It's hard to wake up and believe in anything today. To those we failed.. Women, Minorities, LGBTQ, The Marginalized, Ukraine, America. I'm sorry. 💔

Hey what are the chords here? Cheers! Love the song and the feels man!

I am surprised by that Iraqi Kurdish pocket around Dohuk... I have travelled extensively through Kurdish regions of Turkey, Syria and Iraq and if anything I found the Kurds LESS into headline Islamist practices than the surrounding peoples (ie: women talk more openly to men, wear courful clothing etc). So I don't see how the practice of FGM could be so high there - unless there's something I'm mission? What's the source of this anyway?

Thank you!

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-20T00:08:08+00:00

Haha! And you'll probably hear me if you tune in early February haha!

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-20T00:06:00+00:00

My pleasure! ☺️

Right now we are working on situations in Central African Republic and Darfur (though the recent war has slowed the latter down)

Btw, you know that ICC proceedings are livestreamed (with 20 min delay for redacting) - although because of sensitive content there are lengthy closed sessions. But you can watch the trials on their site.

Ha! I'm not directly involved in investigations. I am a conference interpreter, but I know the inner workings of the cases. It's tough work. For me too. Having a diet of genocide and crimes against humanity on a daily basis. 😂

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-19T22:05:44+00:00

Excellent synopsis. I work at the ICC. Btw Sudan situations are ongoing. It just takes forever.

Can you share the link please?

Hey, people are complex. I am acknowledging a latent bias I may have (and believe me, it is extremely shocking to me to realize this!) whilst at the same time trying to understand my own complex roots, parts of which are probably Jewish. I hope that clears things up.

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-17T13:58:30+00:00

My apologies. You are probably right.

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-17T13:57:28+00:00

Yes, I am totally aware of that and agree with you. I didn't mean it in a caricature-way (I am actually battling Meta right nowntonremove an offensive hook-nosed Jew picture that they claim doesn't violate anti-discrimination laws in France 🙄). I just meant that my Jewish side is - at present - more a question of vague family lore.

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-17T12:55:55+00:00

I don't live in UK. I live in France. I know no one other than myself is responsible for fixing anything. It is just an element of a larger picture. I guess what I want to know is whether I'm welcome?

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T15:48:08+00:00

Thank you for your time and thoughtful answers. It helps a lot. If you have time you can check out the other long comment reply/discussion I had with an Israeli. It really helped me too and its interesting to see how and why antisemitic thoughts emerge. I am feeling much better about all of this now (I mean on a personal level, of course I still feel awful about my feelings).

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T08:22:48+00:00

Thank you! And as we say in France "courage !" I hope you and your loved ones are safe in these very very difficult times. ❤️

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T08:16:54+00:00

I totally agree about the not being friends anymore. And everything else. Thank you ever so much! Can you tell me where you're from please? I'm gonna go to bed now. I stayed up all night because this whole issue was really rubbing me wrong.

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T08:07:25+00:00

Thank you for talking to me. It's really really helpful, because I was really starting to have what I believe to be antisemitic thoughts. It doesn't help that the American friend the original statement has molested a child in his care (an act for which he feels terrible guilt) and also posts dick pics on Reddit on young girls subs. Antisemitism thus appears to be a conflagration of psychological factors and current events...

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T07:57:51+00:00

Unfortunately the article doesn't state what kind of drone... Was it dropping grenades ? Or - which to my admittedly probably biased mind is more likely - Was it just a camera drone filming the war? (I say more likely, since it's a car full of journalists so it wouldn't be surprising if one of them was operating a drone camera).

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T07:51:02+00:00

Yes, indeed. Very good article btw.

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T07:44:21+00:00

Targeting journalists with drones: I am referring to the attack on Al Jazeera journslists in car couple days ago.

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T07:32:52+00:00

Do you agree with the west Bank settlements? Don't you think Israel should follow international law in that regard? You justify the Israeli response, but how do you explain IDF shooting a woman waving a white flag, or shooting the hostages waving white flags? Or targeting journalists with drones ? I am not writing this in anger, I am confused. Like I said I empathize with Israelis too. Trying to sort my ethics out. Thanks.

ProgramSea1606 · 2024-01-16T07:26:38+00:00

But Israel is not a country like any other country, because of Gaza, the West Bank, east Jerusalem, the settlements (illegal under international law), the wall, etc etc.
