Rolla Peace News April 16, 2024 |
Dear Friends:Editor's notes:In this newsletter is: 1. THE MISFIT MATHEMATICIAN (Tom's column, http://tomsager.org) a) Gaza: Computer-Assisted Genocide b) Gaza: Never Seen Such Cruelty Before c) Gaza: Attack on Humanitarian Aid-Workers d) Iran May Have Saved the Lives of Thousands of Children in Gaza e) Russia Tells Israeli Ambassador: No !#$%&! Way f) Meanwhile: Turning Up the Heat Gaza: Computer-Assisted Genocide The Israeli military has been using computer-generated attack lists in Gaza with an admitted error-rate of 10%. For some targets, up to 100 collateral civilian casualties per target are considered an acceptable ratio. Targets are often bombed at home, sometimes wiping out entire extended families. 14,000 children have been murdered in the Israeli onslaught, and that is probably an under-estimate. I apologize to everyone, particularly Palestinians, for the part I played in developing this genocidal computer technology. Gaza: Never Seen Such Cruelty Before Two surgeons from the United States, Feroze Sidhwa and Mark Perlmutter, who have returned from working at the European Hospital in Gaza remarked that as humanitarian surgeons they thought they had seen it all, but they had never before witnessed such cruelty as they encountered in Gaza. Gaza: Attack on Humanitarian Aid-Workers Israel has apologized for murdering seven celebrity aid workers from World Central Kitchen; but has nothing to say about the murder of at least 217 other humanitarian aid workers in Gaza. Iran May Have Saved the Lives of Thousands of Children in Gaza CNN reports that in the wake of Iran's drone and missile counter-attack on Israel, Israel has postponed its planned assault on Rafah this week. Apparently, Iran has accomplished what neither the United Nations, the United States nor any other country could. But don't expect any of the above to thank Iran. Diplomatic Missions are by international law considered extra-territorial land. Thus Israel's attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria was equivalent to an attack on Iranian soil; and Iran's counter-attack was justified under international law. Russia Tells Israeli Ambassador: No !#$%&! Way The Israeli ambassador has asked Russia to denounce the Iranian drone and missile counter-attack on Israel. Russia responded: Where was Israel when The Ukraine attacked civilians in Russia? Russia Today estimated that it cost Israel ten times as much to defend against the Iranian counter-attack as Iran spent attacking. And, if they didn't already know, Palestinians now know who their friends are and who is just pretending. Meanwhile: Turning Up the Heat The 12-month running average of CO2 in the atmosphere increased by 0.37 ppm in March, the largest single monthly increase on record. And March witnessed the tenth month in a row of record-breaking heat. But who worries about climate collapse when there are wars to be fought?
