In Iran, Kurds and other ethnic minorities suffer from systemic attempts by the state to limit their autonomy and forcefully assimilate them into Iranian culture. Any attempts by the Kurdish civil society to express grievances, participate in peaceful movements are met with violent crackdowns.

Britain rejected atrocity prevention plans for Sudan despite intelligence warnings that the city of El Fasher would fall in a wave of ethnic cleansing and possible genocide, according to a report seen by the Guardian newspaper. They are responsible. We are ALL responsible.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia is accused of committing genocide in Darfur in western Sudan, in its civil war with Sudan's government. The RSF is armed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a western ally which receives huge arms supplies from France, the US, the UK, and others.

The Turkish government issued arrest warrants for genocide against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 36 other senior Israeli officials in its war on Gaza since October 2023.
The statement also refers to Gaza’s Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, built by Turkey and bombed in March.

War crimes and genocide in Sudan – we hear and read about this today, but where was our attention for the past two years of this mass atrocity? The world has stood by and watched while millions are dead, displaced, violated, and starving. We only act when people and places are more like us.

The International Court of Justice, ICJ, has had a sharp rise in genocide cases.

Ukraine v Russia, 2022
South Africa v Israel, 2024
Sudan v. UAE, 2024
Nicaragua v Germany, 2024
Genocide is over and over and over again.

World Without Genocide began in 2006 to raise awareness about genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region. That year we gave 34 talks – at universities, faith organizations, Rotary clubs, libraries. Darfur is still a place of tragedy - thousands more dead, displaced, starved, tortured. We failed them.

I’ve seen true wonders in the world: Petra in Jordan, the Great Wall of China, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, other UNESCO heritage sites. But these miracles are endangered by the climate crisis. Stone and wood are eroding, while funding and conservation tools can’t keep up. We’re losing unique treasures.

Of 1.1 billion people living in poverty globally, 80% are exposed to climate hazards of heat, flooding, drought, or air pollution, says the UN. Poverty is linked with planetary pressures and instability. To address global poverty, we must confront the climate risks endangering 900 million people.

Banking giant BNP Paribas found liable for genocidal atrocities against Black Africans in Sudan, 2002-2008. $20 million awarded to 3 plaintiffs. More than 20,000 Sudanese in the US can seek billions more. Historic human rights victory - global banks are responsible for facilitating regime violence.

S African President Cyril Ramaphosa said the Gaza ceasefire would not affect his country’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. South Africa filed the case in 2023.

The ICJ has ordered Israel to prevent genocide and allow aid into Gaza.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced on Oct. 10 that California, with Massachusetts, are the first US states to join the International Union for Conservation of Nature. While Trump wages war on science and engages in climate denialism, California commits to protect the planet locally and globally.

The International Criminal Court found Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman, aka Ali Kushayb, Janjaweed leader, guilty of 27 counts of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur for murder, torture, rape, and persecution.

Sentencing will be imposed and victim reparations will be determined soon.

Trump’s speech to those generals was incited violence against fellow Americans and no more constitutional rights. Trump has militarized municipal and state police and has co-opted the courts, like Hitler in the 1930s: the path to a police state with unrestrained power for an authoritarian leader.

Since January, Trump has cut science funding: $1 billion-National Science Foundation, $4.5 billion-National Institute of Health, thousands of scientist and staff jobs at the CDC, EPA, and NOAA.
Next year will be worse: NSF budget slashed by 57%, NIH by 39%, NASA 24%. We will be dumber and sicker.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day. In Trump’s first 100 days, he slashed millions of dollars for Indigenous peoples’ environmental work, cut jobs in the Indian Health Services and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. More than $350 million is out for schools, health, and housing. He’s making war on Indians.

Coffee and wine – favorite drinks of billions of people. But experts tell us that the climate crisis will likely destroy 70% of the world’s coffee production by 2050. And the wine industry is already being affected by hotter summers, with weaker flavors and unpredictable concentrations of alcohol.

Two years ago, Hamas attacked Israelis at a music festival, killing 1,200 people and abducting 250 others. The Israeli military invaded Gaza in retaliation, creating a humanitarian catastrophe. We mourn the loss of lives, devastation of social and natural environments, and widespread antisemitism.
