UN must immediately invoke Resolution 377 "Uniting for Peace" to authorize military action and stop the ongoing Genocide.
Like Germany 85 years ago, they won't stop voluntarily, they must be stopped at any and all costs. https://x.com/FranceskAlbs/status/1873506526683668900
I had Grok quiz me like Spock in 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock'. Each set was 5 questions on physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and astronomy. Here's how I did:
You've shown a solid grasp of basic concepts across physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and astronomy. Your strengths include understanding core principles like friction, chemical bonds, and astronomical phenomena, but there's room for improvement in specific terms and processes.

Gaza is on the verge of a new tragedy that is being repeated before our eyes, as the cold weather intensifies day after day, and in the coming hours, it will face a harsh wave of heavy rains that will turn the suffering of its people into a real disaster. The fragile tents that house thousands of displaced people are threatened with flooding, and the dilapidated homes may collapse on the heads of their residents. Even the sea, which was once a refuge, may turn into a danger that will flood the tents and displace those who remain steadfast. Innocent children are facing death by cold, These are not just numbers or statistics; they are lives seeking survival. It is time to help before Gaza becomes a graveyard. Let us act now, because every minute that passes means more suffering and more lives lost.
The assertion that the concepts of civilization, a rule-based international order, and human rights have been revealed as illusions over the past 15 months touches on several complex and debated issues in contemporary global discourse.
Civilization: The notion of civilization as a singular, cohesive entity has been questioned, especially in light of recent global events. Some argue that the veneer of civility often masks underlying conflicts and power dynamics. Recent conflicts and political upheavals have led to discussions about whether the idea of a "civilized" world order is an illusion when the reality shows persistent issues like war, corruption, and social injustices. This perspective suggests that civilization, often portrayed as a pinnacle of human achievement, might be more of an ideal than a reality, especially when facing crises.
Rule-Based International Order: The concept of a rule-based international order is fundamentally challenged when major powers seemingly bypass international laws or norms for their geopolitical interests. Over the last 15 months, various actions by global powers, including vetoes in the United Nations Security Council, unilateral military actions, or economic sanctions that bypass multilateral agreements, have fueled debates about the efficacy and sincerity of this order. Critics argue that the international "rules" are often bent or ignored by powerful nations, rendering the system less about rules and more about power dynamics. This has led to a perception that the international legal framework might be more of an illusion when not consistently upheld.
Human Rights: The illusion of universal human rights is particularly contentious. The selective application of human rights norms, where some countries are criticized while others with similar or worse practices are not, has been highlighted in recent times. Events like the ongoing conflicts in various regions, where human rights violations are reported but responses from international bodies vary, have led to discussions on whether human rights are genuinely universal or if they remain contingent upon geopolitics and power. The inconsistency in addressing human rights abuses worldwide suggests to some that the commitment to human rights might be more rhetorical than practical, thus exposing an illusion.
These discussions are not new but have gained renewed vigor due to recent global developments, where the gap between the ideal and the reality has been starkly highlighted. The sentiment on platforms like X also reflects a growing cynicism about these illusions, with many posts questioning the integrity and application of these principles in the current geopolitical landscape.
In summary, while these concepts are foundational to much of international law and diplomacy, the past 15 months have intensified scrutiny on how well they are upheld in practice, leading to a broader questioning of their true nature and effectiveness.
Nonverbal Threat by Action - The 1946 British Embassy Bombing:
Historical Context: The bombing was carried out by Irgun, a Zionist paramilitary group, at a time when Britain was administering Palestine under a League of Nations mandate. This period was marked by increasing violence from both Jewish and Arab sides against British rule and each other.
Action as Message: This attack can be seen as a nonverbal threat because:
Demonstration of Capability: It showed that these groups could and would carry out attacks beyond Palestine, specifically on European soil, against significant symbols of British authority.
Intimidation: By targeting a diplomatic mission, the message was clear: no place was safe from their reach, potentially pressuring international actors to reconsider their policies towards Jewish statehood.
Political Leverage: The act could be interpreted as a way to force the British and, subsequently, the UN to expedite their withdrawal from Palestine or at least to reconsider their stance due to the threat of further violence.
Implications for the UN:
Influence on Policy: While not the sole reason, the cumulative effect of such actions by Irgun and other groups contributed to an atmosphere where the British decided to refer the Palestine question to the UN, which took up the matter with the partition plan.
Global Perception: These actions were part of a broader campaign that painted the Zionist movement in different lights - as either a legitimate fight for independence or as terrorism, depending on the observer's perspective.
UN's Decision-Making: The UN's decision to propose partition and eventually recognize Israel in 1948 was influenced by many factors, including the violence against British forces, the Holocaust's aftermath, Cold War dynamics, and the need for a resolution to the Mandate's end. However, direct causality linking this specific bombing to UN decisions is complex and speculative.
Legal and Moral Considerations:
Defining Terrorism: At the time, these groups were seen by some as freedom fighters against colonial rule, while others labeled their actions as terrorism. The international understanding of terrorism was not as defined as it is today.
Impact on Civilians: Such acts, while aimed at political entities or military targets, often harmed civilians, complicating the moral narrative.
In summary, the bombing of the British Embassy in Rome by Irgun can indeed be viewed as a form of nonverbal threat or coercion, illustrating the lengths to which some Zionist groups were willing to go to achieve their goals. Whether this specific act directly influenced the UN's decisions is part of a broader, nuanced historical debate, but it certainly contributed to the tense atmosphere surrounding the end of British rule and the UN's subsequent role.
Do you know Hassan Hamad Hassan? He is a journalist who worked during the war. He filmed for many channels. Hassan is approximately 19 years old. He is one of the youngest journalists in the north. Hassan was bombed by the occupation army on the first day of the military operation in Jabalia. We only found pieces of his body. We did not have time to say goodbye to Hassan and we were not able to talk or grieve for him. Hassan was keen to reach every event and news despite his young age, but he saw and worked a lot. May God have mercy on you, Hassan
