ignoring the bad faith of comparing Ursula to Charles and assuming that Charles was a supporter of the Palestinian genocide, then absolutely yes. it would be hilarious to finally see a British Royal be held accountable for their genocides.
By that criterion, Xi Jinping and the Iranians are also complicit in Ukrainian genocide
idk what made you think this would be a gotcha moment. this logic is actually very consistent with Albanese’s, any world leaders complicit in genocide should be punished.
I agree Trump should be tried by the ICC as long as you maintain this logical consistency for Biden, who was the first after Oct 7 to mainstream this narrative that Israel is justified in ethnically cleansing Palestine because “all Palestinians are Hamas dontcha know, Jack?”
you seem to have fallen victim to the logical fallacy that claims you can’t focus on more than one big thing at a time.
Talking with a Nazi, does not make you a Nazi.
no it does not, but agreeing with them and being one of their biggest global supporters does.
you’re trying to paint Ursula as a neutral figure, which is the opposite of her track record on Israel.
she’s not just being acused of diplomatic relations with Israel, but for bolstering the genocidal propaganda that blames Palestinians for their own extermination which is exactly what a Nazi would do. also for materially providing the weapons of extermination to Israel even though they’re the aggressor and aren’t in need of financial support.
Not exactly the sort of stuff happening in a genocide.
so you’re just a straight up genocide denier, got it. Israel flattening Gaza and erasing entire cities from existence is an example of Israeli restraint and humanitarianism, I assume.
Von der Leyen is not a country, so the ICJ has jurisdiction over her.
my bad, there was indeed a complaint filed against her at the ICC, which Albanese seems to be referencing. I think she’s right in saying that the ICC should do more even though it would diverge from their normative record because these are extreme circumstances.
Most of those were related to Israel blocking food into Gaza, which von der Leyen actively opposed.
you can’t claim she opposes the withholding of humanitarian aid while at the same time arming the IDF to make it impossible for the humanitarian convoys to go into Gaza. also the IDF bombing said convoys.
that’s like claiming that you couldn’t have possibly known that promoting friendly relations with China and promoting more intense economic cooperation would lead to more Uyghurs ending up in forced labor camps or being ethnically cleansed.
Germany supporting Israel is an example of fascism, just because reality vaguely aligns with Russian propaganda which incorporates kernels of truth to be effective doesn’t mean Europe isn’t complicit in genocide. this sounds like conspiratorial thinking to me.
in order for Ursula to be demonized, Albanese’s facts would have to be untrue which you haven’t proven yet. are you just defaulting to trusting Israel every time over the UN saying these are crimes against humanity?
wdym by the EU isn’t any different? who are you comparing with here?
what does Russia have to do with this? you’ve deeply confused me
what would’ve you liked her to do at the UN? are you under the false impression that she’s not also applying internal pressure on the UN member states causing the genocide? is Israel not losing their shit at UN meetings every single time a UN official calls them out?
are you under the impression that Albanese wrote the article? she doesn’t have editorial control over what the title is.
“everyone else also did it” didn’t seem to protect the Nazis during their prosecution so I think that’s a garbage argument to make.
she could’ve done the bare minimum of making a public statement and try to sway EU members to stop the arms sales. instead, she encourages everyone to intensify the genocide. that’s reason enough for an ICJ case.
i agree, if I had to choose I’d definitely want an economic/cyber war with the US over the much more likely conventional war with China
we’re on a European board talking about Chinese attacks on European infrastructure. I’m not aware of US invasion threats to EU countries (which Greenland isn’t a part of).
I’m aware of the Snowden leaks and the CIA worldwide spying networks. those are valid concerns, however I don’t think the risk to privacy can be compared to the yearly cyber attacks perpetuated by China against the EU. Only one of these will be used in a potential war against us since the US is a NATO ally.
who cares who the US invaded in the past? I never said they didn’t, you’re bordering on whataboutism.
gonna assume you aren’t just a genocide denier and you’re asking for sources in good faith:
https://www.antislavery.org/reports/uyghur-forced-labour-green-technology/
Is that a problem with Chinese tech, or just proprietary tech? Because apart from privacy, I can’t tell which human rights tech is supposed to respect
not using Uyghur slave labor in East Turkestan would be a bare minimum for example. I’m not implying that China is alone in this, it’s a problem in all the other capitalist countries.
even if they made their tech open source, I highly doubt they’d stop exploiting the populace
to point number 2, China is also a fascist state. your meme is whataboutism because it’s implying we should leave China alone while at the same time China is committing the same abuses that the US does. I’m a FOSS advocate in software and hardware, most Chinese tech doesn’t meet the standards of respecting human rights
says the ignorant tankie while Chinese troops are in Ukraine. there’s no credible threat of US invasion so leave your whataboutisms at the door of your instance
they are, the tanks being Chinese instead of Russian doesn’t make a difference
“call me a conspiracy theorist but these news about Jewish concentration camps and Germany hunting them down came out right as the USSR was reconsidering their alliance with them”
reminder that Microsoft is on the BDS boycott list. the workers won’t be seeing any money from a 2016 game so you might as well obtain it through unofficial means 😉
won’t jail you for your thoughts
as long as you don’t support Palestine lmao
believe it or not, it’s possible for 2 things to be true at the same time. ACS is cool even though Ubisoft is evil. what you call virtue signaling is just people having interests
no, if anything it will increase them because prices going up is almost always tied to mass layoffs. austerity package and all that.
