This trial is a historic first:
The first time victims of genocide are accused of that crime for fighting the enemy threatening more genocide.
The first time a legal injunction is sought ordering parents to abandon their children to rapist captors.
I am very skeptical of the claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
This war was sparked by the terror attacks and kidnappings of October 7.
The destructivity is closely proportional to deaths during the dismantlement of ISIS.
NOBODY was accused of genocide over that.
I've upset some people, who follow me for space/tech/science, by supporting Israel in the current conflict with Hamas.
What did you expect though? Do you think that the society that builds this sort of thing and lives there is going to be a violent, bigoted theocracy like Hamas-run Gaza or a forward thinking liberal democracy like Israel? Which would you prefer it to be?
Can you really be a futurist and sympathise with the side whose morality is stuck in the 7th century? To build a bright future the kinds of societies capable of building any kind of future at all need to win out.
NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion.
I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

This was the other half of Biden. The irony is that he's known as the emoter-in-chief, the man whose reputation is built on empathy. And what we just heard was the most coherent hard nosed realist prospectus for US foreign policy from any recent American president.
@joeholmeswriter@Liv_Lever @LPostingHerLs And you get that "fact" from where? Studies have shown that for example, men receive more online abuse than women: https://t.co/HA4sW46kzZ. You're buying into a false premise here I'm afraid.

@TheCriticalDri2 you seen this interview/rant with Chris Gore on the state of the movie industry? You'd love it. You're also referenced in the comments! https://t.co/6jojpoTumv
