   I’m old enough to remember when starving people before making them line up for food and shooting them was called genocide, not “war”. https://mastodon.world/@Herman/114886564639613383

     So maybe those protesting (and risking prison) for doing and the rest of us need to change tactic and find a way to resolve this in the courts.

     No qualified judge can argue with the wording of international law, and the fact a number of international independent bodies have labelled this genocide. If anything else a judge in a lower court may not have the power to judge and needs to hand to a higher court.

     @zleap Or so many people start protesting that there isn’t room enough in the prisons to hold them.

     (And nothing to stop us from doing both and other things besides.)
