Watch this… Hezbollah films itself firing rockets from civilian rooftops in southern Lebanon then cries foul when Israel strikes back. This Feb 6 2025 footage shows clear evidence of Hezbollah using civilian buildings as an operator on a residential building (concrete rebar solar panels typical of village homes) shouts “Bismillah… Allahu Akbar” before launching. Camera pans across nearby houses in the hills. This is the repeated tactic. Embed launchers in homes schools and civilian areas. Fire. Film for propaganda. When IDF targets the active site to stop more rockets the same voices condemn Israel for “attacking civilians.” Human shielding violates international law. It endangers Lebanese civilians by design turning their neighborhoods into battlegrounds. The world should condemn the terrorists who fire from behind civilians, yet instead they condemn the response that neutralizes the threat.

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.

Someone told them she was Jewish, so a mob of Muslim men tore her clothes off while they beat her with sticks and poles, using their hands to rape her over and over again. Still think they belong in the West?

EXCLUSIVE: Washington State Human Rights Commissioner Luc Jasmin goes on a tirade filled with antisemitic tropes, opposing a state resolution on antisemitism "This word, anti-Semitism, has been around since the Jews got trampled by Hitler & it seems like the Jewish people keep on crying & crying & crying & crying, always crying over the antisemitism." "And today, there are many other groups who are subject to mistreatment, or even subject to mistreatment by the Jewish."

BREAKING: Hamas and their police units in Gaza beat, maimed and publicly executed dozens of Palestinians according to a new detailed report. You won’t expect to see a word about this from so-called pro-Palestinians or their hundreds of non-profits.

Cenk Uygur? Silent. Mehdi Hasan? Silent. Ana Kasparian? Silent. Francesca Albanese? Silent. Greta Thunberg? Silent.

Half of the time, they didn’t even find anyone. Literally just a rumor was enough for people to get riled up enough to massacre hundreds or thousands of Jews.

Flotilla participant Juliet Lamont is still changing her story, as evidenced by her two latest interviews. Which is it? ▪️She could easily ID her rapist as the largest man or she couldn't discern anything, even what was supposedly inserted inside her? ▪️One said "Welcome to Israel. Are you enjoying this now?" during her ordeal or one said at the beginning "Welcome to Israel, Juliet. You are really going to enjoy this"? ▪️Her daughter was just beaten up or she was hit and 'syringed' ? ▪️Her daughter escaped rape because she was only number 2 in the progression or no explanation is offered as to why? With so many inconsistencies (including the previous ones) it is so obvious she is making shit up as she goes along. cc: @SenatorWong

It's interesting how Israel is America's enemy today because it killed 34 Americans by accident 60 years ago, but Japan is totally cool despite killing 107,903 Americans definitely on purpose 80 years ago. One wonders where is the cutoff point?

If you think it's bad that Israel pilots accidentally killed Americans 59 years ago in a single incident, wait until you hear about Iran's government murdering hundreds of Americans on purpos

At a Graham Platner rally in Portland. “Would an Israeli flag tattoo be a deal breaker?” “Honestly yeah, because I don’t support genocide.”

Palestinian “journalists” serve as human shields for Palestinian terrorists while they attack Israeli civilians and soldiers.

You really can't make this up. ITV News was in the middle of filming a report on antisemitism in Golders Green when one of the interviewees got a call from his daughter. She and her friends had just been targeted on a bus by boys shouting "Adolf Hitler," giving Nazi salutes, and telling the girls: "Hitler didn't manage to get you, but we will." What a sad state of affairs.

Waarom geloofden de media twee jaar lang Hamasstrijders vermomd als "journalisten" op hun woord? Waar was de basale kritische houding van de Nederlandse daadwerkelijke journalisten? De waarheid sterft in oorlog als eerste -- maar dit werd wel al te gretig rondgepompt

You suppressed the video of my Oxford Union debate for five months until I pressured you into finally releasing it.

IDF has ~170,000 active duty personnel. U.N. has ~131,000 staff. On an annual basis, that's about 1 assault for every 16,452 IDF soldiers, while at the U.N. it's 1 assault for every 173 staff. That is, using the U.N.'s own data, it is about 20x more rapey than the IDF.

The UN should blacklist the UN.

This one is too accurate 😭

Polish antisemites might be the only antisemites who aren’t holocaust deniers, which is kind of interesting I remember this conversation on /pol/ where people were going on about hating the Jews and it got to Holocaust denial and this Polish guy was like “wait, are you dumb? Where do you think they all went? My country had majority Jewish cities and now they’re all gone, which I’m not complaining about, but still”
