It will be interesting to see how the International Court of Justice weasels its way out of declaring that Israel is committing genocide, which I suspect they will do.

Basically, the Israeli military has been told to kill everyone in Gaza and flatten every structure, but -- oh, yeah -- make sure you abide by the rules of war.

Cutting off aid to the UNRWA amidst Israel's assault on and siege of Gaza is flatly complicity in genocide.

The reason given for the withdrawal of aid by the US and the UK is that some employees of UNRWA apparently participated in the October 7 attack to one degree or another.

Hey, if that's a concern: the Prime Minister of Israel has fairly openly incited genocide -- are we going to withdraw Israel's aid -- ?

Whatever else he has done or will do in his life, Joe Biden will be remembered for complicity in genocide before all else.

Did you consult that with Taleb? He's got a similar observation



BTW. Taleb's posts are interesting and this forum is extremely boring and predictable, I practically stopped reading it. Why so?

No, I didn't consult with Taleb.

Maybe you like your reading material to come with a bow on it?

All roses are flowers.
Some flowers fade quickly.
Therefore some roses fade quickly.
Is this syllogism logically valid? (Kahneman (2011)).

Just like I said; Israeli "logic"
