Criminal mass starvation, GAZA

lundi 5 février 2024 à 05:35

*Unless Israel changes course, it could be legally culpable for mass starvation.*

So far, what Israel has done to Palestinian civilians in Gaza is violent killing of many civilians, and imposing great privation. To call it "genocide" is an exaggeration. But if Israel continues adding to this crime, including by knowingly causing famine in Gaza, the crime will grow to become genocide for real.

Israel's true friends must join Palestine's true friends in making Israel stop.

Assisted suicide as murder, CAN

lundi 5 février 2024 à 05:35

A Canadian man who sent many people suicide kits has been charged with many murders. Equating facilitation of suicide with murder is willful blindness.

The article obtusely refuses to entertain any doubt that providing means to commit suicide constitutes murder. Even if the author believes that, does perse not recognize that it is possible to disagree?

At the same time, it occurs to me that someone may have requested means to commit suicide, not in order to commit suicide, but in order to murder someone else. Ideally, people who want to commit suicide should be able to get the means from someone who would refuse to provide them to someone like that.
