Im pretty sure there that in the last 5 years we have withness atleast 5 other genocides. All were being shared on diffrent social medias.
So yeah im not saying we should be happy but its kinda fucked up that we ignore genocides and only focus on this?
Wasn’t she following the news from Ukraine for the past few years?
How about the Uyghurs? Ukrainians? Armenians etc…
1. This is not a genocide, not even close to being one, while at this very moment several actual genocides are taking place (Sudan, Myanmar, Uyghurs).
2. WTF is this wig?
[ Removed by Reddit ]
Armenians, Uyghurs, Ukrainian children, Rwanda, ethnic cleaning of Nigerian Christians, Rohingya Muslims in Burma, Not to mention the Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian and Albanians about 20 years ago
Is she stupid?
That Irish lawyer is dumb.
It’s war and one side decided to strap children on them as bodyarmor.
*Cough* Ukraine *Cough*
I am tired of this pro palestine propagand. I saw videos. I have never seen israeli soldier rapping palestinians woman.
Lawyer doesn’t know the law. This will be ripped apart tomorrow.
Wonder where the outrage is for the Afghans or the people of Sudan? Or does it only matter when Jews are involved?
You don’t have the moral high-ground Ireland*, in fact you have nothing.
*aimed at those who think they do to be clear.
*The Darfurgenocide since 2003 – still going* – Janjaweed have conducted a calculated campaign of slaughter, rape, starvation and displacement in Darfur.
* 400k murdered
* 2.5M displaced from homes
* 200k fled the land
*The Rwandan Genocide since 1994* – Groups of ethnic Hutu, armed mostly with machetes, began a campaign of terror and bloodshed to exterminate the country’s ethnic Tutsi population.
* 1/10 of the population has been killed (800k)
* Rest displaced or fled
*Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina started 1992* – The Serbs, Croats, and Muslims – resulted in genocide committed by the Serbs against Bosnian Muslims. They systematically rounded up local Muslims and committed acts of mass murder, deported men and boys to concentration camps, and forced repopulation of entire towns. Serbs also terrorized Muslim families by using rape as a weapon against women and girls.
* 200k murdered
* 2M refugees
*The Cambodian Genocide 1975-1979* – An attempt to form a Communist peasant farming society by the Pol Pot led the Khmer Rouge political party, resulted in the deaths of 25% of the population from starvation, overwork, and executions. Different ethnic groups and all those considered to be of the “old society”, intellectuals, former government officials, and Buddhist monks were murdered. “What is rotten must be removed” was a slogan proclaimed throughout the Khmer Rouge era.
* ¼ of the population murdered
Just to name a few…. What a sad horrible world we live in.
The paradox here is that if the Israelis didnt respond, laid down their arms, then we would see a genocide of Jews and not for the first time in history, which is why the Israeli response is so strong.
The Jews say eye for an eye, the Muslims say you take my eye, I will take your entire face and I will also impose an early medieval culture upon you that seeks to ignore the last 1500 years of human learning and advancement.
Must have been snoozing in the last 40 years
It kinda undermines the point if you just make claims like this that are just blatenly and veriviable false.
Or are the Irish okay with calling the Holodomer the only man-made famine?
ITT: Many people struggling to understand what is meant with the phrase “in real-time”.
I used to actually have a really high opinion of the Irish people and nation since October the 7th all that completely changed.
Well the perpetrators are dumb enough to post their intent online, I haven’t seen that before so yeah, she’s right.
The Kurds got slaughtered a few years back. No one gave a shit
The title of an online newspaper click-baiting people (and the title of this post as well), when you can read, in the same article: *She said this is the “first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real-time in the desperate and so far vain hope that the world might do something”.*
Which is a totally different statement.
Sheesh.
Btw, I noticed all the fans of ukraine in this reddit couldn’t read past the title and blindly started to move their fingers on keyboards. Which tells a lot (even if not really a surprise).
This whole trial is a sham. Israel is fighting Hamas, which hides in hospitals and ambulances and beneath civilian populations.
Hamas’ October 7 rampage where they shot, beheaded, and burned alive every Israeli they could find was indeed genocidal. Israel fighting Hamas, which hides among the civilians of Gaza, is not genocidal.
It’s possible Israel has committed some war crimes. But sieges are legal under international law when they serve a military purpose, which the October siege on Gaza did.
The fact that South Africa can’t tell the difference between a war of defense against a genocidal terrorist group which hides among civilians and an actual genocide is appalling.
Thanks Allah those 1400 jews killed on Oct 7 don’t count as genocide. Just a massacre. Not the same guys!
I was so confused at first, I thought `Hague` was a person. Please use The Hague, it’s like calling Amsterdam.. Amster
do they not teach history in law school in Ireland?
Want CNN pretty much day in and out in Eritrea?
The Hague.
For all the “well actually” – the full quote is:
“first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real-time in the desperate and so far vain hope that the world might do something”.
Funfact: While studying about the Holocaust i found a quite intressting source. It was a magazine from 1936 (only three years after the rise of the Nazis), whit a front page were abunch of KZ inmates were kneeling in the typical uniform we today associate whit Dachau and Auschwitz.
The Magazine the describet further about the KZ (sometimes toned down but still scary). It was a publick Maganzine. This serves as a good example of how publik genocides are.
We need to get away from the Idea of a Genocide as a secret endeavour. The Holocaust serves as a prime example despite the german poulation arguing afterward theydidnt notice. They did, they just didnt care
​
TLDR: Most Genocides is more public than people think, this isnt just a symtom of our digital world.
Can none of you read? She said its the first being broadcast live on stream, not that its the first genocide to occur.
A lot of replies seem to miss the “being broadcast in real-time” part of the sentence, which is the point.
Thanks to technology and social media the news are practically real time, often directly from the people affected.
I believe this is more about how essential it is not to wait until it’s too late, especially with the extra tools we have now thanks to technology, than it is about trying to say one genocide is better/worse (or matters more) than others
Nigerian christians are quite literally being massacred almost weekly by islamists
How about Oct 7th?
These comments and this sub are disgusting. You’re all being willfully obtuse and missing the point entirely. None of the other examples you’re using to discredit this point apply to what they’re saying at all and you know it. It’s been almost 2 years since the Russia Ukraine war and there’s been 10k casualties. In the three MONTHS since Israel’s “retaliation” in Palestine there’s been 30k+ deaths. THAT constitutes a genocide, and it’s all been broadcast in realtime. IDF soldiers have been proudly posting pictures and videos doing the most horrendous things. Palestinians have been documenting their homes, hospitals, and schools being completely destroyed in front of their eyes and their families and loved ones murdered. They’ve been documenting the way they have no access to food, water or electricity for the whole world to see. This is what they mean. But despite all this, you all refuse to empathize with them and it’s actually insane.
The real questions we should be asking is what country captured European prisoners? Because last time I checked European countries had to negotiate with Palestine for their citizens to be returned. It’s as if Palestine invaded Israel and took civilians as prisoners! Crazy, right?
I like that you everyone started comparing other genocides across the recent history.
Yeah, a genocide is happening as we speak but let’s compare it to other genocides, instead of talking about this one right now.
Irish lawyer doesn’t know the meaning of genocide. That, or she decides to accuse first and check the facts later.
Hamas broadcast beheading, burning babies, parading dead bodies and kidnapping Israeli civilians on social media.
Irish lawyer: BUT Gaza is fiRsT gEnOciDe in hIStoRy being broadcast in real time.
It’s not a genocide, it’s a measured and reasonable response to a monstrous act of terrorism, and any country in the world would do the same or worse.
To call it genocide is to deny Israel the right to fight back against its aggressors, and that’s straigh up terrorism apology.
