I would do the same thing: complain endlessly about the Democratic party while doing nothing to distance myself from them.

Are there no ethical standards for journalism?

Are you just getting caught up? This ship sadly sailed a while ago. More importantly, Newsweek got you to click, so from their perspective the job is done.

most sexist comment on Lemmy

You know what would solve this problem? Women should be confined to their homes, cooking and cleaning up after their husbands like good little wives. We don't need women working outside the home, or having any sort of autonomy or independence. They are only good for serving their menfolk and bearing children. And if they want to eat out, they should just go to fast-food chains and order off the dollar menu.

Mods volunteer... I don't see the problem here.

Its their job to block that content before it reaches an audience

The problem is (or isn't, depending on your perspective) that it is NOT their job. Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit are private companies that have the right to develop and enforce their own community guidelines or terms of service, which dictate what type of content can be posted on their platforms. This includes blocking or removing content they deem harmful, objectionable, or radicalizing. While these platforms are protected under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (CDA), which provides immunity from liability for user-generated content, this protection does not extend to knowingly facilitating or encouraging illegal activities.

There isn't specific U.S. legislation requiring social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit to block radicalizing content. However, many countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia, have enacted laws that hold platforms accountable if they fail to remove extremist content. In the United States, there have been proposals to amend or repeal Section 230 of CDA to make tech companies more responsible for moderating the content on their sites.

The OE defines genocide as "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group". Christians don't fall into the bucket of nation OR ethnic group.

I haven't said otherwise.

Which law are we talking about?

With regards to #1, bear in mind that those figures for Iraq are calculated over a period of fourteen years as opposed to just six months in Gaza.

Sure, but if you were to examine the causalities in Iraq, you would find a large number of them clustered towards the far beginning of the war and then a "long tail" of civilian causalities for much, much longer. "It's a genocide, but far slower" isn't of much comfort for someone who lost a loved one during the US invasion and occupation.

The equivalent in Irag would have been for US to build a wall around Baghdad and prevented any women and children from leaving while they carried out their bombing campaigns.

While there was no literal "wall around Baghdad", similar methods were used to restrict movement and curb violence.

One example is the establishment of checkpoints throughout the city. These checkpoints were used not only to monitor the flow of traffic but also to search vehicles and detain individuals suspected of terrorist activities or other crimes. This led to long waiting times and inconvenience for civilians who had to pass through them daily.

In addition, the U.S. military would often conduct cordon-and-search operations in specific areas within Baghdad and other cities. During these operations, roads leading into and out of a particular neighborhood would be closed, essentially confining residents to their homes for extended periods. These operations were aimed at capturing or eliminating insurgents believed to operate within the area, but it often resulted in civilian casualties and disrupted everyday life for those trapped inside.

Also, the steps that Israel have taken to block humanitarian aid from getting to desperate and starving people sets the behavior apart from the US in Iraq.

After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, there was an increase in the number of people needing humanitarian assistance. According to a UN report published in September 2004, the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), which governed Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, imposed restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries, resulting in delays and reductions in supplies.

The CPA implemented strict security measures, including the requirement for prior permission before entering some areas in Iraq, and inspection of goods at checkpoints. While these regulations were intended to prevent weapons and other contraband from reaching militants or terrorists, they also negatively affected the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Like Israel's stated goal of keeping security control of Palestinian areas and beginning reconstruction?

"overhead" is that $1000/week I pay Joe. I'd love to understand this plan a little more, but so far no one is explaining the economics of it to me.

I want to know why Texas is putting their children in the river in the first place.
