Sjefsanklager Khan har fått sparken fra ICC etter å ha blitt anklaget for seksuell trakassering. Mye tyder på at Khan brukte folkemordanklagen mot Israel som pressmiddel for å få offeret til å droppe anklagen. Dette er åpenbart ikke verdt trykksverte for norske aviser.

Hører Japan-fansen synge og mimrer tilbake til da jeg var på Japan-Kroatia i Nürnberg i 2006. Vært skap-Japan-fan siden.

Har aldri sett en dommer med så dårlig posisjonsforståelse.

Join me in once again calling for the resignation of @TheLancet editor Richard Horton. Publishing a petition calling for the boycott of the Israeli Medical Association is an absolute disgrace. Medicine should bring physicians together in service of patients, not weaponize professional organizations for political campaigns. Just as it failed the public on the #COVID19 origins debate, The Lancet is again positioning itself as a political actor rather than a medical journal.

HORRIFIC: Hamas militias are opening fire on civilians and kidnapping members of the Shuhaiber family in Tel Al-Hawa, Gaza — as women and children scream in the background. Hamas is a terrorist organization.

Yes, @mehdirhasan, we should ignore them. Each one failed to apply the legal standards as required. Amnesty: “However, its [ICJ] rulings on inferring intent can be read extremely narrowly, in a manner that would potentially preclude a state from having genocidal intent alongside one or more additional motives or goals in relation to the conduct of its military operations. As outlined below, Amnesty International considers this an overly cramped interpretation of international jurisprudence and one that would effectively preclude a finding of genocide in the context of an armed conflict.” B’tselem: “This report relies on a broader analytical framework…” The UN Commission of Inquiry did not assess reasonable alternative explanations. The only mention of Hamas’ tunnel infrastructure was to discount the tunnel under the European hospital that Mohammed Sinwar was killed in (and where he directed acts harmful to the “enemy” [e.g. Israel]). The International Association of Genocide Scholars (of which I’m a dues paying member) did not assess reasonable alternative explanations and discount them (which would defeat the only reasonable inference test). Human Rights Watch did not actually assess genocide, it said that they concluded acts of genocide without any assessment. And important to note: Amos Goldberg and Omer Bartov are historians who are not qualified to assess the legal elements of the crime of genocide. Citing to them is a logical fallacy of an appeal to authority that makes zero sense. Not a single accuser assesses the requirements of the Geneva Conventions, particularly GCIV 19 & 28, and API 51(7). Without understanding the implications of these articles one cannot conclude that the only reasonable inference is genocide. If each accuser refuses to apply the jurisprudence as it stands today to make their conclusion, the problem is that they have a predetermined conclusion, and that they are fitting an analysis to that conclusion. This is fundamentally flawed. So, yes, we should ignore all of them. If you must rely on a confirmation bias with fundamentally flawed analyses that are devoid of the legal analysis that is required today, without being honest about the shift in the jurisprudence that they all require, the problem here is you. I can state that Israel hasn’t committed genocide under the jurisprudence because I can measure alternative reasonable explanations for Israel’s conduct. None of your citations attempted to do this required analysis. Genocide is not what you want it to be to convict the Jewish state who had its people taken hostage and Hamas, PIJ, and even Palestinian civilians going door to door slaughtering innocent people because of their membership in either the Israeli or Jewish groups. The more we do this the more we excuse Hamas for its crimes (including genocide), hostage taking, sexual violence, etc. that it committed against the Israeli people, but also its crimes it has committed against the Palestinian people that purposefully inflicted higher incidental harm to them (human shielding, diversion, torture, persecution, murder, etc.). Mehdi so badly wants Israel to be guilty of the crime Hamas committed that he will excuse Hamas from culpability for its crimes against Palestinians that would fundamentally negate genocidal intent for Israel (as confirmed by a UN report this last week, by the way). Mehdi is an evil person, as are all those who portend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Hamas just so they can blame Israel.

Reminder that Doctors Without Borders spent two years at Nasser Hospital before admitting Hamas was using it as a terror base. During that stretch, the group refused to treat 20 Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid workers wounded by Hamas, leaving them to die in the courtyard

Jeg vil tro The Lancet er det eneste medisinske tidsskriftet mange ikke-medisinere har hørt om. Det er et navngjetent organ, og med rette. Men i våre dager er det en tanketom, propagandistisk skygge av det det engang var. Det beste ville være å sparke hele redaksjonen.

Surely Canada barring an actual player from Ghana will spark the same amount of outrage from sports media that the US denying entry to the Somalian referee did, right?

Skjønner ikke hvorfor man skal lyve på seg en bachelorgrad. Hvis man først skal snakke usant, kan man like gjerne ta i litt ekstra. Burde gått for mastergrad, minst... Blir omtrent som å lyve på seg at man har klart å få Yatzy på to kast.

Interessant, og knusende artikkel. Nyere estimater tyder på at BNP er 6-8% lavere enn det ville vært uten Brexit. Vel verdt å ta inn over seg hvis man fortsatt mener at Norge bør gå ut av EØS.

Dear “Queers for Palestine” and friends, welcome to Tel Aviv Pride! A celebration of love, freedom, and diversity like this? You won’t find it in Gaza or anywhere in the Arab world. Enjoy the party. Enjoy the freedom. Enjoy being yourselves. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇮🇱

Read my article in Aftenposten today about the factory food pipeline in Norway. • 3 giants control 96% of Norway's food supply • How they're fined $470 million for coordinating prices • How the stores are different doors into the same system aftenposten.no/meninger/kron…

I once read in Tarikh al Tabari that after the conquest of Iran, rivers of Iranian blood were made to run. Back then, I dismissed it as an historical exaggeration. A river of blood sounded too vast for reality. Too cruel for the world. Too impossible for human hands. Then January came. ​And I witnessed with my own eyes the raw torrent of blood the terrorist Islamic Regime occupying Iran drained from the veins of this land’s own children. ​These were not invaders breaking through a foreign border. These were not strangers from a forgotten age. The sons of this soil. The daughters of this nation. The young, the brave, the nameless, the immortal. History was not exaggerating. It was warning us. And the warning returned wearing a turban, carrying a gun, and calling itself a republic.

Noe for @Aftenposten? @HCEkroll ?

Can someone explain to me how surrendering to the Islamic Republic of Iran is "America First" ?

Pleier å høre på the Dukes of September når jeg skriver epikriser (flere ganger i uken), så nå er alle Youtube-reklamene jeg får for stol-Tai Chi for menn over seksti.

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt. In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. 'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' (A.Frank)

Tel Aviv Pride, today. In one photo: Khamenei in a rainbow turban. In the next: marchers wearing Smotrich and Ben Gvir masks over shirts that need no translation. The same crowd, in the same hour, mocked the dictator whose missiles canceled this parade last year and the ministers who tried to defund it this year. No other street in the Middle East permits the first photo. No other movement in the region would risk the second. The pinkwashing argument doesn’t survive these photos. 📸: Moti Kimchi

A report compiled from over 430 witnesses, survivors, medical staff and experts reveals never-before-told horrors of the October 7 massacre. Women were stripped naked, bound, stabbed, shot, and burned alive. Many were executed during and after repeated rape. Heads were decapitated. Pelvic bones shattered. Sexual assaults continued even after death. In Kibbutz Be’eri, nails, sharp metal and plastic objects were driven into a woman’s body. Grenades were used on another victim. Men were also sexually assaulted, including at least one documented case of gang rape. The horrors of October 7 were worse than we imagined. Never forget. Never forgive. Never again.
