He should have asked some genAI to write this 😐

Oh thanks for the article! I think I read something similar on Wikipedia but generally it seems that his statements mean that Canada does not agree with the case but is not necessarily siding with anyone, at least not explicitly. I don't think they support South Africa nor Israel. I honestly respect Canada for its neutral stance on this... sometimes some things are just not one's business nor in one's interest so I feel like it's not a bad idea say that one respects the ICCs decisions but doesn't really agree with some of the cases while they are still under review.

I guess we will have to wait and see the decision. What do you expect the outcome to be? Do you think they have compelling evidence to prove it's a full blown genocide? I don't mean evidence like articles from biased media (like Al Jazera), but more like LEGAL evidence.

Yeah you're right about the distribution. I found this on Wikipedia on South Africa's genocide case against Israel Thought you might like it

It looks like Canada is neutral on the matter though. Like you said, they have a cool head. It's not unwise to be on the fence on a matter that doesn't relate to you directly.

Thanks for the thorough explanation! I would like to see some links for some things you mentioned (like the warnings being a hoax and blocking escape routes)... but most of the other stuff I was able to find online easily with google.

But so... does Israel value the destruction of Hamas more than the civilian lives of Palestinians in Gaza? I feel like the cost is too high. 🤔 don't get me wrong, I am not a general but I don't feel like I'd be okay with firing into a crowd of children and women in a residential area to kill X number of combatants, even if they snuck into these areas designated for civilians only 😅😅

I've had, hands down, one of the worst project managers in the world. Hewas overly concerned with team politics and toxicly positive. His toxic positivity was the main reason in my opinion as to why we never delivered anything usable to the company and were eventually downsized. He had no vision at all for quick and frequent delivery... he was the wrong person for the job but consistently believed that he just needed to "do his best for the day" and sleep happy that night. Meanwhile, his team was boiling with frustration and wasted work hours for features requested by management on a whim — these usually end up fully forgotten by the time they are production ready. His biggest accomplishment is somewhat shielding his team from upper management... sometimes. He was such a bottle neck and our team was a net loss to the company except where they could advertise "using AI" in their products. If he had been removed, and we (his team) had to manage things ourselves with the stakeholders, we would have probably been able to deliver something worthwhile every quarter or so.

Could I ask. Especially that I'm just now learning about all of this... how are Gazans considered a human shield all together? Are they meant to protect the tunnels from attacks or?

Hmm, but if they are larger in number, it doesn't necessarily mean they are right. Right? 🤔 Or am I misunderstanding your point?
