The bizarre stupidity of the Hatzola ambulance ‘false flag’ conspiracy theories jewishnews.co.uk/bizarre-stupid…

No discussion of tech media can get past this basic traffic fact: in the AI world, Google and social no longer refer traffic, which means that the vast majority of readers just never find you in the first place. Analysis: growtika.com/blog/tech-medi…

1) This UK government letter refuses to answer whether Israel has committed war crimes or crimes against humanity. It limits its assessment to "the government does not have knowledge to the requisite degree specifically linking F-35 use to internationally wrongful acts in Gaza". This is absurd. The evidence for F-35 jets being used to commit war crimes is as overwhelming as there is evidence for the Moon orbiting the Earth. Like this, for example: amnesty.org/en/latest/news… So rather than repeatedly dodging the question, why don't you just answer: do you think Israel has committed a) war crimes or b) crimes against humanity? Why is this so hard to answer? Let's try this specific question. On 17th March 2024, your then-boss David Lammy said about Israel's blockade of Gaza: "This is a breach of international law." This is a straightforward legal fact. But he then backtracked on his judgment. So answer this: did the Foreign Secretary change his mind and decide that a total blockade imposed on a civilian population isn't a breach of international law, in defiance of the basic facts, or did he backtrack because if the government accepted Israel is in violation of international law, it then had to accept the resulting legal obligations imposed on it? 2) As for the rest: this is genocide denial from a government complicit in genocide. Who to believe? The British government, with its fingerprints all over the crime scene, or a consensus of genocide scholars, such as Israeli academics Omer Bartov and Amos Goldberg, NGOs from Amnesty International to Médecins Sans Frontières, to a UN commission? The claim that there is no evidence of genocidal intent from the Israeli government is obviously insane. If the avalanche of genocidal statements issued by Israeli leaders and officials had been uttered by a regime hostile to the West, you would not only not flinch from concluding that there's genocidal intent, you'd regard it as indecent to suggest otherwise. The truth is, deep down, you know Israel has committed an abominable crime which will scream through the ages. And you know that those complicit will be damned. Which is why your only strategy left is to play a game of deflect - monstering critics of the crime your government helped facilitate as the real dangerous hateful extremists. It might make you feel better, but decent people stopped listening long ago.
