The folks who consider the murder of 160 Iranian school children to be legitimate collateral damage want you to be mad at some twitter likes.

It sounds so ridiculous, doesn't it? It is a great analogy‼️

@america @nickshirleyy @grok, when was this investigation done? Was it during any of the holidays during which the children wouldn’t be at daycare?

Amnesty finds no ‘meaningful change’ in Gaza ‘with the genocide continuing’ desp Oct ’. Aid agencies corroborate our reporting in Jordan that Israel continues to block lifesaving aid despite their claims to the contrary ⁦⁦@MedicalAidPal⁩ 🧵 https://t.co/Y8zYHpSI8h

Medical / hospital groups and societies around the world should be demanding their release, but as this week’s Lancet front page reads..

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This isn't just any report by a fringe organization: this is the United Nations - which, lest you forget, under the Charter signed by the entire world is supposed to represent the ultimate international legal authority - now officially saying that Israel is committing genocide.

And not in a small way: while the Genocide Convention requires proof of just ONE "prohibited act with genocidal intent" to establish genocide, they found Israel guilty of FOUR separate categories:
- killing Palestinians
- causing them serious bodily and mental harm
- deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy them
- imposing measures to prevent Palestinian births
- they also found that Israeli President Herzog, PM Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Gallant personally incited genocide - meaning the genocidal intent goes straight to the top

In other words, this is textbook, systematic, intended genocide according to the UN's own investigation.

We all know however that, while all nations - including the U.S. and Israel - have signed up to the UN Charter, the actual world order is VERY different from what's written on paper. What's happening in Gaza is making this eminently clear: a UN investigation can meticulously document genocide using the very legal standards the world agreed upon after the Holocaust, and yet said genocide will continue unabated.

Heck, without a doubt the states legally obligated to prevent genocide will instead work overtime to discredit the UN. The very institutions created to prevent another Holocaust will ironically be demolished for identifying one.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

“It is clear there is an intent to destroy the Palestinians in Gaza through acts that meet the criteria set forth in the Genocide Convention.”

UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry's report shows #Israel has committed #genocide in #Gaza.

@dsisme48 @piersmorgan The premise of your point is profoundly faulty, but if you need to read it from Israeli sources:

Mr @POTUS @JDVance @BernieSanders @RobertKennedyJr @RepThomasMassie @RoKhanna can we please get aid into GAZA NOW?! Children are starving to death!! We are America. This isnt about politics. This is about humanity.

President @EmmanuelMacron, this is a laudable gesture for 9/25 but will be too late for thousands of innocent Gazan infants who will have starved to death by then. Please, you MUST ACT now & break through the blockade to push food and medical aide through

The sheer intellectual collapse you have to experience to be faced with 122 international aid organisations telling you the same thing... ISRAEL IS STARVING GAZANS... only to decide they are ALL lying & that actually Benjamin Netanyahu, on trial for fraud, is telling the truth.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨 SHOCKING REPORT: Israeli soldiers in Gaza are reportedly turning the targeting of Palestinian children into a horrifying and systematic “human-hunting game,” according to British surgeon Dr. Nick Maynard.
He testified: “These children are being targeted almost as if it’s a game… One day they’re all shot in the head, the next day in the neck, and another day in the testicles… There is a clear and deliberate pattern to the injuries.”

Hi Leslie, I'm a historian of Palestine. I spent 15 years of my life studying the history of the 6 paragraphs of propaganda you shared above. Virtually every sentence in this post is misinformation. Let's dive in:

1. "Palestine was largely a wasteland." During the last few decades of Ottoman rule, Palestine was experiencing rapid economic growth through its booming export industry of oranges, cotton, tobacco, wheat and barley and other commodities. Education was rapidly spreading in the late Ottoman period, as were lots of large infrastructure projects like roads and railways. Your characterization of the land as "a wasteland" speaks to your own bigotry and racism, not to Palestine. For 2 good books on the topic, see Alexander Schölch's Palestine in Transformation, 1856-1882 as well as Ben-Bassat & Ginio's Late Ottoman Palestine : the period of young Turk rule.

2. With regard to the legality of the Jewish colonies in Palestine: they were all illegal, as the Ottoman government forbade foreign Jews from establishing residence in Palestine in the fall of 1881. Whoops, i guess you forgot to mention 100% of Zionists were illegal settlers who, incidentally, did not describe themselves as "returnees" as you did, but described themselves as colonizers. For more the illegality, see: https://t.co/iB0ym6H6jT For more on their own self-conception as colonizers, see: https://t.co/QIGHoYlGmm.

3. With regard to "these migrants were indigenous to Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, drawn by the opportunities the Jews created" -- you are referencing the thoroughly debunked work of Joan Peters, who makes this argument in her fraudulent book from Time Immemorial in which she literally makes up data, invents number and falsifies documents. 0 serious historians cite that book, other than to illustrate it was a piece of fraudulent research. you can learn more about that here: https://t.co/EFh1opS56O

4. You are correct that most Palestinians, who constituted 2/3rds of the population, rejected giving 55% of their country to 1/3rd of its inhabitants who owned less than 6% of the land, most of which was acquired through colonial violence and minority rule. But it sounds like you believe anti-democracy and colonial violence are just methods of acquiring land?

5. You spread countless myths and lies about the Palestinian people. This thread thoroughly debunks every point you make about the Palestinains: https://t.co/iVehfkkL6M

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite; they'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.

This was a comment I saw under my content. I must say… Perfectly articulated.

[Fan Ms Rachel At Songs @msrachelforlitt]

Let charity groups deliver food and water safely. They know how to do it. More than 500 Palestinians have been killed and more than 5,000 injured just trying to get food.

Think of the children think of all our children! #FreePalestine #Gaza

[Muhammad Smiry 🇵🇸 @MuhammadSmiry]

A shocking Associated Press investigation has uncovered disturbing footage showing security contractors firing live rounds and stun grenades at Palestinians, not in combat zones, but at food distribution centers in Gaza.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

If Ms Rachel can keep using her platform after those ridiculous attacks, every so-called celebrity can. They’re choosing silence in the face of an American-funded genocide.
