@P0LART4NG@mmoshe85@MarkRuffalo Genocide doesn't equate to a population growing and having a lower starvation rate than surrounding countries POST WAR you nimrod
Someone I've known for twenty years lives a couple of blocks away. He is not a partisan, he does not post about the Middle East, and he is not the sort of person who chants anything.
Out of the blue, he asked me: "Do you think there's a genocide in Gaza?"
No, I told him. By every metric that matters — legal, historical, statistical — there is not.
He looked at me the way you look at someone who has just told you the earth is flat. Netanyahu wants to eliminate the Palestinian people, he said. Everybody knows that.
Not a study. Not a court ruling. Not a casualty figure. Just a thing everybody knows.
I have spent forty years as a reporter learning that "everybody knows" is where investigations begin, not where they end.
Tomorrow on Just the Facts: Genocide for Dummies: a plain-language piece on what the word actually means under international law, how Gaza compares on every relevant metric, and why even the strongest case for the genocide charge still doesn't clear the bar the word requires.
By the way, I know the title will bother some readers, and I address that directly in the piece. My argument is not that the subject is trivial — it is that the word is being used by people who cannot define it, at a threshold they have never examined, with a confidence that bears no relationship to the evidence.
Your friendly reminder that using children as soldiers is a war crime. Hamas publicly celebrates committing this war crime. I had a lot of people call me a baby killer who wants Palestinian children dead. Curious I don't see any of them speaking up now.
Yesterday, in Pakistan, Muslim Terrorists attacked and burned 27 Churches and 400 Christian Houses over False Blasphemy Charges 😨
But Pope Leo XIV can't speak on Pakistan and Nigerian Christians, even BBC, Al Jazeera, TNT World are busy somewhere else 👇🏻
As world leaders discuss demilitarizing Gaza and disarming Hamas, Hamas just gave its answer: a military convoy filmed today, packed with terrorists patrolling Gaza’s streets. Its purpose is clear: to project power, provoke, and terrorize Gazans.
Look at the greedy colonialist Jews (in red) expanding into the small territory of the Muslims (in green). Remember, Israel is a colonizing project but Islam is a peaceful religion that did not spread via colonialism.

No es solo que en una ciudad de 80mil personas hayan entrado 50mil, no, es que van por las calles con katanas.
Ceuta no se merece esto.
On February 5, 2024, a 14-year-old Palestinian approached Israeli Border Police near al-Eizariya, pulled a knife during a stop, and tried to stab an officer. He then ran across the road and was shot dead.
The full police video shows the approach, the knife, the lunge, and the shooting. Yet within hours, cropped versions that cut out the stabbing attempt started circulating. The story flipped: an “unarmed child” executed in cold blood.
Prominent accounts amplified the decontextualized clip and the inversion. Some still recirculate it 2 years later. The full footage was available the same day. The edited version spread further.
This isn’t a one-off. It’s a method. Remove the act of aggression, frame the response as the original crime, and watch institutions and large parts of the X platform treat the lie as contested opinion rather than deliberate fraud.
This is what X has become. It isn’t this platform of truth and free speech it was promised to be. It is simply a platform that amplifies untruths and revisionism while silencing the truth.
With the manner in which X allows lies to thrive and amplifies them, X and its leadership have blood on their hands. A lot of it. Jews across the West have been targeted, stabbed, shot and murdered because of such amplified lies and misinformation. The Bondi Massacre and murders and stabbings in Britain are prime examples.
Full unedited video attached.
The Helsinki Court of Appeal has cleared three men who raped a heavily intoxicated 17-year-old girl in a wooded area in Finland. The girl was so drunk that she had actually been taken to the hospital for intoxication just before the assault. The three men then raped her in the woods right outside the hospital.
Both the District Court and the Court of Appeal completely dismissed all charges and let the men walk free without any convictions.
Judges ruled that despite her severe intoxication, CCTV footage showed she was still legally capable of forming and expressing consent. The court decided that the men could have believed the teenager was agreeing to having sex, ultimately freeing them from all criminal responsibility. It is completely fucked up that a court thinks a teenager drunk enough to need a hospital is somehow sober enough to consent to three grown men. Being drunk does not mean consent. Not saying no does not mean consent. If someone is too intoxicated to care for themselves, they cannot give real consent, period.
“Mayor Mamdani, I’m an Arab Muslim Israeli, and let me tell you why you’re wrong.” Lourd Atia debunks all of Zohran Mamdani’s lies and shares the truth about what life is really like for her in Israel.
Having seen the infamous 47-minute compilation of the 7 Oct atrocities with my own eyes (not publicly available), I can attest that the Silenced No More report, which is freely available online, is even worse. It's just words on a page, but it leaves enough to the imagination to be even more horrific than the video. At least for me.
In the 47-minute compilation, there is some evidence of sexual sadism, but not much. Probably for two reasons: proud though Hamas was of massacring Jews, they were less keen on broadcasting scenes of sexual depravity. And the Israeli government likely declined to include the most horrific footage out of respect for the victims.
The report is exhaustively documented, horror story after horror story. I've read it only once, and I won't do so again. Especially the sections about the Nova festival are extremely disturbing. So I asked Claude to summarize the documented patterns in the report:
- Rape and gang rape, with victims passed between attackers in sequence, witnesses describing laughter throughout
- Targeted gunshots to groin, abdomen, buttocks and face; genital mutilation of both women and men
- Rape followed by execution—victims shot or stabbed immediately afterward, some shot in the head during the assault
- Rape continuing after victims were dead
- Sexual mutilation—breasts severed, genitals cut off or shot
- Burning, including deliberate burning of the groin; bodies set alight with accelerants
- - Hands bound behind backs; bodies tied to trees and poles along the road
- Sharp objects inserted into victims' genitals
- Women raped in view of their desperate partners, who were then killed
- Male victims gang-raped, beaten, and threatened with castration
- Dismemberment and decapitation
These findings of systematic sexual violence and torture are corroborated by the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict (2024) and the UN Commission of Inquiry (2024).
Just one quote from a survivor:
"I heard one rape where they were passing her around. She was probably injured, judging by her screams—screams you have never heard anywhere. It's between silence and screams, between pain and wanting to die. These are screams... it's something I have never heard in my life, and I have no way to explain to you what it sounds like. But it's screams. It's screams. It was simply horrific. And after one finished, he told another to go up 'Ta'al' [in Arabic], like to the next one. And apparently there was a round... And after they finished, they shot her." She continued: "You hear the screams, and then you hear silence. You hear a bang—and silence. And then there's a kind of calm. And then you say: okay, it's over at least. She's done with it. And like that with each person they abused—you heard. The moment they were killed, I said, 'Oh my God, finally, it's over.'"
You privileged Westerners have no idea how you would react if this happened to you and your loved ones—if a group committed these atrocities, vowed to repeat them again and again, and openly declared that it would not stop until your country no longer existed. You have no idea.

I invite you to imagine how you would want our government to respond if a single rocket was fired into a neighborhood near you by an enemy sworn to kill you all. Now watch this video and remember it isn't rain you're seeing.
