  • 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.
















  • Similar story: I went to bloom some dried chillies and black pepper for stir fry. Well, I used too much oil and waited too long so it got too hot. The spices aerosolized instantly, fumigating the kitchen. Then when, I put the meat in hoping to cool the pan down, hot spicy oil started aerosolizing and splattering every which way.

    And just the other day: while I was blanching some beef, I noticed that the burner knob was precariously balanced between between OFF and HI, so i nudged it to HI to make sure the water on kept boiling. Halfway through, I noticed that the plastic container I was setting the blanched beef into into was shrinking. Turns out that the knob I pushed to HI was actually for the burner under the cast iron pan that my container was setting on. Thankfully the wet beef kept the plastic cool enough to be just softened and wilty instead of melting to the pan.
