TTCT – Sau 3 tháng, về mặt số liệu, chiến tranh tại Gaza đã lọt hàng top những thảm họa trên thế giới trong thế kỷ 21.

Xin so sánh với chiến tranh tại Ukraine, tuy đây không phải là một cuộc thi hoa hậu. Dân số Gaza là 2,3 triệu và dân số Ukraine là 43,8 triệu, tức gấp 19 lần. Các số liệu ở Gaza là từ 7-10-2023 cho đến 10-1-2024 (3 tháng), còn ở Ukraine là từ 24-2-2022 đến 24-9-2023 (19 tháng).

An Unholy Alliance: Monks and the Military in Myanmar

~ Phạm Thu Hương ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Al Jazeera English – 19-3-2019

With almost 90 percent of Myanmar’s population being devoted Buddhists, the religion has been at the heart of the nation’s very identity for centuries.

But while the pillars of Buddhist teachings are love, compassion and peace, there is a very different variation to the philosophy being taught at the Ma Ba Tha monastery in Yangon’s Insein township.

The monks there are connected to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, the systematic persecution and genocide of the Rohingya in Rakhine state.

Al Jazeera’s unprecedented access to the Ma Ba Tha monastery and its leaders offers a glimpse into how their ultra-nationalist agenda is becoming the blueprint for the political structure of the country. Is the joining of forces between monks and generals threatening Myanmar’s young and fragile democracy?

Genocide

Background

The word “genocide” was first coined by Polish lawyer Raphäel Lemkin in 1944 in his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. It consists of the Greek prefix genos, meaning race or tribe, and the Latin suffix cide, meaning killing. Lemkin developed the term partly in response to the Nazi policies of systematic murder of Jewish people during the Holocaust, but also in response to previous instances in history of targeted actions aimed at the destruction of particular groups of people. Later on, Raphäel Lemkin led the campaign to have genocide recognised and codified as an international crime. Tiếp tục đọc “Genocide, Crimes against Humanity, War Crimes, Ethnic Cleansing” →

A person so blatantly affiliated with genocide should not carry the title “Nobel Peace Prize laureate”.
