The full interview on Israel’s 10th anniversary of independence (April 12, 1958). Abba Eban gave it to ABC journalist Mike Wallace. Eban was serving as Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. and its permanent representative at the UN If you haven’t watched it, I highly advice you to

Gadi Eizenkot has overtaken Netanyahu on Polymarket 68% of bettors believe Netanyahu will be replaced

They’re not Israeli, and this is 6 years ago, but these people will literally take anything bad people did, slap “Israeli” on it, and run the bullshit machine youtu.be/fE5MUAidj4w?si=0Re9…

For those who haven't been following -- and nobody's been following because nobody cares, least of all the journalists' NGOs -- Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been steadily releasing death notifications for one "journalist" after another, listing them invariably as fighters and commanders in the organizations' ranks. It's dozens now. Maybe more. But the "Israel targets journalists" meme is forever. The facts will never penetrate the thick fog of ideological confirmation bias that has overtaken the NGO and activism world and its journalistic arms in the mainstream media. Literally no one cares about whether journalists were actually hunted down by Israel, as it was depicted by @pressfreedom and others, or whether Hamas used fake "journalist" claims to protect combatant commanders, counting on a global NGO and media ecosystem it knew was looking to confirm its biases. No one will examine these falsehoods or report on them in a visible way because no one cares about the wellbeing of the real journalists, who are desperately endangered when combatant commanders are labeled "journalists" -- and even the world's major journalist advocacy groups decide to play along.

🔥🚨LATEST: Footage has released of the moment the 21-year-old woman was accidentally killed when Entre Cordas workers forgot to attach her safety rope and and threw her off the the “Skeleton Bridge” in Limeira, a city in Brazil’s São Paulo state.

Tankies and commies thinking Elon Musk has $1,000,000,000 in cash that they can pocket if liquidate his businesses and share the money, will forever be funny 😂 Also, killing his businesses will put thousands of people and their dependents out of work and beyond the poverty line

*proceeds to occupy third of Cyprus and constantly threaten Greece with war

If the OJ analogy included a group of Klansmen surrounding OJ carrying machetes and braying for his death, and one had already stabbed him in the knee, and the one who had stabbed him was hiding behind the woman he stabbed, then this metaphor might work. And then, yeah, Black Americans might’ve been justified in rallying behind him. If your moral system can’t see the murderous forces arrayed against the Israelis, your moral system can’t judge them. It doesn’t matter how long and how often and how loudly the muqawama axis calls for and arms for Israel’s death, or how often it actually attacks Israelis, or how explicitly eager it is to seek mass-martyrdom for its own population — the bigots will only ever see Israeli agency and Arab innocence.

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.

The IAEA announced this month that it has effectively lost track of approximately 200 kg of enriched uranium. Not only that — it is unable to calculate how much additional uranium has been enriched since the cameras were disconnected. Any agreement with Iran, even if partial dilution of the uranium in Isfahan is carried out, will still leave Iran with enough material for a bomb.

UNWRA's chronic dysfunction perfectly summed up in a picture used in an article about the Palestinian Authority manipulating aid. Evidence suggests the individual collecting UNRWA aid is Hamas commander Majed al-Hadidi. If true, why is UNWRA giving aid to a Hamas commander?

You wouldn’t believe who made that manhole in Haifa

Hahaha, @Grok changes the nationality of @jnbarrot once you press “translate” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wenn die Mitgliedsstaaten der EU zulassen, dass Frau Kallas Woche für Woche durch unbedarftes Gerede die Europäische Außenpolitik diskreditiert, werden wir einen schweren Rückfall in nationale Alleingänge erleben, der Europa in der Welt schwächt. Ihre jüngsten antisemitischen Ausfälle sind inakzeptabel. Wir brauchen ein stärkeres Europa mit Persönlichkeiten, die ihrem Amt gewachsen sind.

HOW DID FAUDA’S LIOR RAZ RESPOND? Asked whether Fauda would become “more sympathetic” to Palestinians after criticism from Palestinian activists and outlets like The New York Times... @lioraz

The US govt spends $7 trillion every year and they don’t solve shit.

The biggest mistake David Ben-Gurion made was calling the new state Israel. If he had kept the name Palestine, all the idiots of the world would have understood that every single thing that was made in Mandatory Palestine was made by Jews.

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and the rest aren’t dumb enough to actually think Elon Musk has a trillion dollars in cash waiting to be taxed. They just think their followers are dumb enough to think that. And they are.

Shalom Mahmoud, didn't you use to work for UNRWA? They just fired 70 terrorists in Gaza, so when you get deported, at least you know there's a job waiting for you.
