| Foreign Affairs › Brutality And Inhumanity Of Israel’s Assault On Gaza Is No Surprise. by Godszilla(op): 7:10pm On Jan 13, 2024 |
As the international court considers claims of genocide, the question of intent seems moot. Just read the words of Netanyahu and his allies. It always starts with words. Genocide is largely remembered for its depraved acts, but it is incubated in language. Words can cast dark spells on a population, stirring hatred in those who otherwise see themselves as moderate, humane, normal. This is why the genocide convention of 1948 criminalises “direct and public incitement to commit genocide”. Like Britain, Israel was a signatory nation and, two years later, it translated the convention into domestic law. There were four acts, it decreed, that leave the offender “treated like a person guilty of genocide”: one is “incitement to commit genocide”. As the British lawyer Daniel Machover tells me, Israel has a legal obligation to prosecute those who incite genocide. But instead, since the grave war crimes committed against Israeli civilians by Hamas and other armed groups on 7 October, government ministers, parliamentarians, army officers and journalists have indulged in the language of extermination. This chilling phenomenon has few historical precedents, because usually instigators of genocide go to great lengths to cover up their crimes. As Raz Segal – an Israeli-American associate professor of genocide and Holocaust studies – tells me, Israel’s onslaught on Gaza is unique “in the sense of discussing it as what I think it is – that is, genocide – because the intent is so clearly articulated. And it’s articulated throughout Israeli media and society and politics.” In South Africa’s document setting out its genocide case against Israel over the Gaza war, there are nine pages dedicated to genocidal incitement. It notes that Benjamin Netanyahu twice “invoked the Biblical story of the total destruction of Amalek”, declaring: “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.” A later passage in the Bible leaves no doubt for interpretation: “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.” This was no throwaway comment. Consider the unprecedented slaughter of Palestinian children – or “infants and sucklings” – and note that six days after invoking Amalek in a national address, Netanyahu referred to it again in a letter to army soldiers and officers Then there’s Isaac Herzog, the Israeli president, who declared: “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true.” No demarcation between militants and civilians exists here. Yoav Gallant, the minister of defence, was a repeat offender. On 9 October, in an unashamed commitment to collective punishment, he declared Israel was imposing a “complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” he said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.” On witnessing Israeli soldiers gleefully destroying civilian infrastructure on TikTok, some have speculated there has been a breakdown in army discipline. More likely is that soldiers listened when Gallant informed troops he had “released all the restraints” and “lifted all restrictions” on Israeli forces. Another senior official, Israel Katz, now minister of foreign affairs, declared last year when he was energy minister: “All the civilian population in Gaza is ordered to leave immediately. We will win. They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.” Meanwhile the heritage minister, Amihai Eliyahu, opposed humanitarian aid on the grounds that we “wouldn’t hand the Nazis humanitarian aid”. He also suggested nuking Gaza, declaring “there is no such thing as uninvolved civilians”. That saw him suspended by Netanyahu. Some army officers are willing participants. In a video addressed to Gaza’s residents, one major general, Ghassan Alian, castigated “citizens of Gaza” for celebrating Hamas’s extremism, promising: “Human animals are dealt with accordingly. Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza, no electricity, no water, just damage. You wanted hell, you will get hell.” [/b]Another retired major general and adviser to the defence minister, Giora Eiland, demanded other countries be prevented from offering assistance, demanding that Gaza’s people be left with “two choices: to stay and to starve, or to leave”. [b]He advocated Gaza being made “a place that is temporarily or permanently impossible to live in”, declared women were not innocent because “they are all the mothers, sisters or wives of Hamas murderers”, and advocated “humanitarian disaster” and “severe epidemics” to achieve war aims: the finance minister Bezalel Smotrich tweeted he agreed “with every word”. South Africa’s document is incomplete: there have been countless new examples since it was published. After the Israeli attorney general reportedly issued a warning to colleagues to “watch their words”, clearly concerned that Israel was being incriminated on the eve of the international court of justice investigation, the Knesset deputy speaker, Nissim Vaturi, doubled down on a previous assertion that “Gaza must be burned”. Netanyahu is said to have warned his ministers to “be sensitive”, yet each day brings more examples of genocidal intent and incitement. This should define media coverage, and yet still the fantasy that this is a war against Hamas – with a side debate about proportionality – is indulged. Without western support, Israel’s mass slaughter would immediately end. This is why we must address complicity: lives depend on it. That is not simply to critique those who still cheer on this abomination, who if we lived in a society that valued human life, would, by now, be considered morally depraved beyond redemption. As Jean-Paul Sartre once declared: “Every word has consequences. Every silence, too.” Here is one of the great crimes of our age, unfolding before our eyes, described to me by the Palestinian activist Omar Barghouti as “the world’s first livestreamed genocide”. Rarely has a crime so grave been so honestly spelled out to the world by its architects. Yet many of those who rightly and passionately condemned the atrocities of Hamas have little or nothing to say about Israel’s actions, despite the direct involvement of our own rulers. This is obscene – and occasional handwringing will not scrub away the shame. Tacit acquiescence allows the horror to continue. Words can be dangerous, but so too can their absence. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/13/israel-hamas-gaza-war-crimes 1 Like |

Guys please donot let people confused what a natural farming practice is with GMO. A hybrid plant is the result of cross-pollinating two different plant varieties and then collecting and growing the seeds that the plants produce. A hybrid plant is the offspring of a cross between two different species or varieties. Hybrids have greater genetic variability than their parents. Hybrid plants tend to be more vigorous than their parents, and often have faster growth, increased yield, and greater size Genetically modified organism (GMO), organism whose genome has been engineered in the laboratory in order to favour the expression of desired physiological traits or the generation of biological products. In genetic modification, however, recombinant genetic technologies are employed to produce organisms whose genomes have been precisely altered at the molecular level, usually by the inclusion of genes from unrelated species of organisms that code for traits that would not be obtained easily through conventional selective breeding.

| Pets › Mouse Filmed Tidying Up Man's Shed Every Night by Godszilla(op): 9:51pm On Jan 07, 2024 |
Despite being an avid wildlife photographer, retired postman Rodney Holbrook never expected to capture a Ratatouille-style scene unfolding in his own shed. After regularly discovering that things from the night before had been mysteriously tidied, he set up a night vision camera on his workbench. It captured a mouse picking up clothes pegs, corks, nuts and bolts. He has since nicknamed the well-kept rodent Welsh Tidy Mouse. The 75-year-old from Builth Wells, Powys, said the tidying ritual had been going on for two months. "At first I noticed that some food that I was putting out for the birds was ending up in some old shoes I was storing in the shed," he said. "Ninety nine times out of 100 the mouse will tidy up throughout the night. "It is incredible really that they put them all back in the box, I think it's possible that they enjoy it." Mr Holbrook believes the mouse is using the objects to hide away nuts, and so far the arrangement has been working in his favour. "I don't bother to tidy up now, I leave things out of the box and they put it back in its place by the morning," he said. "I think he would tidy my wife away if I left her in there." No object seems to trouble the mouse either, as it has even been caught carrying cable ties to the pot. "It's been a bit of an experiment really, I've added different things to the desk to see if they can lift it," said Mr Holbrook. It is not the first time he has come across an organised rodent. When living in Bristol in 2019, his friend reached out for help fixing up a night camera when another mouse was keeping their shed in order. "That one video went viral and reached people around the world," he said, "So I can't believe here in Builth Wells we have had the same thing happen years later." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-67902966 |

| Foreign Affairs › NY Mayor Eric Adams: Illegal Immigration Spurring ‘erosion Of Quality Of Life’ by Godszilla(op): 9:49am On Dec 29, 2023 |
Mayor Eric Adams (D) says the arrival of more than 160,000 border crossers and undocumented immigrants is adding to a “deterioration in the quality of life” for New Yorkers. Speaking at a press conference with Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago, Illinois, and Mike Johnston of Denver, Colorado, Adams reiterated his warning that illegal immigration is causing chaos in New York City. President Joe Biden's administration is releasing about 5,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior each day, many of whom end up in New York City, where they work and are subject to the city's sanctuary policy. , and can enjoy free paid housing. It comes from local taxpayers. Adams said the city is currently at a “breaking point” for illegal immigration. “We are seeing a decline in the quality of life that has improved in the short term of this administration,” Adams said. Said: We are affected… Although for many months we have been able to prevent the visualization of this crisis from appearing in our cities, We have reached a breaking point. We can't do that anymore because the numbers are huge. 3,900 people arrived here last week alone. On average, we get anywhere from 2,500 to nearly 4,000 a week. Do the math and you'll see that could be 8,000 every two weeks, or 16,000 a month. That we must feed, clothe, house, and educate our children. And all the services that a normal adult would provide. And we're seeing that play out on the streets of New York, and that's kind of the breaking point, and that's what we're experiencing right now. Adams issued This week, an executive order was issued requiring bus companies to provide information about border crossers and illegal aliens they transport to New York City 32 hours before arrival. The order also placed limits on when bus companies could transport border crossers and illegal aliens to New York City. Companies that do not comply with this order risk having their buses seized. ........ https://totalnews.com/illegal-immigration-spurring-erosion-of-quality-of-life-in-nyc/ |

“We were destined for the tough and rough patch, where we are today because of the prevailing conditions before Tinubu took over on May 29,” said Mr Onanuga. Nigerians were destined for hardship long before President Bola Tinubu assumed power on May 29, 2023, says the presidency, noting that Mr Tinubu is already taking measures to address the challenges brought about by the bold reforms introduced by his government in all sectors of the economy. “The truth is that the new policies alone are not solely responsible for the economic problems we are facing today,” said the president’s special adviser on information and strategy. “We were destined for the tough and rough patch, where we are today because of the prevailing conditions before Tinubu took over on May 29.” https://gazettengr.com/nigerians-destined-for-hardships-tinubu-policies-not-sole-cause-of-economic-problems-presidency/#:~:text=Nigerians%20were%20destined%20for%20hardship%20long%20before%20President,his%20government%20in%20all%20sectors%20of%20the%20economy. |

| Politics › Global Fossil Fuel Subsidies On The Rise Despite Calls For Phase-out by Godszilla(op): 2:44pm On Dec 03, 2023 |
Nov 23 (Reuters) - World governments agreed at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow two years ago to phase out "inefficient" fossil fuel subsidies to help fight global warming. Since then, however, global fossil fuel subsidies have risen $2 trillion to $7 trillion, according to the International Monetary Fund, as governments around the world moved to protect consumers from rising energy prices. At this year's climate gathering in Dubai, EU countries will be looking to harden the COP26 deal to phase out the subsidies by pushing for a deadline of 2030 to get it done, but it is unclear how much support the proposal will gain. EU governments were among those that have increased support for fossil fuels since Glasgow, mainly as a response to energy security concerns following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Here are some examples of how fossil fuels are subsidised around the world. CHINA China's total fossil fuel subsidies were the highest in the world at $2.2 trillion in 2022, amounting to 12.5% of the country's total GDP, according to the IMF. UNITED STATES U.S. fossil fuel subsidies stretch across the U.S. tax code, which makes detailing their costs complex. The IMF estimates they stood at $760 billion in 2022, a figure topped only by China. RUSSIA The world's top seaborne exporter of diesel and third largest producer of oil spent $420 billion on fossil fuel subsidies last year, according to the IMF. INDIA Fossil fuel subsidies in India totaled $350 billion last year, according to the IMF. Coal dominates India's electricity production and the country is one of the world's top producers. EU European governments more than doubled fossil fuel subsidies to $310 billion in 2022 in response to the energy crisis, IMF data showed. MIDDLE EAST Oil and gas producers in the Middle East including Qatar and Saudi Arabia had some of the highest fossil fuel subsidies per person, IMF data showed CANADA Earlier this year Canada unveiled plans for eliminating inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/global-fossil-fuel-subsidies-rise-despite-calls-phase-out-2023-11-23/ |

Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product grew by 2.54 per cent year-on-year in real terms in the third quarter of 2023, the National Bureau of Statistics has disclosed. This growth rate is higher than the 2.25 per cent recorded in Q2, 2022, and higher than the second quarter 2023 growth of 2.51 per cent. The service industry was responsible for the growth in the quarter. In its ‘Nigerian Gross Domestic Product Report (Q3, 2023),’ released on Thursday, the NBS said, “The performance of the GDP in the third quarter of 2023 was driven mainly by the Services sector, which recorded a growth of 3.99 per cent and contributed 52.70 per cent to the aggregate GDP. The agriculture sector grew by 1.30 per cent, from the growth of 1.34 per cent recorded in the third quarter of 2022. The growth of the industry sector was 0.46 per cent, an improvement from -8.00 per cent recorded in the third quarter of 2022. In terms of share of the GDP, agriculture, and the industry sectors contributed less to the aggregate GDP in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022.” In the quarter under review, aggregate GDP stood at N60.66tn in nominal terms, a performance higher than Q3, 2022 which recorded aggregate GDP of N52.26tn, indicating a year-on-year nominal growth of 16.08 per cent. https://punchng.com/nigerias-gdp-grew-by-2-54-in-q3-says-nbs/ |
| Christianity Etc › Pope Francis Dismisses Conservative Texas Bishop And Critic Joseph Strickland by Godszilla(op): 6:51am On Nov 12, 2023 |
Pope Francis has dismissed a bishop in Texas, Joseph Strickland, one of his fiercest critics among US Roman Catholic conservatives, the Vatican has said. It is very rare for a bishop to be relieved of his duties outright. Usually bishops in trouble with the Vatican are asked to resign before submitting a resignation, which the pope accepts. A pope only makes such a move when a bishop refuses a request to resign and is considered drastic. Strickland is 65, 10 years shy of the usual retirement age for bishops. Strickland had said earlier this year that he would refuse to resign if asked. Strickland, a prolific user of social media who was named to the diocese by the late pope, Benedict XVI in 2012, tweeted earlier this year that he rejected Francis’ “program undermining the Deposit of Faith”. He has been particularly critical of the pontiff’s attempt to make the Catholic church more welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community and attempts by Francis to give lay people more responsibility in the church and opposed a recent synod. Saturday’s dismissal followed a Vatican investigation earlier this year into the administration of the Tyler diocese, which Catholic media reports said included a review of his handling of financial affairs. It was announced simultaneously by the Vatican and the US Bishops Conference. Neither statement gave a reason. There was no immediate response from Strickland. A recording on the diocese’s telephone said they were closed for the weekend. Strickland had become one of the most vocal standard bearers of the ultra-conservative wing of the US Catholic church and has a national following far beyond the small diocese of Tyler in eastern Texas. Last August, Francis lamented what he called a “reactionary” Catholic church in the United States, where he said political ideology had replaced faith in some cases. Strickland is a strong supporter of former US president Donald Trump and is seen as a hero by conservative US Catholic media outlets that are aligned with Trump. Last year, when the Vatican defrocked ultra-conservative US anti-abortion priest Frank Pavone for “blasphemous” social media posts and disobedience to bishops, Strickland was one of the few American bishops to defend him publicly. “The blasphemy is that this holy priest is cancelled while an evil president promotes the denial of truth and the murder of the unborn at every turn, Vatican officials promote immorality and denial of the deposit of faith and priests promote gender confusion devastating lives … evil,” Strickland wrote on the platform then known as Twitter. The Vatican said Francis named the bishop of Austin, Texas, Joe Vasquez, as the interim administrator of the Tyler diocese. |

A little bit of perspective - the bigger picture Fifty years after the Israeli seizure of the West Bank during the six-day war in 1967, the physical signs of occupation have become an embedded and dominating part of the landscape. For Palestinians – whether they live in Jerusalem’s Old City, the south Hebron Hills, or further north in Nablus or the Jordan valley – daily life is hemmed in by Jewish settlements. The Israeli separation wall looms over the terrain, and at checkpoints along Route 60 security forces man terminals and guard the bus stops at the main junctions. These images, captured in the weeks leading up to the 50th anniversary of the occupation, show scenes from daily life for Palestinians in the West Bank, marked by segregation and control. One of the main crossing points for Palestinian labourers entering Israel, Checkpoint 300 in Bethlehem has long queues from the early hours. Outside the entrance lanes, street vendors sell coffee, tea and food to the workers, some of whom have travelled from villages an hour away in the south Hebron Hills, getting up at 3am. On busy days, when the passage is slow, some climb on to the bars to pass over the heads of the men below, and jump to the front of the line. Murad Wash, 34, installs floors in Jerusalem. “Today is one of the better days,” he says, drinking his tea and watching the steady stream of workers. “The line is moving quickly. The problem when it is slow is if there is a pick-up time with a car on the other side. If you miss that you have to pay for a taxi.” “It is like being in a zoo,” he adds, nodding towards the barred lane and turnstiles that access the main part of the checkpoint. “People just want to feel human and have a good life, like anywhere else.” 7.30am: the south Hebron Hills Each school day, eight or so children walk the kilometre from their homes to their village school in the south Hebron Hills past the fence of the Jewish settlement of Maon. Attacks by the settlers on the children have led the Israeli military to provide an escort, which waits by the end of the settlements for the children to arrive. The soldiers are supposed to walk with the children but in recent months have followed in their vehicle. Sometimes they are late, and that is when the children have been harassed. Guy Butavia, an Israeli activist with the Taayush non-governmental organisation, and Italian volunteers walk with the children too. “Things were even more problematic before 2012. They have calmed down a bit since then, but incidents still happen, the last time a week and a half ago.” He points to one of the hills where, 400 metres away, one of the settlers is watching and speaking into a phone. The children wait where the path passes the settlement fence for the Israeli soldiers to arrive, and a girl draws a hopscotch grid in the dust. They set off again when the vehicle arrives. ......... For Palestinians, the coming weeks will signify an entirely contrary and bitter set of emotions. They will be reflecting on 50 years of military occupation, and the fact that, despite the Oslo peace process of the 1990s, the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, the rounds of talks, and the endless lip service paid by both the international community and Israeli and Palestinian leaders, a two-state solution appears further away than ever. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/06/a-day-in-the-life-of-the-west-bank-occupation https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/may/20/six-day-war-israel-still-divided-over-legacy-50-years-on |

Guy Butavia, an Israeli activist with the Taayush non-governmental organisation, and Italian volunteers walk with the children too. “Things were even more problematic before 2012. They have calmed down a bit since then, but incidents still happen, the last time a week and a half ago.” He points to one of the hills where, 400 metres away, one of the settlers is watching and speaking into a phone. The children wait where the path passes the settlement fence for the Israeli soldiers to arrive, and a girl draws a hopscotch grid in the dust. They set off again when the vehicle arrives. ......... For Palestinians, the coming weeks will signify an entirely contrary and bitter set of emotions. They will be reflecting on 50 years of military occupation, and the fact that, despite the Oslo peace process of the 1990s, the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005, the rounds of talks, and the endless lip service paid by both the international community and Israeli and Palestinian leaders, a two-state solution appears further away than ever. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jun/06/a-day-in-the-life-of-the-west-bank-occupation https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/may/20/six-day-war-israel-still-divided-over-legacy-50-years-on |

ganisucks:This here is scary by a SAN,even if its confirmed that a crime is committed. The crime in Nigeria is in the book - the constitution. Again how can the highest job in the land allow a primary 6 certificate worse it doesn't specify the grades. Crime scene
