IDF soldier describing his commander murdering a child: "We went out with him on the first patrol…There's not a soul in the streets, just a little 4-year-old boy playing…The commander…grabs the boy, and breaks his arm..and his leg..Stepped on his stomach three times and left."
@yanivgraph@sethbannon At this point, most international human rights organizations have classified Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide. You can reject this claim, but turning around and calling it libel isn’t in good faith
The term "blood libel" refers to a false, antisemitic accusation originating in the Middle Ages claiming that Jews kidnap & murder Christian children to use their blood for religious rituals.
Israel's genocide of the palestinians, has nothing to do with blood, Jews, murdering Christians, or the Middle Ages.
Istead, it's the consensus of every relevant human rights organization (e.g. @amnesty, @hrw, @btselem, @MSF, IAGS, @alhaq_org, @UNHumanRights, @UN_HRC, @pchrgaza@AlMezanCenter, @WarOnWant, @PHRIsrael, @fidh_en, PHROC, @LemkinInstitute, @theCCR, @ECCHRBerlin, @unitedforrights, @JURDIasso, @TheElders, @Oxfam), and a preponderance of genocide scholars & international legal experts (Francesca Albanese, Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, William Schabas, Melanie O’Brien, Uğur Ümit Üngör, Jeffrey S. Bachman, Victoria Sanford, John Quigley, Timothy Williams, Shmuel Lederman, Penny Green, Elyse Semerdjian, Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh, Chris Sidoti, to name just a tiny sample).
As Abdelwahab El-Affendi, Professor of Politics at Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, said, "among the scholars who took part in the Journal of Genocide Research forum," ...there was ""near consensus" that Israel's actions on Gaza were "certainly 'genocidal' if not outright genocide". https://t.co/lzBbLCRrAg
Calling the claim that Israel's genocide of the Palestinians is a "blood libel" outs you not only as genocide denier, a person disconnected from reality, no different than a holocaust denier, but also outs you as a Jew-hater:
Because it's saying criticism Israel is inherently & always an attack on Jews, which is declaring Jews like myself bear responsibility for Israel's genocidal actions, which is about as antisemitic as it gets.
So the airhead antisemitic analysts using the term "blood libel" to attack the consensus that Israel is carrying out a genocide -- please stop endangering me & my family you genocide denying fuckturd.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
JUST IN: Israeli media admits the IDF broke the ceasefire first by killing dozens of Gazans over the past week without Hamas firing a single bullet in return
@zoink Share the sentiment of gratitude, but puzzled by your omission of the release of 2000 Palestinian hostages held by Israel, 1700 who were held without charge. There are ~9000 more who Israel still refuses to release
