@toddrichman@lpolgreen Solid comment. The attacks on Israel in the 80s from Lebanon aren’t discussed nor Jordanian civil war in ‘73 that kicked the PLO into Lebanon since they were so much damn trouble. But hey, why shouldn’t the Palestinians take over Israel, so many successful neighboring models 🙄
@HenMazzig@lpolgreen is an idiot and misses on so many basic facts. @OrenKessler could rip this article to shreds, how do you mess up basic Lebanese history this bad?
South Africa quietly pushed back the ICJ "genocide" case against Israel to 2029 after initially demanding a rush. Why? The filing is wholly unsupported by actual evidence. For example, clause 49 claims Israel is killing "journalists"—a narrative that has completely collapsed.
Watch how the cycle works:
1. An allegation is made.
2. Journalists report the allegation.
3. NGOs cite the reporting.
4. The UN cites the NGOs.
5. A strongly worded report is issued.
6. Everyone cites the UN report.
By the end, an unverified claim has been transformed into an accepted "fact" through repetition rather than evidence.
Dems are worried about Platner stories because it's another crack in a well-crafted brand of a working-class oyster farmer but:
he went to Hotchkiss
his income is from disability & he makes little from oysters
said the VA helped him w/ his house, but was a 200k loan from his Dad
Smotrich wasn't invited, he crashed the event. No Democrat marched with him and many Jewish leaders condemned his gatecrashing. The faction of the left that makes excuses for the guy with Nazi tattoos and other antisemites would do well to learn from that response.
@ElliotMalin@adamjohnsonCHI is the author of this claptrap and he blocks anybody who dares to challenge him on any point. Cherrypicking clown of the 1st order, but that goes back to his anti-policing takes as well, right off the prog activist assembly line.
@JakeTSelby@EinatWilf What’s crazy is idiots have to stretch the definition of apartheid and genocide to encompass Israel b/c it does not fit existing examples -SA, Turkey, Sudan, Yemen, Nazi Germany. Fuck off midwit.
@JakeTSelby@EinatWilf Also stupid. Arab Muslim Israelis serve on the Knesset, worship freely and aren’t restricted for travel, make up 20% of Israeli society. Crazy right?
@gscott1233@EmmaVigeland Israel was granted a country and attacked from all sides, holding a fraction of the territory. Don’t make dumb analogies child. Palestinians should fight Jordan and Egypt with your logic.
