Dette er et rent propagandaprogram, som fra nå av går ukommentert på NRK. Jeg fatter ikke hva de tenker på.

I Norge er det ikke mulig å stjele et valg.

Men er det mulig å kjøpe et?

Dør folkeretten på Gaza?

Gjestet @audunlysbakken.bsky.social og podcasten Skjebnetid. Hvorfor er det både vanskelig og viktig å snakke om folkemord i Gaza? Er det mulig å overskue konsekvensene av denne katastrofen for de reglene som skal holde orden på verden? open.spotify.com/episode/4HbH...

UN officials warn of starvation amid ‘gender emergency’ in war-torn Sudan Hungry civilians are reportedly eating animal feed as women and girls face a “gender emergency” in war-torn Sudan, UN officials said on Thursday.

In Sudan, starvation crimes and crimes of sexual and gender-based violence are intersecting and mutually exacerbating in a humanitarian and gender emergency.

(+) Det glemte beskyttelsesansvaret Ødeleggelsen av Gaza viser at det er på tide å gjenoppfriske FNs vedtatte ansvar for å beskytte sivile mot massemord.

For 20 år siden ble verdens land enige om å beskytte sivile mot de verste forbrytelsene. Det kan virke meningsløst å snakke om forebygging og beskyttelse av sivile når Gaza allerede er ødelagt. Men situasjonen på Gaza og Vestbredden kan fortsatt bli verre. Min kronikk i Morgenbladet.

I dag er det tre år siden det målrettede terrorangrepet mot skeive under Oslo Pride. I Klassekampen skriver jeg og Øyvind B. Solheim om konsekvensene av terrorangrepet for skeive i Norge, både for direkte berørte som opplevde terroren på nært hold og for andre skeive klassekampen.no/artikkel/202...

US hits International Criminal Court judges with sanctions over investigation into Israel The Trump administration is slapping sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court over the tribunal’s investigation into alleged war crimes by Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza.

The hypocrisy of the #USA is palpable & depressing. A country that once led accountability for Nazis now blatantly only supports accountability for non-allies. #intLaw #ICC apnews.com/article/inte...

YouTube video by HL -senteret I skyggen av krigen: Problemene med "folkemord"

Why has the law created a hierarchy of suffering that allows us to ignore millions of victims of wars of annihilation?
Last week, the Norwegian Holocaust Center and @uio.no invited Professor @dirkmoses.bsky.social to discuss the problems of genocide. Comments by @kjerstilohne.bsky.social and myself.

Folkemord. Jeg diskuterer misforståelser, nyanser, og hvorfor det er vanskelig å påvise folkemord mens en krig pågår. Det viktigste er allikevel: andre forbrytelser, som krigsforbrytelser eller forbrytelser mot menneskeheten, kan være akkurat like grusomme for de som rammes.

Midt i alle diskusjonene om sikkerhetspolitisk krise og militær opprustning, glemmer vi at den største trusselen mot vestlige demokratier er degenerering innenfra?

The Guardian view on Israel and Gaza: Trump can stop this horror. The alternative is unthinkable | Editorial Editorial: The US president has the leverage to force through a ceasefire. If he does not, he will implicitly signal approval of what looks like a plan of total destruction

"Openly envisioning the total destruction of Gaza, pursuing the removal of its population ..., and destroying the means by which life is sustained, looks not merely like brutality but a deliberate project of elimination."

"What is this, if not genocidal? "

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Remove Hamas"...how? Terrorising a civilian population in the hope that they will get rid of their leaders has never worked, here implies a war crime, and is morally abhorrent. Where is the outcry from Western governments?

Israel's Defense Minister issues an unlawful threat / advance confession to the civilian population of Gaza:

Making civilians the object of attack
Threats of violence to spread terror
Collective punishment
Forcible displacement

The biggest threat to European security does not come from Russia but it comes from the far right within its own nation states. All of the defense spending is not going to protect anyone if Trump's and Putin's buddies are voted into office, they consolidate power and erode liberal democracy 1/

In violation of #ICJ orders. So #Palestine is to return to #starvation. #warCrimes #genocide

It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Woke up to see Donald Trump sharing a video on Truth Social about turning Gaza into a holiday resort with a giant gold statue of Trump, ending with a final shot of Trump and Netanyahu enjoying the beach together. Absolutely unhinged.

IShowSpeed-besøk startet «Stem FrP»-trend I samarbeid med Faktisk.no kan VG presentere en kartlegging av 2,6 millioner kommentarer på TikTok – for å finne ut hva som utløste «Stem Frp»-trenden i Norge.

Bra journalistikk som gjør meg som minoritetsnordmann uvel…
Jeg klarer ikke å forstå at folk flest ikke står i mot. Jeg klarer ikke å ta innover meg at jeg er mindre verdt - for det ér i essens dét disse meningene betyr. Og at så mange ikke bryr seg.

Jeg trenger ingen trøst. Jeg trenger allierte.

Knesset advances bill imposing up to five years in jail for Israelis cooperating with ICC ***

The definitions in this proposed Israeli law are so broad that "any journalist publishing an investigation that suggests a crime committed by IDF forces would also be at risk of imprisonment if the bill is passed." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Dear Non-Fascist Europeans,

The current US leaders believe they're allied with fascists inside your country against you, not allied with you against foreign invasion and threats to democracy.

I'm sorry, I wish it weren't true, but it is. You really need to adjust.

Sincerely,
Non-fascist Americans

The Cost of Cruelty - Progressive Voice Myanmar The suspension of United States foreign aid has inflicted immense suffering on millions in already dire situations worldwide[...]

The US aid freeze isn't just a policy decision—it's cruel to millions. Refugee clinics are shutting down, patients are being sent home without treatment, and most vulnerable are left to suffer. The US must reverse this unconscionable decision immediately.

Can Genocide Studies Survive a Genocide in Gaza? A discipline born from the study of the Holocaust faces its contradictions as Israel stands accused of the “crime of crimes.”

Essential reading from @jewishcurrents.bsky.social for anyone interested in genocide studies and the atrocities in Gaza. Can the research- and advocacy field survive the current crisis?

Tråd. For noen år tilbake var det mange i medie-Norge (ja, Aftenpodden, jeg ser på dere) som syntes det var så kjekt at fascisten Steve Bannon ble invitert til Nordiske mediedager. Vi må jo forstå hva han står for og hvordan han opererer, må vite!

Til alle fans av Elon Musk og Donald Trump så vil jeg gjerne utstede denne håndbevegelsen, som er et obskurt symbol på glede og engasjement.

As we mark the 20th anniversary of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P), the norm is struggling. Can small states save R2P? While many small states Such as the Nordics provide rhetorical support for R2P, their role in norm advancement differs significantly:

The #atrocityprevention agenda and the #WomenPeaceAndSecurity agenda both deal with the protection of civilians from violent crimes. In this new policy brief, @andrea-cocciarelli.bsky.social and I show how atrocity prevention can strengthen #WPS and gender-sensitive approaches to conflict.

Norway is known for its high ambitions in international human rights and civilian protection. How does this translate into promoting #atrocityprevention and the Responsibility to Protect - #R2P - in the #SecurityCouncil? Check out my open access article in the Nordic Journal of Human Rights.
