Kristof, like the UN report itself, your column is part of the machinery of lies and blood libels.
Like the report, it is filled with lies.
Take a breath, have some cold water, and pay attention to the facts.
🚨 JD Vance called Israel vs Hezbollah a “chicken and egg problem.”
Hezbollah was created to wage jihad, serve Iran, and destroy Israel.
Israel was created so Jews would never again be at the mercy of people who want them dead.
JD takes a look at this and says:
“Hard to say who started it.”
No.
It is not hard.
And it’s disgusting that he pretends it is.
Reporter: Your ally Israel has something like genocide in Lebanon. The main issue is stopping this.
JD Vance: Ma'am, I think Trump and the U.S. have done more to stop the conflict in Lebanon than any government anywhere in the world.
Peace is never easy. Peace always requires a little bit of work. It always requires a little bit of give and take.
But Trump is committed not just to peace between the U.S. and Iran. Trump is committed to a regional peace.
Mamdani again declines to say who voted for in the competitive NY-12 primary. Said it’s between himself and the ballot. Which is really annoying, because he’s the mayor and has publicly endorsed several candidates, and hasn’t been afraid to offend would-be allies with that.
Piers, the IDF is operating in accordance with international law against Hezbollah, a terrorist organization that is hell-bent on killing Israelis.
You would do the same if it were your family in danger.
Pay no attention to Ben Gvir.
He’s a clown who represents neither Israel’s values nor its actions. He didn’t serve a single day as a soldier, so he’s just spewing nonsense.
We’re defending ourselves in a war we didn’t start and don’t want.
And I will ensure that we continue to defend ourselves.
Pvtos nazis
🇵🇸👉El ejército terrorista israelíes le dispararon a Sarah Aziz, una joven de 15 años de la ciudad de Nablus. Recibió un disparo en la mano. El colono que aparece en el video dice: "Dispárale, dispárale en la cabeza".

I'd personally suggest that the Nazi regime was the most Nazi government, but whatever.
I'm stuck on the "believe it's illegal for others to defend themselves" part.
Because this is a guy who thinks a Hamas terrorist taking a photo next to a disabled, elderly woman and her caretaker before he shot them both point-blank is self-defense.
All the while, every single action Israel takes has explicitly not been self-defense in his eyes because he believes it's illegal for Israel to defend itself.
The hypocrisy is stunning.
