This is absolutely insane!
157 of 266 Gaza "journalists" were linked to terror groups.
1,400 of 12,000 Gaza UNRWA employees were linked to terror groups.
100 UNRWA employees participated in Oct 7 and/or hid hostages.
Doctors Without Borders and hospital staff were linked to Hamas.
Gaza is one big cesspool of terror, and all pro-"Palestinian" voices are complicit in this cover-up.
Everyone needs to know about this!
@JimmyKempski Any chance nick goes back to being aggressive and play to win instead of not to lose? If not is he gone? It seems like he doesn’t care about points.
🚨 BREAKING: Second time Hollywood actress Blake Lively donated $1 million to Israeli children who were injured during the war.
Her humidity is so beautiful.
Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan says he can debunk Israel's defenders in under 60 seconds.
His method? Reading a list of names really fast.
That's not an argument. That's a filibuster with a bibliography.
Fine. Start the clock.
Here's the problem with his fifty sources: it's one source wearing fifty costumes.
The UN cites Amnesty. Amnesty cites a different UN report. That one cites the BBC. The BBC cites UNRWA. UNRWA cites the Gaza Ministry of Health. The Gaza Ministry of Health is Hamas.
Even a member of his own genocide scholars association has a name for this: "citation washing."
Congratulations. You just traced fifty "independent" voices back to one terrorist press office.
Now, a few of his star witnesses.
The International Association of Genocide Scholars? $30 and you're in. Emperor Palpatine is a member. So is Cookie Monster.
Amnesty? Their own report — page 101 — calls the established legal standard too "cramped" to reach a genocide finding. The law as written wouldn't convict Israel, so they loosened the law.
B'Tselem said the quiet part louder — their report openly adopts "a broader analytical framework" than the legal definition. That's lawyer-speak for "we changed the rules."
The UN? The General Assembly passed 17 resolutions against Israel in 2024. Seven against the entire rest of the planet combined. North Korea, Iran, Syria, Russia — one each. Sudan, where actual mass slaughter is happening right now? Zero.
And here's a name Mehdi will never read off his list: Alice Wairimu Nderitu.
The UN's own Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide. Their in-house expert. The one person whose entire job was answering this exact question. She looked at the evidence, looked at the law, and refused to call Gaza a genocide.
Her reward? "Hounded, day in, day out. Bullied, hounded, with protection from nobody." Her words. Then her contract quietly wasn't renewed.
She said the pressure to declare a genocide "never happened for any other war. Not for Ukraine, not for Sudan, not for Democratic Republic of Congo."
The UN's genocide expert said no — so the UN got a new genocide expert.
Oh, and one more name he forgot: the jihadist terrorist group Hamas. The original proponent of the genocide libel — the source his fifty sources trace back to. Somehow they didn't make the list. Neither did any of the scholars, military experts, former hostages, survivors, and millions of common-sense humans united in rejecting the claim.
Instead of rattling off a list of "because they said so," how about evidence? Millions of warning leaflets. Humanitarian corridors. Polio vaccines. 130 babies born a day. The Jewish birth rate during the Holocaust was statistically zero. That's what genocide looks like.
Fifty sources quoting each other isn't fifty sources. It's an echo chamber with footnotes.
So, Mehdi's big question: Who do I believe?
Wrong question. It's not about Who. It's about What.
I believe incontrovertible evidence. Population data. Millions of tons of aid. Hard casualty numbers. Weighed against the actual legal definition — not a list of people and organizations quoting each other.
Because I fact-check.
Time.
