It's sort of like what happens when you starve too many people worldwide like now?
There is a European saying: "Without food for three days the people begin to revolt!"
This is a true saying by the way if you study people worldwide.
Even when I was in the hospital and allowed only Chicken broth, Jello and fruit juices for 4 or 5 days I was pretty upset by the 3rd day because my mind wasn't working that well any more.
However, I'm unlike many people in that I chose to do a spiritual praying 4 days with no food or water fast in 1983. So, I don't panic if I don't get food or water at all generally speaking because I have already been without food or water on purpose for 4 days and know what that can do to a person on all levels.
However, most people are ignorant of what fully happens to a person or (can happen) to a person without food even for a week or so.
However, by 3 days even ignorant people are going to be angry and ready to do whatever they can to get food and water.
This is the danger worldwide now of people rising up and stealing enough food to survive even one more day.ly wil
When people are desperate enough they will literally do anything to survive!
I was surprised for example, what my body does when it is desperate to stay alive.
My son says a human body will do whatever is necessary to stay alive no matter what!
I have observed this in myself when I almost froze to death in 1970 in a snow cave we dug because of a white out. We were the only ones not to lose fingers or toes or our lives at that altitude or above during that white out storm by the way then in 1970.
So, I know a little about what someone can go through at least in regard to almost freezing to death under very difficult conditions.
However, I think the biggest problem with being an American right now is we are very spoiled.
We are like lobsters put into a pot.
If the pot was hot we would jump out.
However, Trump put us in Cold water and then turned on the burner so there likely be no one point where we will jump out of the Hitler pot he has put all Americans in.
The two I'm most familiar with are Gaza and Ukraine. Putin in Ukraine by shutting off power through drones and drones hitting moving passenger trains is genociding the civilian population of Ukraine trying to extinguish the Ukrainian culture forever just like the Chinese are trying to extinguish Uyghurs for years and years and to re-educate their children when they don't kill them. China feels very threatened by the Muslim Uyghurs because China wants no religion of any kind inside of China. Only the Chinese Federal government is allowed to be worshipped like a God in China.
Some scholars argue that the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide should state that mass rape is a genocidal crime.[21] Other scholars argue that genocidal rape is already included in the definition under article two[Note 1] of the convention.[19][22]Catharine MacKinnon
argues that the victims of genocidal rape are used as a substitute for
the entire ethnic group, that rape is used as a tool, with the target
being the destruction of the entire ethnic group.[23]
Siobhan Fisher has argued that forced impregnation
and not the rape itself constitutes genocide. She says, "Repeated rape
alone is still 'just' rape, but rape with the intent to impregnate is
something more."[11][24]
Lisa Sharlach argues that this definition is too narrow because these
mass rapes should not be defined as genocide based solely on those raped
having been forcibly impregnated.[11]
Per the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1820 (declared on
2008) rape and other forms of sexual violence can constitute war crimes,
crimes against humanity or a constitutive act with respect to genocide.[25]
According to Amnesty International,
the use of rape during times of war is not a by-product of conflicts
but rather a pre-planned and deliberate military strategy.[26]
In the last quarter of a century, the majority of conflicts have
shifted from wars between nation states to communal and intrastate civil wars.
During these conflicts the use of rape as a weapon against the civilian
population by state and non-state actors has become more frequent.
Journalists and human rights organizations have documented campaigns of genocidal rape during conflicts in former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Liberia, Sudan, Uganda, and during the civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[27]
The strategic aims of these mass rapes are twofold. The first is
to instill terror in the civilian population, with the intent to
forcibly dislocate them from their land.[Note 2][28]
The second is to degrade the chance of possible return and
reconstitution by having inflicted humiliation and shame on the targeted
population and to decrease social cohesion of a targeted group.[27] Targeted rape has also been used to force those who might resist genocide into submission.[29]
These effects are strategically important for non-state actors, as it
is necessary for them to remove the targeted population from the land.
Rape as genocide is often used for campaigns which involve ethnic cleansing and genocide, as the objective is to destroy, or forcefully remove the target population, and ensure they do not return.[27]
One objective of genocidal rape is forced pregnancy, so that the
aggressing actor not only invades the targeted population's land, but
their bloodlines and families as well. However, those unable to bear
children are also subject to sexual assault. Victims' ages can range
from children to women in their eighties.[30][31]
Armin Wegner's
description: "the Armenian women and girls are generally very
beautiful. Looking at you is the dark [and] beautiful face of Babesheea
who was robbed by Kurds, raped, and freed only after ten days; like a
wild beast the Turkish soldiers, officers, soldiers, and gendarmes swept
down on this welcome prey. All the crimes that had ever been committed
against women, were committed here. They cut off their breasts,
mutilated their limbs, and their corpses lay naked, defiled, or
blackened by the heat on the fields."[32]
Rape was widespread during the Armenian Genocide,
which was committed by the Ottoman Turks. During the death marches of
Armenian civilians through Anatolia in 1915, Turkish soldiers frequently
raped and killed Armenian women and children. In many cases, Turkish
and Kurdish civilians also participated in these crimes.[33]
Turks took Armenian women and girls into sexual slavery or forced them
into marriage. Those women forced into marriage also had to convert to
Islam.[34]
Some perpetrators believed that women and girls could be successfully
assimilated into Muslim Turkish culture, unlike men and boys.[35]
After the genocide ended, women and girls who had been forced into
marriage often could not return to their former lives. They had no
family left, no source of income, or otherwise feared the stigma of
having married a Turk.[36]
Additionally, Turks publicly raped the wives, daughters, and other
female relatives of important Armenian men. In addition to dehumanizing
the victims, these targeted rapes intimidated the Armenian leadership
into submission and dissuaded them from resisting.[29]
Some Armenian women and girls were sold as sex slaves. The Turkish
soldiers stripped them naked and displayed them at auction. Their nudity
in a conservative society served to further dehumanize them and strip
them of agency. Many were forced into marriage or prostitution.[37]
During the Greek genocide,
another of the late Ottoman genocides, Turkish troops and civilians
abducted Greek village women and raped them for hours or days. Turkish
villagers raped one woman for eight days in a row; she died soon after.
One man, who protested the violation of his wife, was sodomized.[38] In the Pontos region, bands of brigands led by Topal Osman went from village to village, plundering, raping women, and killing at will.[3]
As in the Armenian genocide, it was common for Turkish troops to kill
the men and rape the women; the women often died later during the long
marches to Syria. Massacres were especially prevalent along the Black
Sea coast while the Russians invaded
and the Turkish troops fell back. In one Pontic village, dozens of
women and girls leapt into a river to avoid rape. Turkish troops rounded
up women at Vazelon Monastery, a Greek Orthodox monastery, and raped them before killing them..[39] Many women and girls were also raped during the death marches to Syria.[4]
During Sayfo,
or the Assyrian genocide, Turkish soldiers followed the same pattern:
they massacred the young men and deported the women, children, and
elderly. Many women were raped during deportation or sold to Muslim
civilians as sex slaves.[40] Women were abducted and forced to convert to Islam.[41] In Urmia,
which had a large Assyrian population before the genocide, both Turkish
and Kurdish civilians raped or abducted Assyrian girls.[42] In one village, perpetrators subjected girls as young as eight to rape;[43] in another, girls as young as six or seven who had been hiding on a rooftop were raped.[7] Many rape victims later died. Turkish irregulars raped some women as they were dying.[44]
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), it is estimated that in 2011 alone there were 400,000 rapes.[45]
In the DRC, genocidal rape is focused on the destruction of family and
communities. An interview with a survivor gave an account of gang rape,
forced cannibalism of a fetus taken from an eviscerated woman, and child
murder.[46]
During the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, members of the Pakistani military and supporting Bihari and Razakar militias raped between 200,000[47] and 400,000[48]
Bangladeshi women in a systematic campaign of genocidal rape. Some
women may have been raped as many as eighty times in a night.[49]
In the ongoing Darfur genocide, the Janjaweed militias have carried out actions
described as genocidal rape, with not just women, but children also
being raped, as well as babies being bludgeoned to death and the sexual
mutilation of victims being commonplace.[50]
A large portion of these rapes were systematized in a process
where soldiers would search door-to-door for young girls, with many
women taken captive and gang raped.[53] The women were often killed immediately after being raped, often through explicit mutilation[54]
or by stabbing a bayonet, long stick of bamboo, or other objects into
the vagina. Young children were not exempt from these atrocities, and
were cut open to allow Japanese soldiers to rape them.[55]
On 19 December 1937, the Reverend James M. McCallum wrote in his diary:[56]
I know not where to end. Never I have heard or read such
brutality. Rape! Rape! Rape! We estimate at least 1,000 cases a night,
and many by day. In case of resistance or anything that seems like
disapproval, there is a bayonet stab or a bullet ... People are
hysterical ... Women are being carried off every morning, afternoon and
evening. The whole Japanese army seems to be free to go and come as it
pleases, and to do whatever it pleases.
During the
Rwandan genocide, the violence took a gender specific form, with women
and girls being targeted in a systematic campaign of sexual assault. It
is estimated that between 250,000 and 500,000 were victims of rape.[57][45]
Those who survived the genocidal rape found themselves stigmatised, and
many also discovered that they were infected with HIV. This has
resulted in these women being denied their rights to property and
inheritance as well as their employment chances being restricted.[58] The first woman charged and convicted for genocidal rape was Pauline Nyiramasuhuko.[59]
In 1996, Beverly Allen wrote Rape Warfare: The Hidden Genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia
in which the term genocidal rape was first introduced, she used the
term to describe the actions of the Serbian armed forces who had a
policy of rape with the intention of genocide.[60] In her book she compares genocidal rape to biological warfare.[61] During the conflict in Bosnia
Allen gave a definition of genocidal rape as "a military policy of rape
for the purpose of genocide currently practiced in Bosnia-Herzegovina
and Croatia by the Yugoslav army the Bosnian Serb forces and the
irregular Serb forces known as Chetniks".[62]
Coverage of the mass rapes during the ethnic cleansing
carried out by the Serbian forces in the 1990s began the analysis over
the use of rape as a part of genocide. Catharine MacKinnon argues that
the mass rapes during the conflict "were a simultaneous expression of
misogyny and genocide", and argues that rape can be used as a form of
extermination.[Note 3][11][63]
The acts of violence which were committed against women during the Partition of India have also been cited as examples of genocidal rape. Dyan Mazurana et al argued that the "patterns of rape and sexual violence carried out [in the Tigray War] by the ENDF, the EDF and Amhara
regional militia and special forces against Tigrayan civilians are
consistent with acts of genocide, potentially conducted with the intent
of destroying the Tigrayan people."[64]
"It
is also rape unto death, rape as massacre, rape to kill and to make the
victims wish they were dead. It is rape as an instrument of forced
exile, rape to make you leave your home and never want to go back. It is
rape to be seen and heard and watched and told to others: rape as
spectacle. It is rape to drive a wedge through a community, to shatter a
society, to destroy a people. It is rape as genocide"
