@Kuenga white people aren't really known for cannibalism or chopping the limbs off small children. although, this is not an endorsement of colonization of africa, or salvery or anything like that, it just seemed like a distortion so i looked into it.
reasons like cannibalism are why africans at that time were believed to be non-human savages
@Kuenga @meowskiIt could be both. I think the Wikipedia article mentions rubber "sentries," and then there's this description:

the crazy thing is that european colonization would have been much more difficult or impossible, if native africans weren't willing to sell their own people into slavery and act as enforcers
@meowski @KuengaI think you're looking for a way to deflect blame or rationalize what Europeans did.
Colonization is rarely possible without some form of compliance, and the French themselves cooperated with Nazis. It's always the case that there's always someone willing to sell out their neighbors for an extra crust of bread. It's also always the case that a region's ethnic groups has pre-existing conflicts.
In case you're wondering like I did: unfortunately a European Arrest Warrant offers too many loopholes to act as a guarantee that genocide-complicit countries would be forced to execute it...

#Spain's top criminal court has initiated legal proceedings against #Netanyahu and several senior military officials for alleged war crimes related to the Israeli navy's assault on a Freedom Flotilla ship bound for #Gaza.
The court is evaluating its jurisdiction to open a full criminal case, seeking cooperation with the #ICC, which has already issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu related to the current conflict in Gaza.
Despite pursuing justice against Israeli leaders, Spain continues defense collaborations with Israel, including a recent agreement with Israeli arms manufacturer #Elbit Systems despite the fact that 82% of Spaniards view Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide, according to a survey by the Elcano Royal Institute.

A senior official in the Hamas movement, Taher Al-Nounou, has confirmed that the group has agreed to release 10 Israeli captives currently held in Gaza in order to guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid and bring an end to the ongoing war on the Strip.
In remarks made to the press on Wednesday, Al-Nounou said that Hamas is showing a high degree of flexibility during the current negotiations taking place in Doha.

An Israeli blockade on food, aid and medicine has been fuelling a man-made starvation crisis in Gaza for months.
Now, a notorious Israeli- and US backed group seems to be using aid to move hundreds of thousands of people to the south - where Israel plans to forcibly transfer Palestinians into a “concentration zone.”
On Wednesday, GHF announced that it's now going to operate only one distribution center.

A group of #EU officials has written to the leaders of the European institutions criticising the bloc for “little or no meaningful action” in response to the dire humanitarian crisis in #Gaza.
EU “inaction” has “contributed to the environment of unaccountability that resulted in the full-scale invasion of the Gaza Strip taking place at this moment”, continues the letter sent to the presidents of the European Commission, European Council and the #European parliament.
The letter was sent less than a week after the EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas announced a review of the EU’s trade agreement with Israel, at the behest of a large majority of member states. The EU staff group welcomed this move, but said it was “devastatingly late for thousands killed in Gaza”.
EU Staff for Peace last year called for a suspension of the EU-#Israel agreement, an end to member states’ arms exports to Israel and “concrete efforts” to support the work of the international criminal court and international court of justice. The group has now accused the institutions they work for of an “apparent double standard” by failing to condemn European leaders who discussed hosting Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister wanted for alleged war crimes by the #ICC.

EU Staff for Peace letter accuses institution bosses of failing to exert influence to help PalestiniansJennifer Rankin (The Guardian)
There are protests everywhere, including here in #Belgium. On Sunday (11 May), tens of thousands of Belgians took to the streets in #Brussels to demand an end to the blockade and the war on #Gaza.
A week later, on 18 May, a hundred thousand #Dutch people held a march through The Hague with the same demands.
Geert Wilders wrote on X: "Today demo in Dhaag against Israel + for Hamas. Thousands of confused people draw a red line. I also draw a red line. Against terror and starving their own people by Hamas and for maximum destruction of their murderous infrastructure. And for Israel."
So the rest of the world sees this differently.
...For about a week now, we have been reading increasing criticism of Israeli and US policy in #US newspapers. #France, the #UK and #Canada are suddenly threatening concrete action if Israel continues the blockade and war. Belgian rectors took the lead with the joint demand to suspend the #European Association Agreement with Israel.
Many will feel that all this does not go far enough. Indeed, that resolution can be criticised.
The decision by the European Foreign Affairs Council to first "investigate" whether or not Israel is in compliance with human rights before it wants to review the association agreement is also more than cynical.

A senior #EU official has been lobbying against sanctions on Israel, using claims of antisemitism and arguments that critics say cross the line from political advocacy into disinformation. But what does the leaked diplomatic cable reveal?
Von Schnurbein warned that reviewing the agreement could be based on “rumours about #Jews,” and claimed that humanitarian actions in #Gaza were being ignored by the media and the #UN. She also described charity bake sales for Gaza within EU institutions as creating an atmosphere of "ambient antisemitism."
Her remarks directly contradicted findings from the EU’s own foreign service, the UN Human Rights Office, and the International Court of Justice, bodies that have documented starvation, large-scale civilian deaths, and possible war crimes in Gaza.
By framing calls for sanctions as antisemitic, she didn’t just misrepresent policy, she attempted to delegitimise criticism altogether. That’s a dangerous move, especially when it risks silencing evidence of war crimes and civilian suffering.

An arms embargo.

Banning trade with Israeli #settlements.
However, none of the options gathered the necessary support during the meeting.
Reacting to the decision, Amnesty International’s secretary general Agnès Callamard said: “The EU’s refusal to suspend its agreement with #Israel is a cruel and unlawful betrayal of the European project and vision, predicated on upholding international law and fighting authoritarian practices, of the European Union’s own rules and of the human rights of Palestinians."

it's always been like that. Europe has always been hostile to Russia and abhorringly racist. Either directly through colonialism, or indirectly through their corporations appropriating resources and labour in the Orient, Africa and south America.
The difference is that Israel is being a little bit too loud nowadays and that they are crumbling economically. The shortlived prosperity after ww2 and the liberal facade(caused mainly by that prosperity imo) in domestic policy have created an absolutely undeserved idea that somehow Europe is mature, just, progressive etc. And even these freedoms are being taken away from us now that there is no economic growth.
I am simplifying a little bit but the main power structures that enabled Europe to get where it's at today have never changed, so even though we truly have more freedoms on average than the rest of the world, it's because we don't affect the ruling class' foreign policy too much and because we have been systemtically oppressing either directly or indirectly the countries outside the West and stealing their wealth.
The Palestinian struggle for freedom and self determination is a perfect opportunity for all of us to realize this and demand a truly just world.

Israel's defense exports jumped over 13% in 2024 to $14.8 billion, even as overall Israeli exports contracted 5.6%. The defense sector now represents nearly 25% of Israel's goods exports and approaching 10% of total exports.
Europe became the dominant market, accounting for 54% of defense exports (up from 35% in 2023) as countries increased military spending amid the #Ukraine #war. Air defense systems, missiles and rockets comprised 48% of exports, with Israeli technology proving effective against drone and missile threats.

✅ Your president breaks his very own Big Beautiful Trade Agreement then adds tariffs and threatens to invade Canada
✅ Your border officers reject our citizens and ICE throws Canadians into encampments rather than send them home.
So, please, please explain why in the world would anyone in their right mind desire to to visit the US and spend money that is taxed and eventually goes to support Trump and ICE !

in reply to Sir Matt • • •— BOTGR: I used to be a dog handler-in-training on a FEMA urban search and rescue team (NE-TF1). The red tape and delays involved in getting the team to Ground Zero after 9-11 were ridiculous, let alone being deployed to smaller incidents.
Drove the search teams crazy, since there’s a limited window of opportunity to find survivors. It wasn’t unusual for someone to say, “Why are we training all our dogs to find live people? We might as well just mostly train cadaver dogs.” 😞

in reply to Lady MountainJay • • •— it was very eye-opening to see the incompetency and sluggishness of the federal bureaucracy, and how it hampered what was otherwise a well trained and highly competent SAR team (thanks entirely to the tireless efforts of local fire departments and various volunteers).
When I started hearing conspiracy rumors that FEMA was hopelessly corrupt, it wasn’t hard for me to believe!
