Here’s something I wish millions of people knew. All the academics trying to give legitimacy to the genocide libel know that Israel is not committing genocide under the Genocide Convention. They are completely explicit about this. They openly argue that the legal definition of genocide needs to be discarded, stretched, or reinterpreted, because they know it doesn’t apply to Israel.
If you’ve ever wondered how Israel could be accused of genocide while fighting against a massive army of militans—while Hamas embeds itself in hospitals, schools, and homes—know that they also know this undermines the accusation. But they don’t care. For them, Israel is genocidal simply because it’s a “settler-colonial” state. That’s it. Not intent, not action, not operational context, just ideology. This theory says nothing about intent and nothing about military law.
According to this logic, antizionist militias every right to use guerilla warfare, to hide behind civilians, and to martyr its own population. They bears no responsibility. Everyone pushing the genocide accusation knows it’s not legally true. So when they cite human rights reports or international law, they’re deliberately distorting it, bending it to fit their ideology, hoping no one notices.
Figures like Dirk Moses, Francesca Albanese, Omer Bartov, and Amos Goldberg are part of a small circle doing this openly. They know the contradictions and they admit them among themselves, when they think that no one else is watching.
Just in the last two weeks in the Jihadist paradise called Europe:
👉 In Modena, an Islamic terrorist ran over eight people and then attempted to stab those who were trying to stop him.
👉 In Florence, a fifteen-year-old was arrested for jihadist activities.
👉 In Vimercate, a twenty-one-year-old was arrested for the same reason.
👉 At a party in Pergine Valsugana, two Tunisian brothers harassed attendees and then attacked motorcyclists with an axe.
👉 In Civita Castellana, a Colombian woman was kidnapped and raped for three days by a Malian, two Gambians, and three Nigerians.
👉 In Genoa, a Senegalese man killed a man with a broken bottle.
👉 In Rome, an eighteen-year-old Colombian man slit the throat of a fellow resident over a garbage problem.
👉 In Cosenza, four Pakistanis were burned alive in a car by other Pakistanis.
👉 In Paris, to celebrate PSG's victory, wonderful young "resources", who pay our pensions, destroyed the city.
👉 In London, Henry Nowak, a young man was left to die on the ground, handcuffed and bleeding to death, despite screaming “I can’t breathe,” because the Sikh who had stabbed him accused him of being racist.
@MarkJCarney@VectorInst What would you not like to talk about
Canada is in a recession/depression.
Unemployment is skyrocketing.
Inflation is soaring.
You can lie all day long but these are the facts.
Carney is destroying Canada.
This is inversion so callous it's hard to believe.
The Holocaust had a survival rate of about 30%. Millions of people disappeared from European cities and towns over several years. Everybody knew because it was happening all around them.
Gaza has a survival rate, despite the worst and most deadly and horrible periods of the war, of 97%.
All the dead Jews were noncombatants. A large percentage of the dead Gazans were combatants.
And the Jews of Europe, even as their millennia-old civilization was being systematically wiped out, wanted nothing from the societies that surrounded them except to be allowed to live in peace.
Gaza's leadership of religious fanatics, meanwhile, wants every last Israeli dead and gone, is willing to fight to the last Gazan to achieve that aim, has said so publicly and worked for decades to blow up every peace attempt -- and even now believes that Gaza's destruction would be a worthwhile sacrifice to lay on the altar of Israel's destruction, because their god told them so.
So Israelis can reasonably believe, given those features of the Gaza war that aren't true about any genocide ever, and were pretty much the opposite of what was happening in the Holocaust, that Gaza's suffering is a bad and painful war, but not remotely a genocide.
But the point of it all, of course, is not to analyze Gaza, but specifically to lump it together with the Holocaust -- to cast the Jews as the new Nazis.
The only reason this person would dare to make such an insanely ahistorical and immoral parallel is because this is the heart of the bigoted propaganda campaign in which he enthusiastically participates: The point of it all is to make the Jews into the Nazis.
A culture that obsessed about Jews being evil and was then shocked by the Holocaust into obsessing about dead Jews as the apotheosis of righteous victimhood is now obsessively engaged in knocking Jews off that moral pedestal they themselves put them on.
That's why they don't care one whit about Hamas massacres of Gazans, about genocidal wars in Syria or Yemen (even when they've funded and armed the sides), about flotilla activists currently held by the Libyans...literally nothing triggers a response except Jews.
They still, even after all these generations, no matter what else is happening in the world or in their own societies, can't stop thinking about Jews.
And as we Jews learned in the 1940s -- the actual, historical 1940s, not the weird fantasies conjured up by these bigots -- a whole society can be in the grip of a callous, destructive bigotry and still believe it is true and righteous.
On This Day — June 3, 1948
Over half a million Arabs poured into Mandate Palestine in just 12 years to take advantage of the economic opportunities created by Jewish development — the only place in the entire Middle East with a growing Arab middle class.
Robert F. Kennedy, then only 22, made that striking observation in his reporting from British Mandate Palestine in April 1948 (just weeks before Israel’s independence). His dispatch was published this day in the Boston Post.
RFK wrote:
“The Jews point with pride to the fact that over 500,000 Arabs ... came into Palestine to take advantage of living conditions existing in no other Arab state. This is the only country in the Near and Middle East where an Arab middle class is in existence.”
He described how the Jews had transformed arid desert into flourishing orange groves through relentless labor and ingenuity. Tel Aviv had grown from a small village into a modern metropolis of over 200,000 in a single generation.
RFK noted that the Jews had already built a thriving community with its own institutions, language, and national characteristics — and were determined to reclaim their ancient homeland “as of right and not on sufferance.”
A young Bobby Kennedy saw the truth clearly: a people returning home, rebuilding their land with their own hands, and refusing to live as guests in their own country.
