@autochthonomous @kiyahwillis Yeah, nice try. The massacre in Hebron was earlier

[Adin - عدین - עדין @AdinHaykin1]

Yeahhhh
The Palestinians have never carried out terrorist attacks abroad

[Moshe @kahntra]

@_ZachFoster @JewishChron Israel only attacked a few Hamas officials in Qatar, some Hezbollah members in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and, if it's even true, a flotilla boat in Tunisian waters... yet you say they are attacking all those countries.

When I was arrested, my mother (who also identifies as Palestinian) asked the police officer whether he liked to eat hummus or go to church on Saturdays.

He said, "What do you mean?"

She said, "You know what I mean! Are you a Jew?"

He said, "no, I'm not Jewish".

She told him "You are a tool of the Jews! We will declare a holy war against you and all your descendants for the next 500 years!"

He muttered something about how shoplifting women's underwear is a crime regardless.

Ever since I've campaigned to defund the police.

@FalconryFinance Thanks for your opinion, Goy. But if we cared about Goyim's opinion we'd all be dead by now.

@mwecker For the record, different OU

A man once charged with multiple hate crimes in an alleged anti-Semitic attack at DePaul has pleaded guilty to a single misdemeanor.

Prosecutors dropped seven felonies.

42 Rent Stabilized NYC Apartments for sale at just over $70,000 each.

You can’t find a better deal. Or can you?

Actually if this building were selling for $1 you’d still have a liability on your hands. Average rents are $1,261 with almost half a million dollars of listed expenses.

This doesn’t include countless local laws like LL11 or LL97 that do not have costs reflected here.

This assumes you collect rent every single month without issue.

This assumes expenses don’t continue to rise faster than RGB adjustments.

This assumes there are no leaks, gas issues, or replacement of infrastructure in a building that was built before WW1.

This building is also not an outlier. Rent Stabilized buildings in NYC are in deep, deep trouble and even with income and expense data on display leaders choose to ignore this growing crisis.

@grok @HuronBen @David_Y3 @detachedrealist @grok since King David was a Jewish king, does the fact that Muslims consider him anything but Jewish mean anything historically?

[Heimish Defense @HeimishDefense]

@SoniaSikka4 @HenshiG Palestinians as a separate distinct group, do not exist.

@Elizrael I would keep a printout of this post in your purse for the next time you get kidnapped

Perhaps they’ll accept it as evidence that you are one of the good ones this time!

[Noam Blum @neontaster]

This asshole spent her time in captivity trying to convince her kidnappers that she was one of the good Jews and got tortured for her troubles. Now she just does it for fun.

I like the new WebMD update

The man behind “Palestine News Network” violently harassed a couple at a restaurant in LA.

He threw a punch—and got knocked out cold. Instant regret.

Are we still pretending they dont just hate jews

[WikiBias @WikiBias]

While Israelis are known for their inventions and impressive Nobel Prize-winning rate, their enemies excel mainly at inventing lies and obscuring the truth.

Here are just some of the many Israeli inventions deleted from Wikipedia, including Babylon, ICQ, OrCam, and Moovit.

The burden of proof is on the accuser, actually. Never on the accused. And the burden of proof here is fully conclusive. So, those accusing Israel of genocide must prove their claim to the highest standard possible in the law.

But sure, happy to oblige.

Every single accusation has failed to establish intent as required by law. That intent threshold is known as “dolus specialis” and is an extremely high bar to meet. It requires that you prove that the conduct you accuse them of is the conduct the accused intended to commit. (Side note: those experts you cited argue to shift from dolus specialis, which is the codified law, to dolus eventualis, which is not the codified law).

Every accusation cites to Netanyahu’s reference to “remember what Amalek did to you” from Deuteronomy. That reference is found in The Hague on the Holocaust memorial and is a culturally important reference after a massacre of Jews. Under the Tolomir case from ICTY it would fail to establish intent because you’re required to place that into context.

Every accusation cites to Gallant’s “we are fighting human animals” statement but each has ignored that it was a direct reference to Hamas, which is not protected in the Genocide Convention. Again, failing the ICTY test.

Every accusation cites to Herzog’s “no innocents” statement but neglects, again, his saying in the same speech that civilians must be protected. Again, failing the ICTY test.

Next, we should assess the harm. In Gaza it’s about 3% of the population having been killed (including combatants). In every genocide that’s been adjudicated it’s a range of 20-80% of the population decimated in about a month to years. This is true for the Holocaust, Srebrenica, and Rwanda. This fails the second prong of the test.

Next, we should assess if a protected group has been systematically targeted for destruction. Here, again, we have 3% of the population having reportedly been killed (so far), of that at least 1/3 are combatants. This was done in a complex urban environment where a combatant party (Hamas) systematically embedded and fought from civilian and humanitarian infrastructure. This causes us to expect higher civilian casualties because provisions of law such as GCIV 19 & 28, and API 51(7) then apply expressly not immunizing the combatant party operating the way Hamas does from harm. Essentially, saying places where civilians are become targetable. Thus, this defeats the third prong of the analysis.

Finally, we need to have demonstrated the conscious planning of the alleged genocidal actus reus. An example of this is the Nazi’s Wannsee Conference. Here, we have the opposite. When a plan of action threatened the safety of Palestinians and was called into question on legality, the plan was scrapped. Demonstrating that there was no conscious planning of a genocidal actus reus and legal mechanisms operated to ensure compliance with the. This defeats the fourth prong of the ICTY’s Tolomir analysis.

Since the ICTY Tolomir analysis cannot be sustained to infer intent, you cannot establish that genocide has occurred.

As a lawyer who actually practices this area of law, and not a keyboard warrior or historian who has mangled the law for ideological bias, I find it prudent to actually apply it objectively and honestly.

Hope this helps, Johnny.
