What's the difference between the Council of Europe and the EU Parliament?
It’s not part of the EU. It’s what rules the European Court of Human Rights. Switzerland, UK, Turkey etc are members.
Biden needs to green-light the Ukrainian use of western weapons on targets inside Russia. The US is still tying Ukraine's hands in the third year of this war! If Russia didn't want to be shot at, they should not have invaded. This has gone on for much too long.
Standard United States operating procedure is to arm the side doing the genocide, let's appreciate their restraint
I wonder if Putin would ever relent, or if they would have to essentially siege Moscow and St. P to get an agreement?
If the economy goes down, putin does do too, and the economy is on its deathbed.
Or as they say, the revolution is theee meals away.
And yet they still won’t call the destruction of Palestine a genocide…
Pretty sure they will. The ICJ already said its likely in a preliminary finding, but they need to finish reviewing the mountain of evidence, which will take time
If the European council has enough evidence to call what’s happening in Ukraine a genocide, then they should have more than enough information to call what’s been happening in Palestine a genocide even before Oktober 7th of last year. They didn’t need a ICJ ruling for Ukraine, and they don’t need one for Palestine.
You do understand a year is a pretty short amount of time in the international law sphere.
This ukraine case had been filed two and a half years ago.
The Palestinian genocide has been going on for decades.
Is Israel's strategy to just keep creating so much evidence the ICJ is swamped?
Which angers me as a Ukrainian. Yes, circumstances are different and I despise misinformation coming from a loudly obnoxious subset of pro-Palestinian side, but Israel officials had been clearly stating genocidal intent from the early days.
When picking which genocide to support, the correct answer is „none”. But support for Israel kinda aligns with „Russia cannot lose” approach, so I guess things are consistent in that regard.
And that quite a lot of Ukrainians support Israel and don't see the similarities between their struggle and the Palestinian's — I don't get it.
E: and to the down voters, I am Ukrainian diaspora and lived in Kyiv until the war and visit regularly. I have these conversations frequently when I'm there.
Do you have examples of this? I figured Ukrainians would understand the plight of the Gazans more than most
Tankies: "No, you don't understand, we meant WESTERN-sponsored genocide!"
a systematic policy aimed at erasing Ukraine’s historical and cultural identity
Absolutely. Since before the war started, Putin has been calling Kyiv the home of the Russian people.
I'd say if he really wanted to trace the origins of the Russian people and ignore the fact that most of the Russian people's ancestors most likely already lived in Russia before there was a Russia and just act like the ruling class was everyone, go with Stockholm.
Whoa, hey, how the fuck did Sweden get dragged into this sewage fire?
Not cool man, not cool.
Not my fault you guys decided to start colonizing down the Volga over 1000 years ago.
23 comments and only one top level comment is talking about anything related to the actual link.
I agree, and want to applaud you for saying this even considering my own contributions to discussion down the comments that were not relevant to the article. It is a duty in my opinion to counter misinformation where it is.
I wanted to say this myself but opted not to (based on perhaps unfounded fears of how it would be received), and I regret not doing so sooner. Thank you for pointing this out.
To clarify, this is not an undermining or comparison of both conflicts. This is more so to provide an alongside image to hold news stations accountable for what they determine as "crossing a line".

Are you suggesting that the genocide of Muslims in china is also happening, or are you going to deny it?
Keep trying.
That sounded sarcastic. I'm sure it wasn't though.
Declared genocide but where are the ML to pretend it’s not happening?
