Finland's government continues to be complicit to the ongoing genocide. And all the while, war crimes are stacking up faster than anyone can investigate them.

Let the records and history books state that we all have known, all this time, and our politicians actively chose to do nothing.

So much more should have been done so much earlier. But so much can yet be prevented by action now instead of later, now instead of never.

What will it take to finally do something? When?
We will not be able to claim that we had not realized what was happening. [5/5]

Now, the only red line left is the blood-soaked ground of Gaza, which the Israeli forces have long since transgressed.

Any action that may finally be taken will be too late for the thousands that have been killed, for the untold many that have been physically and mentally scarred for life. [4/5]

The writing has been on the wall for years. Access to water, electricity and food have repeatedly been blocked. Medical staff, journalists, civilians constantly and purposefully killed. These governments chose to tolerate the crossing of every red line that was drawn. [3/5]

Which is all the more reason to demand justice in the here and now, for the creation of this hell on earth.

I utterly despise the inaction of the European governments that allowed these genocidal atrocities to happen and continue. This suffering was preventable. They could have prevented it. [2/5]

Perhaps a greenfinch, though could be a wood warbler, chiffchaff, or however many other Phylloscopus species there may have been in medieval Flanders.

I assume these have to be green woodpeckers; the red on the head is so striking, and they're obviously not black woodpeckers, nor does it seem a logical depiction of any spotted woodpeckers, which should have plentiful black and white patterns.

That looks like a coal tit, not a great tit. (And I /could/ be convinced the third medieval bird below, with the less saturated colours, is actually a coal tit too, but black patterning (neck, throat) still resembles a great tit more overall, even if e.g. lacking the breast stripe.)

Ironic that the most dangerous actual epidemic unfolding under the Trump administration is, in fact, that of misinformation... Half malice, half ignorance; all incompetence, and fully unfit for the offices they hold.

Biology sees plenty nuance beyond some artificial binary m/f divide already - nature's all over the place; it's people who strictly categorize. But then, since when has proof mattered to those still ignoring evolution, climate change, etcetera? Those wilfully looking away will never see anything.
