The same person who made a video saying no one was being shot… to the sound of gun shots, now says aid is stolen by Hamas after Israeli officials say aid is not stolen by Hamas
UN aid trucks enter Gaza. Fat Hamas terrorists hijack them. Take what they need for their greedy terrorists. Sell the rest to Gazans who (a) are obedient and (b) can afford it. Use the proceeds to pay their obese terrorists and fund terrorism. Lie about Israel withholding aid.

One thing we've learned from studying genocides is that language like this often precedes the mass killing. Otherize, dehumanize, and fearmonger about the target group. This is well documented in Rwanda in 90s and in the 1930s Nazi regime. This is historical fact, not hyperbole.

Disgraceful. The ICC should have issued arrest warrants months ago. The Security Council can still refer the Israel-Lebanon 'situation' to the ICC. But the Court can't deter violations or contribute to peace and security if it refuses to act.

Surprises nobody. Raz is a voice of moral clarity and I hate to see this happen in the face of his bravery.
In a development that should surprise nobody, there is now a campaign to destroy the teaching career of a Prof Raz Segal, the Jewish-Israeli genocide expert who dared to speak the truth and call out the genocide that Israel is carrying out in Gaza: https://t.co/LkIhJbSRbE

Flames, flames, flames on the side of my face
Amid all the panic over the evidence for trans people's health care I need you to understand the Supreme Court just allowed a ban on medical care to take effect in response to an ADF brief that cited an op-ed by Pamela Paul as an authority on the matter
