Seriously!

Heck I think we should boycott the shit out of Azerbaijan on top of that!

providing more context, raphael lemkin coined the term 'genocide' and campaigned to create the genocide convention.

It's a genocide.

It's a genocide.

It's a genocide.

It's a genocide.

The Lemkin Institute condemns Israel's terrorist attacks against Lebanese people in the past two days.

Using exploding pagers and walkie-talkies, it has killed 29 Lebanese people and wounded at least 3,200, including 9- year-old Fatima Abdullah and an 11-year-old boy.

Israel is a genocidal state that is completely out of control and supported by a Western world that is too racist and Islamophobic to care.

We call on all nations of moral conscience to intervene immediately to stop this slaughter of Arab peoples before the whole world is drawn down into the breathtaking moral collapse and darkness we all see before our eyes.

I started listing all the atrocities and war crimes and methods of wholesale systemic slaughter of a defenceless civilian population that's happened over the last two months alone and gave up midway because I lost track. But no, it's not the "ultimate crime". /s

The theory is they're doing this because signatories to the UN genocide convention have a legal obligation to prevent genocide, so if the US recognizes it as such they are required to take action against Israel. A dog being required to hit his own tail for misbehaving.

This is a must-read for anyone who cares about trans people, and everyone else who is reachable.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide has released a statement saying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and the United States is complicit. The statement was released in the aftermath of the horrific attack on a refugee camp in Rafah

In April, Lemkin also issued a genocide alert for the West Bank

Today is the Memorial Day for the victims of the Bangladesh genocide.

Where 3 million innocent Bengali people (both Muslims and Hindus (as well as Buddhists and Christians) alike!) were killed by Pakistani troops and mobs during Bangladesh’s war for independence in 1971.

A genocide which Pakistan still DENIES to this day. Openly!

A genocide which was spearheaded by the killing of intellectuals and university students as well.

Just as the ottoman Turks did to the Armenians and Assyrians in 1915.

Feel free to reblog this.

I’m including the links here for more information.

Statement from the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention

[biceratops7]

Oops, our bad, *attempted* genocide. Just cause you’re failing doesn’t mean an attempt isn’t being made.

Arabs in the british mandate that became israel and palestone- 1948 population, about 900k

2023 population, just in west bank and gaza- 5 million! Plus 2 million in israel itself who are citizens cause they dont do terrorism.

So like 7x the population? And still growing?

Worst. Genocide. Ever.

The term genocide was coined by the Jewish professor Raphael Lemkin in 1944, let's see what he says about genocide:

Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation… It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.”

Anon, may Hell be a soothing place for your wickedness.

The Lempkin Instuite for Genocide Prevention is worried about the genocidal nature of all these anti-trans bills in America. https://www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-new-page/statement-on-the-genocidal-nature-of-the-gender-critical-movement%E2%80%99s-ideology-and-practice

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention voices its concern over the growing number of laws introduced in the United States that target transgender individuals and the transgender community.

Anti-trans hostility in the US has become a staple of the Republican Party’s election strategy and is clearly being used to stoke voters’ fears of a changing world by raising the specter of a malevolent polluting force tied to liberalism, cosmopolitanism, and democracy.

The Lemkin Institute believes that the so-called “gender critical movement” that is behind these laws is a fascist movement furthering a specifically genocidal ideology that seeks the complete eradication of trans identity from the world.

Today marks 32 years since the beginning of the Bosnian war.

I’m gonna include links for information and resources in this post.

Thousands of innocent civilians, mostly Bosniaks would be slaughtered, raped and/or interned by Yugoslav army troops, Bosnian Serb fascist militias and foreign volunteer mercenaries (mostly Russian and Greek christofascist types).

This would lead to the Bosnian genocide which consisted of atrocities such as the Srebrenica massacre where 8,372 men and boys would be killed en masse.

Among many other atrocities (too many to list here)

Atrocities which continue to be defended and/or denied by politicians among the Serbian far right, Bosnian Serbs, and far right fascist monsters in Europe, America, Israel and other places.

Including British loyalists in my own country, lionising figures like Miloševic and calling for my own people to be slaughtered like the Bosniaks. (Ironic since the UK they claim loyalty contributed troops and resources to the NATO and UNPROFOR missions against such forces in Yugoslavia at the same time)

Defending or denying such atrocities saying “tHe SErbS wERe ONLy deFEndinG THEir hOMeLanD¡” (if I hear another kebab removal joke I will NOT hesitate to get violent). Lionising the perpetrators in the process. Even to this day.

The war would end in 1995 with the signing of the Dayton Agreement. Which has since led to a lasting but uneasy peace but denialism still continues.

I’m including a few more links in a followup post too.

Reblog the shit out of this.

I bring this up because I study history myself.

the world genocide isn't even 100 years old and the guy who came up with it died in poverty. like think about why he had such hard time making genocide recognized internationally...
