Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

To be clear: this is Biden's genocide that Trump inherited and Democrats overwhelmingly support. Israel is stuck firmly up America's ass, butchering babies while living expense free on stolen land on American tax payers' dime.
Same reason we don't prosecute any of the other war crimes.
Because international law is extremely difficult to enforce without causing an international conflict.
WW2 started because Germany invaded Poland and the UK said "Enough!". Was the UK wrong to start the conflict? They weren't attacked, or even under threat.
Yes. Enforcement means conflict.
The UK had a defence treaty with Poland though. Had this treaty not existed, the UK would've probably done nothing.
The UK didn't start the conflict, it was Germany who forced them to act or lose all trust in upholding international treaties.
International law is made of treaties. Enforcing treaties is enforcing international law. Doing so means conflict.
Of course the US had a defence treaty with Ukraine to convince them to give up their nukes. When Russia violated their borders the US did nothing....twice (2014 - Obama and 2022 Biden). So maybe they don't have any value more than the paper they're written on.
Nope, the treaty with Ukraine (purposefully) never specified consequences for anyone violating it. It only said (I'm paraphrasing here because I don't want to look it up) that the signatories will respect Ukraine's borders.
The US respects this treaty still and doesn't recognize Russia's claims to Ukrainian land. The lack of specified consequences for anyone violating it makes the treaty nearly worthless.
Signing "I will respect your border" is very much different from "I will defend your borders".
Because then Capitalism wouldn't exist.
What is this word prosecuted?
In this case, to bring legal charges against.
That’s a thing we do?
Against who? Trump? Putin? Netanyahu? Lmao
Laws are optional for kings.
Against the lower classes.
Crimes against the rich?
The worst crime in war, which is prerequisite to guilt for any other crime, is losing
Just responding to the headline prompt (which might be rhetorical) I almost feel like it might also be hard to "prove."
It's undeniably horrible and obviously deliberate, but when international conflict between powers is on the line, maybe it's more of a "soft weapon" to which the offender can point and go "Who's to say we directly caused their lack of food? Maybe we're just blocking trade that happens to be food because we don't get along lately? Sounds like their problem!"
Kinda like how how authoritarian capitalists love to exploit masses of people, then shove burdens like poverty, hunger, and a destroyed environment onto the back of the individual.
But this is after a ridiculously heinous chain of deliberate war crimes in a row observed the world over, and no prosecution is happening.
Starvation is a tool of Capital.
Our economies depend on the threat of starvation and homelessness, but too much makes people unruly, so we set limits.
Prosecuting war crimes are only followed or ignored by those with the biggest guns and bombs.
Unfortunately with smaller nations, it's understandable that those with lesser military strength might "strongly condemn" actions but not be willing to pay a massive cost if the bully says "Lol. Make me."
I'll take "Prosecutors are complicit" for 1000 Alex.
Because the privileged, who profit from the status-quo aren't suffering, so why would they tolerate any violation-of the status-quo?
( prosecuting white-collar-crime, XOR abuse-of-autority, simply won't ever happen under any establishment-regime, in proportion to the effect of the actual crime or abuse-of-authority:
Authority is a downward-chopping-axe, not the upright-double-edged-sword that the various statues of Justice pretend our world wields.
Gaslighting is the most-established "communication" establishment has formed the world with.
From the oligarchy/monarchy-is-best-for-the-masses of Adam Smith & Ronald Reagan, to the rule-of-legalism gaslighting about being rule-of-Just-law.
"There is no group so conservative as a group of radicals who just won rule of their own region." has too much truth in it.
Humankind doesn't have the SPINE to be loyal to objective-integrity, instead of being loyal to political/ideological motivation, according to the entire-ocean-of-evidence, does it? )

So why is it so rarely prosecuted?
