The death toll in Sudan's ongoing civil war is estimated to be significantly higher than previously reported, with studies suggesting that over 150,000 people may have died since the conflict began in April 2023. The majority of these deaths are attributed to violence, preventable diseases, and starvation, particularly affecting vulnerable populations in regions like Khartoum and Darfur.
Doesn't get as much attention because why? Muslim on Muslim? Brown on Brown? And yet it involves (unlike Gaza) systemic targeting of civilians based on ethnicity.
For starters Genocide is killing of people, targeted by ethnicity. Do you think that Israel are such bad shots that they can only manage to kill 2½% of Gazans (⅓ of them militants) while ⅔ of Jews were killed in the Holocaust?
ProPals like Ireland are trying to change the legal definition of genocide in order to make the false equivalence.
Aboriginals in custody prison are less likely to die than others (according to a Royal Commission) however they are way over-represented in the prison system in the first place. That is a much more complex problem which AFAIK is not abating unfortunately.
the highest they’d been since 1996 when 80% of Americans stated that they would live under an Islamic theocracy in exchange for a $50 gift card to Radio Shack.
From what I can tell, the average ABC worker is on the right side of this.
The average worker is Left wing and therefore agrees with Hamas' position. I am Left but often disagree with them on the Gaza issues. In fact their dodgy reporting on Al Ahli hospital early on lost them their credibility.
I have not seen any news organisation consistently report "fairly". The only example of even-handedness was a pair of entries from a blogger a couple of months into the war (probably still valid - let me know if it has dated)...
The Post is literally summarised here in my Lemmy feed with:
During the interview, Nasser
Mashni made a pointed remark that it was time 'for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea'
That could well be why the interview was pulled. One could argue whether that slogan is sinister or not. If sinister they could have aired it without the slogan (but some would argue against platforming someone with that view).
These are the actual issues it seems, certainly not whataboutism.
EDIT: Turns out this Crikey article is not paywalled (unlike most of Crikey). So I read it and platforming should not be an issue since it says the guy is a regular.
The closing paragraphs are:
Crikey received a statement from the ABC on Wednesday morning, a day after this story was published, which said the interview had been uploaded to the broadcaster's website and iview accidentally.
"The original content was done as a live-to-air interview as part of broader coverage and was not intended to be published as a stand-alone clip. It was mistakenly uploaded and when that was noticed it was taken down," a spokesperson said.
So he is calling for the elimination of Israel? Or is he calling for a one-nation state where a Palestinian majority will supposedly conduct a democracy without misogyny, homophobia ignoring the Hamas agenda to expel all Jews?
Am well aware there are a growing number of Jews with an agenda to expel all Arabs from Gaza. I wouldn't want ABC propagating sloganeering from them either.
What do you know... more train disruptions! From the Opal app:
Delays on the T1 and T9 train services as a result of an incident requiring emergency services at Artarmon. Consider catching Metro or buses.
Delays cascading on other lines but hopefully they stay minor.
Those points do not apply because there is no targeting.
UN clarifies that, in genocide, victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.
Why do you think Ireland is trying to expand the definition?
The Gallant quote is from 2 days after the October 7 attack.
Occupation of Gaza?

Obvious? You ignore the definition.
For starters Genocide is killing of people, targeted by ethnicity. Do you think that Israel are such bad shots that they can only manage to kill 2½% of Gazans (⅓ of them militants) while ⅔ of Jews were killed in the Holocaust?
ProPals like Ireland are trying to change the legal definition of genocide in order to make the false equivalence.
The survey author publishes in the Journal of Genocidal Studies. Hardly impartial so fingers crossed that he asked leading questions and the results are skewed. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/14623528.2025.2456321
Thanks
I hope it is a flawed poll along the lines of Yes Minister. We should all hope so.

I followed the instructions. I don't like those Arabic numerals so I used Roman instead.
Strange closing paragraph.
I had Covid last week (my 3rd bout) and it was milder than any cold. Hopefully it is like that for others.
I only bother RAT testing because I visit my elderly Mum daily.
Had 6 shots but last one was about 18 months ago.
Perhaps instead of Medicare Levy they should call it Medicare Insurance.

And since they went through the bother of "accidentally" uploading it, why did they go through the extra bother to remove it?
They play both sides. Am sure they have their own internal battles of which side to support since they do not seem consistent to me.

On TripView I can see all trains on T2 (far from T1 & T9) are running up to 40 minutes late or are cancelled.
In practice it doesn't matter much because they are still coming frequently, just out of timetable order.
Mine was a "stale" message, lazily copied from a Signal chat. Apologies. I think it was Pete Hegseth who said it.
