Five recommendations:
1️⃣ Guarantee #proportionality and #flexibility
2️⃣ Focus on general principles in risk reviews, align with #DSA

Foam projectiles fired into the crowd of #protesters littered the ground outside a downtown detention center where a crowd has been growing since the morning.
Tensions are escalating in one area of the protest, where a line of #LosAngeles #police officers are separating the crowd. “Love thy neighbor,” one protester yelled.

There are more press members than #protesters. The protesters are nowhere near the #NationalGuard physically. Yet #RubberBullets, #TearGas & #FlashBang #grenades.

AP:
Members of the #NationalGuard faced off w/ #protesters in #LosAngeles on Sun, & #TearGas was fired at a growing crowd that gathered outside a federal complex hours after the federal troops arrived in the city on #Trump’s orders.
The confrontation broke out in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in #LA, as a group of demonstrators SHOUTED INSULTS at the guard lined shoulder to shoulder behind riot shields.
Tear gas for insults.
A MSNBC reporter on the scene said the #NationalGuard fired the #TearGas when #protesters were only approaching them. Approaching. That’s it. No other provocation.

The principle of #proportionality is a #legal doctrine that requires any action taken by authorities, especially in the context of surveillance & #LawEnforcement, to be #proportionate to the objective being pursued.
#Law enforcement officers should use only the amount of force necessary to mitigate an incident, make an arrest, or protect themselves or others from harm.

#Trump just spoke to reporters. During questioning about what #NationalGuard #troops were authorized to do he said:
“If they spit, we hit.”
That is 100% NOT how law enforcement is supposed to respond.
The #UseOfForce is limited by #proportionality.

What recommended moral philosophy literature is out there regarding proportionality from an ethical perspective? I am familiar with discussions in just war theory (e.g. McMahan, Lee, Shue); what interesting stuff is there beyond this?

You are correct that they are not peers.
If Israel deploy the full force of their military against an opponent who are 90% weaker it violates #proportionality before you even look at the details.
Last time I checked #Qassam funding was about 3% of Israel's (and that was an Israeli source trying to make "Hamas" sound rich) and at the start of the war Qassam and #SarayaAlQuds combined were about 37,000 compared to half a million people in the #IDF

Technical #incompetence is measured in the unit [Aiwanger].
It's an inverse #proportionality. The more Aiwanger, the lower the #competence.
The #function tends towards zero.

Omer Bartov, a former soldier in the Israel Defense Forces and historian of genocide, wrote that by May 2024 “it was no longer possible to deny that Israel was engaged in systematic war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocidal actions”.
Palestinians displaced in Gaza: 1.9 million (90% of the population)
DW has quite a picture for this story. German mainstream discourse has certainly moved in 16 months. #proportionality #proportionalitat #gaza
"Although people tend to value loyalty as a moral virtue, it is possible that loyal people are disproportionately (and ironically) targeted for potentially harmful and unfair managerial practices in the contemporary workplace. Employing complementary methods and designs, we investigate whether and why loyalty could lead to deleterious consequences for those who are loyal."—Matthew L. Stanley, Christopher B. Neck, Christopher P. Neck [Journal of Experimental Social Psychology] >

What is clear is that as Israel decimates Gaza and kills tens of thousands of people, it is also attempting to recreate the norms of war-making and significantly transform interpretations of the laws of armed conflict.
If Netanyahu and his government succeed in rendering Israel’s version of #proportionality acceptable among other state actors, then the laws of armed conflict will end up justifying rather than preventing #genocidal violence.

“If you do something for long enough, the world will accept it. The whole of international law is now based on the notion that an act that is forbidden today becomes permissible if executed by enough countries.”
Colonel Daniel Reisner
In other words, the way we calculate #proportionality is not determined by some a priori moral edict but rather the norms and customs created by militaries as they adopt new and most often more lethal forms of war-making.

#Assange did not endanger anyone. He responsibly tried to clear information with the State Department before reporting on cables.
Assange once held up a sign saying
*transparency for the strong, privacy for the vulnerable*
much like Locke's principle that the duty of government is to protect the weak from the strong. Assange was a responsible journalist, not a criminal harassing, slandering, and endangering people. There is a big differnce between his principled acts and spin-nihilist blocktors genociding people. The Zionist Google ideology is false. They are who irresponsibly endanger people and destroy lives with surveillance.
I don't like unprincipled, greedy liars that prey upon the vulnerable.
