Missed this before:
Anne Applebaum on journalists as legitimate targets, but only if they're Palestinian.
This will have emboldened Israel to expand the killing - to Lebanese, to Iranian, to western journalists too.

Not sure I'd give Menachem Rosensaft, genocide law professor, a pass either.
He glosses over the definition's "in whole or in part" and uses phrases like "undeniably accurate"to imply Israeli innocence.

Habermas, "The right thing to do, in life as well as in politics, is, roughly, what others most affected by your actions could agree to."
Hard to read that in the light of his green light for Israel to obliterate Gaza and Gazans.

Shema Yisrael prayer.
"your land"
Can't help thinking this is one of the foundations of the genocide.

"last month a senior Israeli security officer told Israeli journalists that figures compiled by health authorities in Gaza were broadly accurate, marking a U-turn after years of official attacks on the data"
As we have noted before, Israel lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and...
#Gaza2023
Reminder: the IGF and Israeli government lied about October 7th.
No evidence of rapes, no beheaded babies, no babies in ovens, and, after the Hannibal Directive, who was responsible for so many deaths ?
They _wanted_ to commit genocide.

"A large number of the October 7 victims were killed by Kalashnikov rifles"
A larger number were killed by a Israeli ordinance under the Hannibal Directive. Why does this never get mentioned?
#Gaza2023
Reminder of the mentality behind the genocide.
These kinds of things still go on.
The genocide did not begin on October 7th.
#Zionism
#Gaza2023
Genocide is enabled by "the widespread dissemination of fictitious atrocity propaganda dehumanizing Palestinian people, such as claims of mass rape, beheaded babies, infants hanging on a [line], a baby baked in an oven and other fabricated horrors"

Mass civilian massacre as part of a Hannibal Directive, 2014.
There is nothing about the current atrocities that Israel has not done before. The difference is only in scale.
#Gaza2023
Tweet by journalist Noga Tarnopolsky: "Israel begged Qatar to keep the money flowing even as evidence emerged showing it was going to Hamas' armed wing & Qatar has the receipts for each request, and each cash transfer. Actual invoices. It's all documented, and scooped tonight by @SuleimanMas1"
Tweet, with links, by Jacob Magid, Times of Israel US Bureau Chief: "We published these documents a year and a half ago"
Reminder that Israel financed Hamas.
#Gaza2023
That said, you don't have to be antisemitic to question the scope of Israeli claims about October 7th.
Israel has lied and lied and lied and lied and lied about events of the day.
If it was so bad anyway, why make up lies to pad it out?
#Gaza2023
"Why do we live in a world where Genocide has been normalized? I spot a baby bottle in the church, under the rubble, full of milk. What happened to that baby? And its parents, what did they tell her? That this is what a thunderstorm sounds like?"
#Gaza2023
This is just extraordinary!
Trump on Miriam Adelson, saying the quiet part out loud, unashamedly.
He can't be all there?
Still, there's no Israel lobby, right?
And suggesting someone has dual loyalties is antisemitic, right?
#Zionism
#Gaza2023
If he was being really brave he would would separate the 1100 killed into military and civilian and query just how many of the civilians were killed by Israel itself under the Hannibal Directive.
Really not sure Israel was the victim on October 7th.
#Gaza2023
So many photos out of Gaza redolent of 1940s massacres,like this one at Poneriai (Ponary), Vilnius, Lithuania.

Certainly looks that way. Definitely more civilians.
About half the 1,200 killed were IGF.
#Gaza2023
Great that ITV has finally reported, but where have they been for two years?
We all knew this was happening. There is no surprise.
This is how genocides happen - unreported until it is too late, allowing governments to look the other way, while perpetrators ... perp.
#Gaza2023
Bears an uncanny resemblance to a 'Hamas command centre under a hospital'.
#Gaza2023
2/2
- Israel repeatedly breaks ceasefires, and makes 'peace' offers that are not peaceful
- Israel lied in the most horrific fashion about October 7th 2023, and the world's media are still allowing that narrative to uncorrected
So, FT editors, you still have ground to make up.
#Gaza2023
Who do you think killed most of the civilians, the IGF or Hamas?

Guardian reporting Israeli atrocities months and years after everyone else.
Where were you when it mattered, @katharineviner.bsky.social ?
Where were you when it needed to be on the front page, top billing on the hour, every hour?
#Gaza2023
"Israel seriously over-reacted"
That's one way to describe the acceleration of a genocide 13 decades in the making.
#Gaza2023
"Hamas did not attack military targets"
Well they did. But you know that. You've done your research. You know what happened on October 7th 2023.
You do know, right?

"According to UN estimates, up to 85% of the population of Gaza - one of the world's most densely populated areas - have already been displaced from their homes." #Gaza2023 www.rte.ie/news/world/2...
"The assault on Gaza is about creating squalid, lawless and impoverished ghettos, in the West Bank and Gaza, where life for Palestinians will be barely sustainable"
Chris Hedges, laying a charge of genocide on Israel in 2008.
2008.
Genocide.
