot I'm really hoping things don't get even worse in the USA. I'm not able to vote in your country, and the consequences of your elections are massive to everyone else in the world, including Canada.
We're on tenderhooks as they say. Please do your part to keep the world from sliding further into rapid decline, flagrant fascism, and copycat politics by the worst right-wing elements waiting to be emboldened here and elsewhere (France, Brazil, Isreal, etc). ✌️🌎
The best way to avoid accusations of Plagiarism is surely to ensure a proper list of references of any information or source of information is fully and properly cited. Article title, journal / website, author, dates, references e.g ISBN number in the case of books. And YES it takes time and effort.
I made a blog! My own little contribution to the indie web.
The Ultrawealthy Have Made $8.5 Trillion -- And None Of It's Been Taxed: Report

Surely, being associated with a person is NOT a problem, The issue is that some people kept associating with him post him being convicted as a paedophile or when suspicions became more than that.
Seems like as with Jimmy Saville, or Russell Brand, there is the usual gossip, but no one actually takes that and looks further in to some of the things that were alleged to have happened.
But have sites not been scraping data for years, I did read something about adding or removing a file from robots.txt to stop this. As per usual people on mailing lists usually talk about these things, assume others understand what it all does and hence never actually explain how to actually mitigate against this.
Surely there could be a way for us to add in hashtags or put in our profiles consent to this, as in explict consent for other sites to scan our posts and grab the data (or what ever the correct terminology is).
Make it clear to the AI bots / big tech that there is NO consent unless we opt to give consent, but add in it is on them to PROVE we have given that consent.
I agree
@luckytran i‘m sorry if I simplify this too mucn but the pattern I see is people utterly underqualified getting into positions of power. In my opinion, having significant merit in a topic (diplomas, work experience, published papers, etc) should become a hard criterion to get access to a position like this. I know people with less obvious expertise have made good decisions but less obvious does not mean none.
Billionaires
Face it. Everyone warned if we allow extreme inequality - billionaires - they would purchase democracy and turn everyone into serfs.
And here we are.
What is a Windows PC,? I bought a new computer, it came with windows 11. I didn't want or ask for it. So I dual booted to LinuxMint 21.2 and not looked back. Microsoft seem to be the usual arrogant big tech company who just assume we want their software.
Removing choice may breach anti competition laws?
I made an improvement for my writing workflow using Kate text editor. I can work through docs repos in Pagure, GitLab and GitHub without changing context.
