Has anyone else comes across the CCCP watches on ebay? Just search for that. Here is a bunch of images I saved. These are really cool watches. The main reason I haven't bought one yet is that I become wracked with indecision.

I don't have the attention span to be reading a lot about watches tbh but I did find some places that are discussing these if you do like that sort of thing.

• Russian watches | WatchUSeek Watch Forums
• [Raketa] Just bought this one - what are your thoughts on russian watches? : Watches
• The Best Russian Watches From The Soviet Union - Almost On Time

Oh and I will also note that many of these are available quite cheaply from refurbishers. A few of the below run hundreds but they are primarily well below US$100. Many are below $50 and a few below $30.

it was poorly considerd

I just thought about the song Bella ciao so I looked it up and there are a tonne of new (new to me) versions. Its popular around the world. I don't know the details of any of these. Are they chill? Here is a random assortment of versions. Would love to know the favorite of anyone else.

I was on ali express and I saw this review. Below are all the memes which were included in the review of the item. Which I guess is a part for a game controller. What is it about? The original comment is

Tudo certo. Recomendo. Cuidado o Nine vai lhe taxar. Fez o L? Toma 92%. Se ficar P é pior tá ok?

And the machine translated in english is

All right. I recommend it. Careful the nine will tax you. Did the l? Makes 92%. If staying p is worse ok?

All the documents relating to this case are on its ICJ webpage

@aaro@hexbear.net provided an overview in the comments

The full text of the operative clause of the Order reads as follows: “For these reasons, THE COURT , Indicates the following provisional measures:

(1) By fifteen votes to two, The State of Israel shall, in accordance with its obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular:

(a) killing members of the group;

(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and

(d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

[...]

(2) By fifteen votes to two, The State of Israel shall ensure with immediate effect that its military does not commit any acts described in point 1 above;

[...]

(3) By sixteen votes to one, The State of Israel shall take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip;

[...]

(4) By sixteen votes to one, The State of Israel shall take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip;

[...]

(5) By fifteen votes to two, The State of Israel shall take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of Article II and Article III of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide against members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip;

[...]

(6) By fifteen votes to two, The State of Israel shall submit a report to the Court on all measures taken to give effect to this Order within one month as from the date of this Order.

omissions by "[...]" are just the names of each judge and whether they approved or dissented.

Summary of the ways Israel is still not allowed to do genocide:

1. Israel must take all measures to prevent any acts that could be considered genocidal - killing members of a group, causing bodily harm, inflicting conditions designed to bring about the destruction of a group, preventing births
2. Israel must ensure its military does not commit any genocidal acts
3. Israel must prevent and punish any public comments that could be considered incitement to commit genocide in Gaza
4. Israel must take measures to ensure humanitarian access
5. Israel must prevent any destruction of evidence that could be used in a genocide case
6. Israel must submit a report to the court within one month of this order being given

This was after reading into the official record a litany of evils which they seem to be accepting as undisputed facts.

At South Africa v. Israel (Genocide Convention) - Wikipedia:

A request that this article title be changed to South Africa's genocide case against Israel is under discussion. Please do not move this article until the discussion is closed.

Edit: Someone with a wikipedia account please link them to the ICJ page which is titled "Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel)"

It is useful to compare the order that was requested vs the one that was provided. I don't find the text of the ICJ ruling available yet, maybe it will be posted here when it is ready.

They basically said about 6 different ways that Israel has to refrain from genocide, stop genocide, etc, but not "ceasefire".

Transcript of South Africa's submissions regarding provisional measures:

22. If any military operation, no matter how carefully it is carried out, is carried out pursuant to an intention to destroy a “people”, in whole or in part, it violates the Genocide Convention and it must stop. That is why all military operations capable of violating the Genocide Convention must cease.

(And Transcript of Israel's submissions regarding provisional measures in case you want to check something there.)

On the live stream at aljazeera.com: "People here are disappointed, but not surprised." And anticipating an escalation in violence.

Highly anticipated ruling over

The reading of the ruling has now ended.

The ICJ demanded Israel, among others, to try to contain death and damage in the Gaza Strip but stopped short of ordering a ceasefire.

The judge is making SA's case better than they did.

The person who is holding it is really indecisive about where it should go and keeps pulling it out of view.

Text reads "Don't stop talking about Palestine"

Unusual view of a watermelon and not one I've seen before in the context of Palestine.

Edit: I guess Al Jazeera also thinks it is a great sign because they're really highlighting it. So I replace the original with a better screenshot.
