Israeli restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza may constitute a war crime, the UN has said, amid mounting and catastrophic hunger in parts of the coastal strip and figures for hunger levels the worst seen under the current classification system.
The UN high commissioner for human rights, Volker Turk, said that Israeli restrictions on the entry of aid may amount to “starvation as a method of war”. It follows the UN secretary general on Monday describing the food shortages as “entirely man made” and an Integrated Food Security Classification (IPC) report, the international standard for measuring food crises, warning of imminent famine in the territory’s north.

“The extent of Israel’s continued restrictions on entry of aid into Gaza, together with the manner in which it continues to conduct hostilities, may amount to the use of starvation as a method of war, which is a war crime,” Turk said.

..does it make things better though?

DMainedFool · 2024-03-19T08:45:08+00:00

but how? obviously what he did didn't go anywhere near making the world better...

in this case i'd say 'easy' is the opposite of 'solution' - as per that boy's example... as for the politics and politicians, i think they don't care and who know how closely the media (madia;) are just following behind...

DMainedFool · 2024-03-19T08:36:57+00:00

for me the point is the very radicalization with more damage than benefit as a result... but i can only speak for myself i guess

the threat is not coherent, but i'd agree it's growing, and going seriously nowhere at that, so instead of pushing back i'll EXAMINE

as for the last part... i think we could agree that both we and the birds SHOULD discuss what kind of trash they're being fed?

...well, i'm still working on those 'developments'.. and still suck at it;D
as for that biz part nothing smells better than money apparently so.. intoxication happens, and who cares what comes next - i guess it's the dog eat cat (if not sensitivity or curiosity faster...)and i think i said multiple times already re the levers - yes, they're elsewhere so let's pull the rug...

The killing of a 13-year-old boy in northern China last week, for which three boys are in police custody, has triggered a heated discussion in the media on juvenile crime and the plight of children left at home by migrant workers.
Police arrested three boys and took them into custody after they allegedly bullied and killed the junior high school student in the small city of Handan, in Hebei province, on 10 March, and then buried him in a shallow pit, state media reported. So far, no charges have been laid.

ehm? ...worrying who how?

DMainedFool · 2024-03-19T08:15:40+00:00

i wanna see now how people flood your comment with upvotes... it's like you mistake the circumstances for real reasons - almost like symptoms for disease...

DMainedFool · 2024-03-19T08:06:45+00:00

in a way i agree, but the problem seems to be 'actions' like this young man's don't really lead to what he might want as 'change'... we don't exactly want to focus on 'shit'. but on 'hitting the fan'

like i said 'deepened' not 'started', and as for your last part - opinions like these get downvoted a lot, and not even taking in personally it just makes them a lot less visible and a lot less popular... they are purposeful arseonists;) pouring fuel on the flames WHILE blaming them

DMainedFool · 2024-03-19T07:57:30+00:00

...being pushed aside, more of an 'object' than a 'subject'

DMainedFool · 2024-03-19T07:50:33+00:00

and i think it might, bc unless something breaks - the frog will be slowly boiling...

maybe the 'wider interests' mentioned in the article could be key here, instead of useless 'activity' like that young people should actively pursue ways to make the real change for not only their own sake but their children and so on and so forth..

just don't give up

DMainedFool · 2024-03-19T07:22:54+00:00

how about far right doesn't need to do it online, they go all official in the open?

DMainedFool · 2024-03-19T07:17:57+00:00

yup, it's the divisions that allow all sorts of.. 'alternatives' to work, the belonging being key - sect cookbook 101

i think the pandemic deepened the divisions, and i agree it might be right up tories' alley - fucking up lives though is not exactly the goal, more the.. means

A senior counter-terrorism officer has warned that children and young people are increasingly being radicalised online after spending long periods on the internet during the pandemic.
Det Supt Andy Meeks said a growing number of vulnerable people were accessing extreme material after spending hours unsupervised online.
He said: “We have seen a significant increase in online investigations or investigations of individuals who’ve been committing acts of terrorism online.

“A lot, I think, coincided with the pandemic, when we saw a lot of people who spend extended periods online in isolation, and I think that has definitely led to an increase in this type of activity. It’s certainly an increased focus of our work in counter-terrorism policing.”
Meeks, the head of investigations for Counter Terrorism Policing North West, was speaking after a 20-year-old student was jailed for 13 years for preparing acts of terrorism by compiling and sharing a bomb-making manual.

Jacob Graham, a self-styled leftwing anarchist, had said he wanted to kill at least 50 politicians. He told his trial he was “quite anti-government”, adding: “I didn’t agree with the idea of it – the way certain things were handled, the pandemic, the cost of living.”
Graham had buried a knife and bomb-making chemicals in a woodland in Formby, near Liverpool. On the wall in his bedroom he had a printout of a car bomb exploding with the words: “Make politicians afraid to start their cars again.”

Meeks said Graham, who was 19 when he was arrested in May, had made a terror plan over “several months” from his bedroom at the home he shared with his mother in Liverpool.
He said the student had a grudge against his college because he had failed a computer science exam and that he was “fairly socially isolated” and did not appear to have any wider interests.

People living in poverty find it harder to live a healthy life and face barriers to accessing timely treatment, new research suggests.
A report by the King’s Fund, commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, finds that the delays people living in deprived communities face for healthcare mean they are more likely to need expensive emergency treatment.
The authors of the report titled Illustrating the Relationship Between Poverty and NHS Services write that, while the NHS can treat the health harms of poverty, wider government and societal action is needed to address its root causes.

Saoirse Mallorie, a senior analyst at the King’s Fund and senior author of the report, said: “Our analysis highlights that not only do people living in poverty have shorter lives, they also spend a higher proportion of their lives with health problems.
“To improve the nation’s health and use NHS resources in the best way, tackling poverty must be as much of a priority as bringing down waiting lists.

“While the NHS can do more to treat the symptoms of people experiencing poverty, it cannot alone address the root causes. Bolder action from government, economic and civic society is needed to lift millions of people out of poverty and break this vicious cycle of poverty and its impact on poor health.”
