Germany reportedly asked Israel to sign a 'genocide clause'
On 13 October 2024, German newspaper BILD reported in an exclusive (behind a paywall) that Germany asked the Israeli government to sign a so-called ‘genocide clause’ as a precondition for further arms deliveries. This clause apparently contained a written assurance from the Israeli government that German arms will not be used to commit genocide. The document is said to have arrived in Berlin on 10 October and allowed Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz to declare in parliament the next day that "We have supplied arms, and we will supply arms".
This raises several questions:
1) Does this imply that the German Government shares in the suspicion that Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip?
2) Can such an assurance absolve Germany from its responsibility under international law not to aid or assist acts of genocide?

No matter how deeply you know and understand that there is a racialised hierarchy of human life where some deaths matter and most don’t, it’s still always shocking and infuriating to encounter it, especially as blatantly and repeatedly as we have the last 12 months.

Not an invasion of a country and the killing of its people, just a push into "Hezbollah's backyard"

Jesus fucking Christ. I have never seen anything like this in south Beirut, not since 2006. This is a carpet bombing of an area with hundreds of thousands of people.

Don't see the point of getting that wound up about a ruling party's conference speeches, but this is a wonderfully succinct encapsulation of Starmer's basic pitch as "unlike the previous guy, I subscribe to the correct notions re: certain lives being worth less than others"

"This is Keir Starmer you’re talking here" someone replied to me incredulously after I said he lived it up on expenses as DPP.
So let's look instead at the hospitality he's been enjoying lately: more than £22,000 worth in the last year alone—averaging £1,800 a month in freebies.

Asked if he is comfortable co-operating on immigration policy with an Italian government which is accused of infringing the human rights of refugees, Keir Starmer says it shows he is pushing a "return to British pragmatism."

Don’t underestimate the role walking, sports or exercise can play in improving mental health.
Hillwalking helped me in a huge way when experiencing depression and suicidal thoughts. 🥾⛰️

An ex police officer has just said, under oath, that smearing people isn't the role of undercover cops but that it is the business of the security services. Immediately after he said it the live broadcast was suspended. #spycops

Incidentally, this is the key to what has just happened with 2 child cap - Treasury control. The vote came down to a demand that HMT regain and reinforce its autonomy over fiscal policy, its authority in government and therefore its authority over Labour… 1/n
