    Sound pretty clear to me. And if you include the context of each sentence, before and after, I don’t see how much clearer it could get.

    He said that the UN had failed to prevent previous genocides against the Tutsis in Rwanda, Muslims in Bosnia, the Yazidi in Iraqi Kurdistan and the Rohingya in Myanmar and wrote: “High Commissioner we are failing again.

    “The current wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people, rooted in an ethno-nationalist colonial settler ideology, in continuation of decades of their systematic persecution and purging, based entirely upon their status as Arabs … leaves no room for doubt.”

    Mokhiber added: “This is text book case of genocide” and said the US, UK and much of Europe were not only “refusing to meet their treaty obligations” under the Geneva Conventions but were also arming Israel’s assault and providing political and diplomatic cover for it.

      You’re 100% correct. I was making a joke about the people saying otherwise. I did an edit, but it wasn’t fast enough to save you the time. Thank you for the correction.

          Better than Murphy’s Law, because when that one strikes Matthew Mcconaughey falls out of a higher dimensional bookshelf worm hole in your ceiling. He is not fun company and keeps telling you to “just roll with it.”

            Around here Murphy’s Law strikes as something like “After 1/2h writting a well though insightful comment, just before the the would be commenter presses ‘Reply’ he up/downvotes the parent comment, thus losing the entire text of his own not yet posted comment”

              Halloweens over and yet you come with the spookiness. You gave me a small shiver with that one. It felt all too familiar.
