Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza

Wonder why this made the frontpage when other political articles die.

Has the rules around political non technical articles changed? Can we get an Epstein thread for the frontpage sometime this week?

maybe because we are two years into an event that will define the early 21st century.

What about "there is war in the middle east, still/again" is remotely unique enough in the last century to be a defining moment of the half-century?

If an event has the potential to be that, it's the near-peer land war in Europe.

The current Israel/Gaza conflict is a blip that is mildly different in degree than the same thing that has happened every decade or so since Israel was created.

Not to this degree in the last few decades. But I feel you are overall correct, it's just that the Internet allows for much bigger coverage of the details of the horrors committed, and it's interesting how governments around the world now fail so completely to shape the narrative.
