Meme - Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig: "Remember UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, the one who implied that Israelis eat human flesh and that Israel is humanity's common enemy. She just retweeted Dyab Abou Jahjah, a former Hezbollah member who became a politician in Belgium, saying that "the Lebanese resistance is fighting to defend the country". A UN employee is openly siding with a Hezbollah member and defending the terrorist group. The fact that Albanese's contract has been renewed tells us everything we need to know about the UN's bias."

Since the Lebanese government has condemn Hezbollah, it's proof that they are controlled by "Zionists" and must be ignored!
Francesca Albanese in Her Own Words - "Holocaust Distortion, Trivialization and Comparisons to Nazis

Albanese’s Antisemitism Prior to Her UN appointment...
In 2014, Albanese expressed excitement on Facebook that Hamas was removed from the list of terror organizations by the EU General Court: “Two good news one after another from the radio while I was taking a nap. Normalization in the relations usa cuba [sic] and removal of hamas [sic] from the list of terror organizations. Was i [sic] dreaming???” The EU’s decision to declassify Hamas as a terrorist organization was overturned by the European Court of Justice (EJC) in 2017.
In 2014, Albanese stated: “America and Europe, one of them subjugated by the Jewish lobby, and the other by the sense of guilt about the Holocaust.” When uncovered in 2022, Albanese’s comments were condemned by US Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Deborah Lipstadt as “blatantly antisemitic.” Albanese has since said that she regrets this remark."
Clearly, she meant the "Zionist" lobby and isn't anti-Semitic at all
France to call for Albanese's resignation at UN session - "Albanese’s antisemitic remarks at Saturday’s Al Jazeera Forum, where she spoke alongside a “representative of Hamas and a representative of the Iranian government while the repression continues.”... The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria, Beate Meinl-Reisinger, claimed that Albanese branded Israel an "enemy of humanity," chastising her for using language that "undermines the impartiality and highest standards that the role of a UN representative requires."... Her comments, Barrot said, “target not the Israeli government, whose policies can be criticized, but Israel as a people and as a nation, which is absolutely unacceptable.” Barrot noted that Albanese’s words "add to a long list of scandalous positions, justifying October 7, the worst antisemitic massacre in our history since the Holocaust, mentioning the ‘Jewish Lobby’ and comparing Israel to the Third Reich.” “She presents herself as a UN independent expert, yet she is neither an expert nor independent — she is a political activist who stirs up hate speech and undermines the cause of the Palestinian people that she claims to defend.”"

But the motives were not antisemitic — because the attack was against Israel and Israelis,..."
"Look there are different views of what happened on October 7, but the thing is, the violence of that day which was brutal for the Israelis but that brutality there were also fabrications attacked to it, like the mass rape and other horror stories.”

"There might have been people carrying out the attack who might have been motivated by hatred.

Tessa Veksler, a Jewish student leader, is suing the university for ignoring sustained antisemitic harassment and discrimination. She was called a “Zionist dog.” She was accused of supporting genocide. She was subjected to antisemitic tropes. She was targeted inside the Multicultural Center where her office was located. According to the complaint, the University failed to act; the abuse intensified with the full knowledge, consent, and even active participation of one of the University’s representatives. When universities fail to uphold the law, they must be held accountable."
Meme - Oren Barsky @orenbarsky: "The calls for genocide began in the first hours of Hamas’s attack inside Israel’s borders, as they slaughtered, raped, and burned Jewish families. Everything was planned in advance — including the influence campaign on social media and other platforms.

But how about acknowledging that the UN has failed at its job for decades? How about the fact that UNRWA has kept Palestinian Arabs in a perpetual refugee status, actively reinforcing the status quo? How about the UN's ongoing failure to clearly designate Hamas as a terrorist organization? So maybe, just maybe, it's worth giving a chance to this "crazy" committee idea, initiated by the very person responsible for the Abraham Accords. Otherwise, it's fair to assume that the countries refusing to join aren't really interested in peace."

Thread by @v_j_freeman on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Mothin Ali led an antisemitic campaign against a Rabbi working at Leeds University who had briefly served as a border guard in the IDF after 7/10 which led to his young family having to go into police protection as a result of credible death threats. This is simply fact. If you think this man was a legitimate target for Mothin Ali’s demonising campaign where he characterised the Rabbi as an “animal” who was an immediate threat to students, you’re part of the escalating violent threat to British Jews. It’s all part of ‘anti Zionist’ antisemitism. These risks also extend beyond Jews. Lee Rigby was murdered as a result of exactly the same sentiments expressed by Mothin Ali. All those who have served are put at risk if we accept Mothin Ali’s ‘logic’."

John Spencer on X: "I’m a War Scholar. There Is No Genocide in Gaza" / X - "In his New York Times op-ed titled “I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It,” Omer Bartov accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. As a professor of genocide studies, he should know better. Genocide is not defined by a few comments taken out of context, by estimates of casualties or destruction, or by how war looks in headlines or on social media. It is defined by specific intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group in whole or in part. That is a high legal bar. Bartov did not meet it. He did not even try... Bartov claims that five statements by Israeli leaders prove genocidal intent. He begins with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s comment on October 7 that Hamas would “pay a huge price.” That is not a call for genocide. It is what any leader would say after the worst terrorist attack in the nation’s history. He also cites Netanyahu’s statements that Hamas would be destroyed and that civilians should evacuate combat zones. That is not evidence of a desire to destroy a people. It is what professional militaries do when fighting an enemy that hides among civilians. Bartov presents Netanyahu’s reference to “remember Amalek” as a smoking gun. But this is a phrase from Jewish history and tradition. It is engraved at Israel’s Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, and also appears on the Holocaust memorial in The Hague. In both places, it serves as a warning to remain vigilant against threats, not as a call for mass killing. He also highlights Defense Minister Gallant’s use of the term “human animals” to describe Hamas fighters. That is not a war crime. After the slaughter, rape, and kidnapping of civilians on October 7, many would understand or even share that reaction. Unable to find intent among those actually directing the war, Bartov turns to far-right politicians like Bezalel Smotrich and Nissim Vaturi. These individuals do not command troops, issue orders, or shape battlefield decisions. I have studied the actual orders. They focus on destroying Hamas, rescuing hostages, and protecting civilians whenever possible. Their rhetoric is irrelevant to the legal case. Israel has taken extraordinary steps to limit civilian harm. It warns before attacks using text messages, phone calls, leaflets, and broadcasts. It opens safe corridors and pauses operations so civilians can leave combat areas. It tracks civilian presence down to the building level. I have seen missions delayed or canceled because children were nearby. I have seen Israeli troops come under fire and still be ordered not to shoot back because civilians might be harmed. Israel has delivered more humanitarian aid to Gaza than any military in history has provided to an enemy population during wartime. More than 94,000 trucks carrying over 1.8 million tons of aid have entered the territory. Israel has supported hospitals, repaired water pipelines, increased access to clean water, and enabled over 36,000 patients to leave Gaza for treatment abroad. The IDF has coordinated millions of vaccine doses, supplied fuel for hospitals and infrastructure, and facilitated the flow of food and medicine through the UN, aid groups, and private partners. The U.S.–Israeli Gaza Humanitarian Foundation alone has delivered more than 82 million meals—one to two million a day—while weakening Hamas’s control over aid. This is not genocide. It is responsible and historic mid-war humanitarian policy. Bartov cites death tolls from Hamas health authorities without question. He says 58,000 have been killed, including 17,000 children. But these numbers come from a terrorist organization. They mix civilians and fighters and count anyone under 18 as a child, even though Hamas uses teenagers and younger children as combatants. The figures are not independently verified and have been shown to contain false details, including names, ages, and sex. Civilian deaths are tragic, but in Gaza, they are also part of Hamas’s strategy. No military operation is judged solely by body counts or destruction figures. If we used Bartov’s logic, every major war would be called genocide. Two million civilians died in the Korean War, an average of 54,000 per month. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars killed hundreds of thousands. The fight against ISIS leveled multiple cities and killed tens of thousands. None of those wars were considered genocidal. Gaza is not either. War is evaluated based on the actions of commanders, the goals set by leaders, and how well the military follows the laws of war, not by statistics taken out of context. War is hell. It is inhumane, destructive, and ugly. But it is not automatically a crime. Nations must not target civilians. They must follow the rules of distinction, proportionality, and take all possible care to avoid civilian harm. Israel is doing that. I have seen it. In Rafah this summer, Israel spent weeks preparing evacuations. It opened new safe areas and waited until civilians had moved before striking Hamas targets. That operation killed Hamas’s top commander, recovered hostages, and kept civilian deaths very low. It was a clear example of Israel’s extraordinary intent and actions to protect civilians while targeting only Hamas, a part of the story ignored by those who reduce war to headlines and numbers... This is not a campaign of extermination. It is a war against Hamas, a terrorist army embedded in civilian areas by design. The law matters. So does precision. And above all, truth matters."
Arsen Ostrovsky on X - "There is no depths to the depravity of some pro-Palestinian activists. Chiune Sugihara was a Japanese diplomat and Righteous Among the Nations, who risked his life to save over 6,000 Jews during the Holocaust, while he was stationed in Lithuania. Yesterday, his statue in Los Angeles was vandalized with red paint. Defacing the memory of a man who saved thousands of Jews isn’t activism, it’s moral bankruptcy and Holocaust distortion."

David Bernstein on X - "I'm a law professor, and if this "case" was made by a student in a class, he'd fail. Let's start with the fact that you haven't made a case for genocidal intent, that many months after you claimed that starvation was imminent for many Gazans it never happened, that you rely on entirely unconfirmed statistics that Hamas itself doesn't claim to exaggerate the death toll, that you don't separate out combatants in the death toll, that you don't explain what precisely Israel did that was illicit--just people being killed doesn't make for a genocide--and instead try to define "genocide" so broadly (and clearly contrary to the intent of the language you cite) that almost any urban warfare could be deemed genocide."

Allowing journalists to wander around on their own in territory controlled by terrorists is not, and especially not when any time a journalist, pseudo-journalist, or terrorist moonlighting as a journalist sometimes, is killed, the usual suspects put all the blame on said armed forces. Anyway, there was no shortage of cell phone cameras in Gaza, and people routinely claim that Israel targeted and murderer children. when you ask them for video evidence, they give you pictures of blown up buildings, or pictures of bodies with no context. Where are the videos of soldiers doing all the things they are accused of."
Meme - Colin Wight @colwight: "It's worth remembering that in the Revised Disengagement Plan Main Principles," on Gaza, approved by the Israeli government on June 6, 2004. It states: "Israel hopes that the Palestinians will have the sense to take advantage of the disengagement move in order to exit the cycle of violence and rejoin the process of dialogue. The disengagement move has the potential to improve the fabric of Palestinian life and the Palestinian economy." Instead of taking those opportunities Gaza, under the leadership of Hamas, built a structure designed for war. If what's in this video has been destroyed, it's on Hamas. And no one should be surprised if, after the disengagement, and Israel can't see a way forward towards peace."

Hamas is reasserting control in Gaza despite its heavy losses fighting Israel - ""The taxes imposed by Hamas depend on the type and quantity of goods, but prices start at 20,000 shekels and above," he said. "If a trader refuses to pay, force is used and in some cases he is kidnapped or threatened. No one can avoid paying taxes on goods." He told us that traders used a code-word for Hamas when discussing tax payments, so that Israel wouldn't learn that money was being siphoned off to the group. "Hamas now has a database of all the traders who import goods into the Gaza Strip," said the activist Mohammed Diab. "The trader pays in cash, not through bank transfers, so that the flow of funds cannot be traced. It is gradually restoring the system that was in place in the past, but away from the spotlight so it can't be monitored.""

Doctors Without Borders Says Gunmen Are Using a Gaza Hospital, Posing Risk to Patients and Staff - WSJ - "Doctors Without Borders suspended all noncritical services at one of Gaza’s largest hospitals, the group said, alleging that the facility was being used by armed men, some masked, to intimidate and arrest patients and potentially move weapons. The aid group, known by its French initials MSF, said it made the decision to pull services from the Nasser Hospital Complex in Khan Younis after its staff witnessed an uptick in what it called unacceptable acts that it said posed a threat to its team and patients... The Wall Street Journal spoke to two men who said they were detained and interrogated by Hamas at Nasser hospital in recent weeks... Hospitals were a flashpoint during two years of fighting between Israel and Hamas. Nasser hospital and others were sites of extended battles during the war and caused widespread damage to Gaza’s healthcare system. Many international organizations condemned Israel for attacking hospitals, citing their protected status in international law. Israel said Hamas used hospitals to hide senior militants, plan and launch attacks, a charge Hamas denies... A 45-year-old Palestinian man told The Wall Street Journal he was detained by a Hamas street patrol and brought to the orthopaedics department in Nasser hospital for an interrogation. Another Palestinian man said he was detained by Hamas at Nasser hospital for 12 hours. Medical facilities can lose their protective rights if used for hostile acts against enemy combatants, said Emanuela-Chiara Gillard, senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute for Ethics Law and Armed conflict. She said while isolated incidents involving armed individuals might not constitute militarization of a facility, it was the pattern of incidents that threatened the facility’s status. “The accumulation of them is what’s problematic and clearly what’s led MSF to say when you look at them as a whole, we are having here a militarization of parts of this hospital,” she said."
Clearly, they have been infiltrated by "Zionists" and can no longer be trusted!
COGAT on X - "After too long, MSF has finally admitted what Israel has been saying all along: Hamas abuses Nasser Hospital as a terror base. The obvious question is: where was MSF until now? If MSF now acknowledges Hamas’ deep presence in a hospital they work in, why has it repeatedly refused basic transparency—such as submitting staff lists—to ensure its organization has not been infiltrated by Hamas operatives? This is not accountability; it is a late admission after years of choosing to stay in the dark, during which Hamas systematically exploited humanitarian infrastructure."
