@Mr_Andrew_Fox "Fun" fact: if Arab countries had left Palestinians alone in 1948 and hadn't decided to militarily destroy Israel, Palestinian Arabs would have had no choice but to accept the UN partition plan. There would now be two states and maybe peace...

“Your work here is done. All the genocide libels are falling apart under scrutiny, so we have no more need of you, but you helped set the dogs of Jew-hate running worldwide. We have used you, Palestinian scum, now your Arab betters discard you.”

@quatremer @srodan @DrLiz16 @EmmanuelMacron Bon, il n'est pas le seul : la stratégie de l'autruche est devenue le leitmotiv d'une Europe qui pense que si on fait semblant que les institutions internationales vont bien et qu'elles défendent les droits humains et la démocratie, cela deviendra une réalité...

La France prétend défendre l’universalité des droits de l’homme, mais elle célèbre aujourd’hui la reconduction précipitée et sans précédent d’un Haut-Commissaire dont le mandat est devenu, pour beaucoup, le symbole de leur instrumentalisation politique.
En se réjouissant publiquement de « l’isolement » des États-Unis, la diplomatie française fait non seulement preuve d’une « schadenfreude » déplacée, mais elle ne défend pas les droits de l’homme : elle défend un système dont la sélectivité, les doubles standards et la politisation ont progressivement détruit la crédibilité.
Voilà des années que ce système sape sa propre légitimité. Les États-Unis n’ont pas créé cette crise ; ils l’ont simplement rendue visible.
Chaque décision de ce type enfonce un peu plus le dernier clou dans le cercueil d’un système qui, à force d’être instrumentalisé, ne protégera bientôt plus personne. Les seuls à s’en réjouir sont les véritables bourreaux des droits de l’homme : Vladimir Poutine, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un et les autres autocrates qui prospèrent lorsque les institutions internationales perdent toute crédibilité.

Hospitals, journalists, killing kids, all the rest; now we can the total collapse of famine/starvation allegations: x.com/eirikschr/stat…
All the blood libels have all fallen apart already. In a righteous world, the media and “genocide scholars” and all the other academics who published fake papers (hi, the Lancet), all the politicians who pushed blood libels, all of them, should be apologising and drummed out of polite society.
Andrew Fox@Mr_Andrew_Fox
For over two years, we told you: Hamas used hospitals for military purposes. The dead “journalists” were combatants. Hamas used child soldiers. That aid was being diverted by Hamas. Tens of thousands of the dead and wounded in Gaza were combatants. Hamas used human shields. And so many other things, all of which are now proven as incontrovertibly true. Yet, not a whisper to set the story straight from the global media who pushed the genocide and war crimes lies since 7th October.

The pro-Palestine virtue signalers and savior-complex grifters have no moral authority.
They’ve risked nothing while profiting off Gaza’s tragedy.
For Israelis it’s a catastrophe,
for the Palestinians and their supporters it’s a calculated strategy.

@hahussain I'm afraid it can't happen for the next decades. MBS could see himself make peace with Israel when he was successful. But now the Saudi leadership is utterly failing. And the problems are structural. From now on MBS will just use Israel as a scapegoat.
English
Great! Because I was in the room when it was drafted at the Beirut Arab Summit in 2002. The sticking point in this plan is that it demands a Judenrein (Jewish free) Palestine, and demands that Israel, where Arabs are already one fifth of the population, accept the “right of return” of 5.9 million Arabs to Israel. That’ll make Israel half Arab, half Jewish, and therefore, the Jewish state will be a few years away from disappearing.
For the Saudi two-state to work, Palestinians and Arabs should accept Jewish sovereignty, aka Zionism. Then, there’ll be an Arab/Muslim Palestine next to a Hebraic/Jewish Israel. If Saudis or Palestinians ever propose such a plan, watch them grab Israel’s attention.

@hahussain Fahd Plan of 1981 and the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002. But again you know that and I already know what hackneyed points you’ll bring about it. The idea that Saudis want “destruction of the Jewish state” is entirely unserious

@afalkhatib Palestine has become the tool with which the enemies of the West are trying to destroy the West from within.
That's not the Palestinians' fault and it isn't linked to Palestinian aspirations. But it something that needs to be understood and taken into account.
English
It's beyond obvious: some elements who proclaim to be part of the so-called "pro-Palestine" & "anti-Zionist" movements are antisemitic, pro fascist, pro-Nazi, pro-Jihadi, agents of hatred and sabotage who will invert history & reality to support their vile hatred and extremism.🤮

@elicalebon Both are disruptive ideologies. But they mainly align because Communists are morons who think Islamists are their friends and Islamists are more than happy to temporarily ally themselves with morons to gain power and slaughter them later.
English
Why do Communists and Islamists always align?
Because both share the common objective of destroying the free world for a collective dream.
The Communist seeks to subordinate individual autonomy to a collective material identity.
The Islamist seeks to subordinate individual autonomy to a collective religious identity.
They both have to kill the same enemy: the individual.

Live performance on Swedish tv, the singer sings “we can go anywhere except for Tel Aviv.”
The funny thing is she can go to Tel Aviv, but if she goes to Gaza looking like that, Palestinians would stone her to death.

@hahussain Funny how I've never seen even one of these genocide claimers call on Egypt to let Gazans escape the supposed genocide. Does it make them accessories to imagined genocide?... 🤔

Some people think they own the truth and definitions. They rarely debate, only repeat talking points to make them stick.

Seen a number of people sharing this because it reaffirms their priors, but it's really not a good rebuttal, it's a confession that Stephens doesn't understand the definition of genocide.

Britain stopped selling Israel bombs a long time ago (under the Conservative government), the only remaining involvement in procurement is things like the joint F-35 programme, unfortunately none of the people loudly campaigning on the issue have bothered to research the matter.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @brhodes The IDF is actually the most moral army in the world. Not because Israelis are intrinsically more moral. But because the world holds the IDF at far higher standards than the rest.
It doesn't mean all IDF soldiers are moral people though. They're human beings.

@brhodes He is not, and certainly not on the grounds stated at the time of the ICC warrants.
Here is the testimony, disregarded by the ICC Prosecutor, of a number of senior retired generals and equivalents from across NATO:

Many people taking issue with Mamdani calling Netanyahu a war criminal don't even bother making the case that Netanyahu is not a war criminal - because by any honest reading of intl law he is.

Asked about Guterres’ rushed bid to renew Volker Turk, UN claims “consultations” & “transparent” process.
Yet there was no open call for candidates, and no public debate on Turk's selective silence on China, Iran, Cuba.
Democracies must demand real scrutiny—not a rubber stamp.
UN Watch@UNWatch
Associated Press: “Does the Secretary-General have any comment on a published report that he is trying to push through a second term for UN Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk without consideration of any outside consultations or candidates?” 🇺🇳 UN Spokesperson: “Look, the Secretary-General is following the resolution and following the rules. The resolution that creates the post of High Commissioner for Human Rights says that that person is appointed for four years with a mandate that can be renewed for a further four years. Consultations have been had with member states. There is now a process that will go underway in the General Assembly and I can tell you everything is being done above board and in a very transparent manner and in accordance with established rules and regulations. And I will add of course that the Secretary-General has very much appreciated the work that Volker Türk has done in his term as High Commissioner for Human Rights.”

LE HAMAS PRÉPARAIT UN « 7-OCTOBRE » EN EUROPE : UNE ENQUÊTE RÉVÈLE UN VASTE RÉSEAU CLANDESTIN S'appuyant sur des documents des services de renseignement allemands et des procédures judiciaires en cours, le Neue Zürcher Zeitung révèle que le Hamas aurait constitué des cellules dormantes, des caches d'armes et des filières logistiques dans plusieurs pays européens. Selon l'enquête, ce dispositif devait permettre de lancer un « 7 octobre européen », en référence à l'attaque menée contre Israël en 2023. Des opérations de police en Allemagne, en Autriche, au Danemark, au Royaume-Uni, en Grèce et à Chypre ont permis la découverte d'armes, d'explosifs et l'arrestation de plusieurs suspects. En Allemagne, quatre membres présumés du Hamas ont déjà été condamnés dans ce dossier. Les autorités judiciaires allemandes accusent ces individus d'avoir préparé des caches d'armes destinées à de potentielles attaques contre des intérêts israéliens et juifs en Europe. À ce stade, les autorités n'ont toutefois pas confirmé publiquement l'existence d'un plan opérationnel baptisé « 7 octobre européen » : cette appellation provient de l'enquête du quotidien suisse et des hypothèses évoquées par les services de sécurité. #actu #hamas #terrorisme #europe

Mamdani doesn’t care about the Palestinians. If he did, his focus would be on helping create a future where Palestinians can live in peace and prosperity alongside Israel as their Abrahamic neighbor- not on inflammatory rhetoric and political theater.
For decades, the Palestinian cause has been used by politicians, Islamists, and far-left activists as a tool to build movements, raise money, win elections, and radicalize young people. Meanwhile, ordinary Palestinians continue to suffer.
If those exploiting this cause truly cared about Palestinians, wouldn’t they have spent their energy building institutions, promoting peace, and supporting a viable future instead of glorifying perpetual victimhood & conflict?
The Palestinian cause has become a rallying cry for a red-green alliance of Islamists and far-left activists who share a common goal: dividing Western democracies, portraying America and its allies as the enemy, and mobilizing people through grievance rather than solutions.
Israel is not the end goal—it is the symbol they attack. The broader battle is over the values of the West: democracy, pluralism, religious freedom, and the rule of law.
We should have the courage to ask who is actually helping Palestinians—and who is simply using their suffering for political power.

@mboudry @bartov_omer To know it's not a genocide, you just need to have a shallow grasp of mathematics: during the Rwandan genocide, about 100,000 people per week were murdered using mostly machetes.
1) The IDF has deadlier weapons than machetes.
2) Less than 100,000 Gazans died in 3 years.

Devastating review of @bartov_omer's new book by fellow historian and genocide scholar Benny Morris. But why should Bartov care that his arguments have been dismantled with evidence and historical analysis in a small magazine like @Quillettte? He is destined for yet another round of "moral striptease" (@MattiFriedman) across the global the world, as liberal elites celebrate him as another Repentant Jew ("See, even Israelis admit it now!")
"What happened during the IDF counter-offensive in Gaza’s streets—it was a war—was so unlike “genocide” that even a casual reader of genocide literature, say about the Holocaust or the Turkish Muslim massacre of Asia Minor’s Christian communities during 1894–1924, could not avoid noticing the stark differences."
"Actual genocides pan out differently. In the Holocaust, Germans and their helpers across Europe raided houses and districts, rounded up Jews, shot some on the spot and herded the rest into cattle cars, imprisoned them in ghettoes where they died of disease and hunger, or ferried them directly to woods and camps where they were shot or gassed, man, woman and child. Similarly, the Muslim Turks who murdered up to a million Armenians in 1915–16 in Asia Minor and the Syrian and Iraqi deserts did not warn their intended victims to flee. They rounded them up, shot dead the able-bodied males, and sent the women, children and elderly on death marches into the mountains and deserts, where most died."

Disgusted by the genocide libel, which Mamdani repeats as often as he can?
There’s horrific precedent to it.
Read @adam_louis52328’s latest essential piece in the WSJ. It will blow your mind.
“In the wake of the 1994 genocide, Alison Des Forges, then a senior adviser to Human Rights Watch, pointed to genocide inversion as a central means of justifying the genocide against the Tutsis. In rhetoric such as Hutu extremist Léon Mugesera’s 1992 speech, Tutsis were cast as invaders bent on extermination of the Hutus. Such false accusations—especially those
that target a population with collective guilt—came to be recognized in later court cases as key indicators of incitement to genocide.”
