No, it isn't. I was using an example to explain my definition of China's firewall. It would have been whataboutism if I left the argument entirely solely to mention how the US is keeping Mexican immigrants in concentration camps.

Luckily unlike you and eight others, the mods here have common sense and can identify racism when they see it.

Freedom of expression is not freedom to be racist.

All countries will need to cross that bridge eventually, Brazil is more apt to this task than the USA for example.

Eat poop, Trump.

We must always be grateful to the EU for saving us from American tech giants. It's such a shame that America is on such terribly low moral ground in these matters.

Ignite hate?

I'm fighting AGAINST the ones spreading hate. Their posts were removed for being islamophobic.

 

AMHERST — Far-reaching implications of a travel ban on men imposed by the Ukrainian government shortly after the invasion last year, according to a new report from The Human Security Lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The ban, which applies to nearly 9.5 million civilian men aged 18 to 60 in Ukraine, has separated families, trapped college students and other nonresidents inside the country, and limited the freedom of movement of transgender women.

Russia’s war on Ukraine recently passed 500 days.

Among the report’s findings:

  • the ban leaves civilian men vulnerable to gender-selective massacres;
  • the policy is broadly unpopular among the Ukrainian public;
  • the travel ban is inconsistent with international human rights standards during wartime;
  • women, children and students are also adversely affected by the ban;
  • lifting or relaxing the ban could increase morale, reduce corruption, align Ukraine with Europe rather than with Russia and increase financial giving from abroad;
  • and that Ukrainians believe they can contribute to the war effort even if abroad.

The report is based on a comprehensive survey of more than 4,000 Ukrainian citizens, analyses of citizen comments on petitions to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urging him to lift the ban, and numerous consultations with experts and civil-society organizations.

 

Canadian leader reiterates opposition to illegal settlements and urges Netanyahu to seek consensus for judicial plan.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has expressed concern about Israel’s policies, saying that he has no immediate plans to invite his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu to the country.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Trudeau reiterated Canada’s opposition to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, which are illegal under international law.

“We recognise the violence going on right now. It is difficult for people across the region — both Israelis and Palestinians,” the Canadian prime minister said.

“We’re calling for de-escalation and peace and working through some of the flashpoints that are happening. Canada has a longstanding position that settlements and the settlement process is illegal. And we need to stand against that.”
