erm ok…let’s not be so tunnel vision focussed…
some examples
Trump has denied women access to abortion care not only in US but abroad too
Women and girls have died because of it
Look at the genocide he’s supported in Gaza - all the women and children who have died and suffered during this barbaric cleansing
As I said, this shit manifests in different ways

I have answered the original question and then defended it when you didn't agree with it. You want to think Trump is the worst human being alive, go ahead. I think it's the leader of Afghanistan where women can't get medical care, speak or sing in public, uncover their bodies or have any safety from rape or beatings and then men there just go along with it. Women have no rights there at all. We don't agree, that doesn't make tunnel vision focused.

I’m also adding Taliban leaders the cruelty of this regime is off the scale it’s tragic they came back in power

Donald Trump.

HRTQueen · Today 00:26

Mojtaba Khamenei Supreme leader of Iran

Netanyahu

Leaders of Hammas who bring nothing but misery for the people they claim to fight for

Putin comes close Trump imo not quite on their level but close

Except there was quite a lot more to the story. Anyone could sign up to that group without any qualifications (or evidence they were a real person and only a minority even voted on it (nor was there any investigation or evidence beyond their uninformed opinions (even experts need actual evidence). Had the BBC (and other reporters) done any due diligence we might have a chance at actually understanding what had happened.

Thank you for the link. Interesting and devastating in equal measure. What a sad state of affairs. Praying for Israel and Palestine.

If we take as read that the most evil person in the world is a man, who is the most evil woman? I think that has to be serial killer territory? Like Rose West?

"weren't" - correct. There's no way any of our leaders have this much cruelty towards women. These women can't even see a doctor, dentist, can't refuse to be raped, can't show any of their skin, can't speak in public.......there's no comparison.

Misogyny and violence and abuse of women and girls takes place in every country. Sure it can be more sadistic in some countries, but it manifests in different ways in different regions. It’s not like ‘Western’ countries weren’t this barbaric - just go back in time. I wouldn’t claim superiority in the west when we have Western ‘leaders’ like Trump and Netanyahu killing millions of people including women. Most people harmed by wars and attacks are women and children - same is happening right now in Gaza which western countries have enabled

I always think the Afghan regime is particularly terrible as women aren't allowed to see male doctors. But women aren't allowed to become doctors. Which means women aren't able to have proper medical care. This is half the population of a country in a world where modern medicine exists. Presumably the Taliban aren't husbands, fathers or brothers and none of them had a mother...

Exactly. Pure cruelty. They can't see a dentist or doctor. The hatred for women there is something hard to comprehend. And all the men there go along with it.

True! The BBC reports that the international association of genocide scholars say Israel has met the accusation of genocide. The truth is I don’t know but certainly the reportage from mainstream media makes whats going on seem horrific. If Israel is merely defending itself then they should open themselves up to war crimes investigations.

Just because it isn't a genocide, which has a very specific legal definition doesn't mean it's not a horrific war and that far too many innocent people are being killed and it doesn't mean Netenyahu and the IDF aren't committing war crimes. So just because people think it's not a genocide doesn't mean they think it's all fine and dandy. Hamas knew this would happen. They did it because other Arab countries were starting to make peace with Israel. They have stockpiled food in the tunnels in preparation for this and refused to allow Palestinians into the tunnels or to have access to food and safety. They are equally responsible for the destruction and death toll as they are doing nothing to prevent it, and are actively enabling more deaths. All in order to win a propaganda war where they are suddenly the poor oppressed heroes fighting for their land. They are all despicable.

SevenYellowHammers · Yesterday 19:35

@Toomuchtoooften I like your reasoning and I’d like to be convinced. I support a Jewish state and its right to defend itself.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but I’m not a gullible believer of everything the media says either- far from it! However, I can’t help but see the total destruction of Gaza. It’s not like Ukraine where there are bombed out buildings but somehow people are managing a semblance of everyday life (God bless them).

This is endless destruction: people living in the bare concrete shells of buildings. Then there’s the settlers moving in further and further with their caravans pushing Palestinians off their livelihoods.

I don’t believe Israel is the only country behaving dreadfully. I do believe there’s an unhealthy desire to condemn it.

The attack of 7th October was evil and despicable. BUT it seems to me that the wrong people (women, children and the vulnerable) are being wiped out as punishment .

There simply has to be a better way. If Netanyahu isn’t a war criminal he should explain himself. I feel as if we’re in a world of bully boys now. Trump’s behaviour empowers it.

Anyone naming Farage, Trump, Musk etc has absolutely no understanding of what evil really is.

You should consider yourself lucky to be so ignorant.

Who's your money on, then?

I assume they will once the war has ended. But if international law is to mean anything, all the evidence will need to be collected and due process has to be followed before judgment is given. I hope it is.

Maybe more evidence was to hand? There were NATO troops on the ground then and I believe UN peacekeepers. A lot of aerial evidence of mass graves etc. And I think the Serbs for example announced their intention to ethnically cleanse certain areas.

The UN was quick off the mark after the Bosnian conflict. Why so slow now?

I think Putin is the worst having directly caused the death and maiming of hundreds of thousands of people in a land grab to expand his country's borders.

I would say Xi Jingping of China comes in second having oppressed and killed thousands of his own people and ethnic minorities within China, largely without much protest from the rest of the world.

I think whether a genocide has been committed needs to be judged by a court using witness statements, expert evidence etc. It will take years to get such a legal judgement and obviously we can't predict what the court's finding will be.
