that they haven't actually made a ruling on if its a genocide or not yet, just that they told israel to stop doing things that are coincidentally what one would do while committing a genocide

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?




It's sophistry: trying to make distinction without meaning.

She states the court found Palestine has a plausible claim to the right to be protected from genocide.

She states the court found it's plausible that they need to assert that right lest it be "irreparably harmed."

What action from one people onto another would cause their right to be protected from genocide to be "irreparably harmed?" (it's genocide)

The most charitable explanation for why she's trying to break it down this way is that she doesn't trust people's ability to distinguish between "plausible enough to prosecute" and "legally proven."

‎Israeli officials told their Egyptian counterparts on Friday that Israel was ready to give "one last chance" to reach an agreement with the Islamist group Hamas to release "hostages" in the Gaza Strip before proceeding with the invasion of the city of Rafah.‎

‎One official told Axios that Israel had told Egypt it was serious about its preparations for a ground military operation in Rafah.‎

It's pure racism. They see every country around them in the same bucket as Hamas, and thus think they're all connected.

Remember how enthusiastically they were posting maps of Greater Israel in October, including large parts of Egypt and all of Qatar? Remember when whatshisname, the guy in charge of the IDF, said that's the plan and they're doing it right after they're done with Gaza? Remember how the IDF bombed and shot at Egypt a few times "accidentally"?

Part of the rationale behind saying there's "never been a Palestine" is that if there's a homogenous "Arab world", all of those borders, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, can be redrawn in favour of Israel, because those people can just go live someplace else.

It's an extension of Israel defining itself against the Arabs, not having a constitution that defines its borders, and this delusional claim to fictitious historical lands that can mean whatever they want it to mean.



It's loving preposterous, I mean, the historical record shows nothing like the above ever existed, the Hebrews were minor clients of either the Hittites or Egyptians, not even the most important polity within modern Israel, those would be the Phoenician cities, but, alas, a bunch of 19th century nationalists poured over the Bible and here we are.

It's not to the same degree as young earth creationists, but part of the difficulty of doing archeology in Israel is that they are absolutely delusional about the actual historical record of an independent Jewish state in the region, or any kind of ethnic or religious uniformity within one. It's really, really, hard to overstate that.

For instance, there was not, no way, no how, a state with central administration on the borders so demarcated because against the single literary source, the Bible, we have mountains of literary and material evidence, Hittite, Egyptian, Phoenician, that shows otherwise. Probably there was some minor king, David, who controlled a near-eastern type city state and its immediate agricultural hinterland, but... no the Hittites and Egyptians were not going to let some independent major, centrally administered, state set up in the middle of the region they fought over for hundreds of years.

Well it's like how there wasn't a global communist conspiracy driving the conflicts of the 70's and 80's, but there was a global network of right wing people opposing local left wing movements.

Revolutionaries for the Right: Anticommunist Internationalism and Paramilitary Warfare in the Cold War

Freedom fighters. Guerrilla warriors. Soldiers of fortune. The many civil wars and rebellions against communist governments drew heavily from this cast of characters. Yet from Nicaragua to Afghanistan, Vietnam to Angola, Cuba to the Congo, the connections between these anticommunist groups have remained hazy and their coordination obscure. Yet as Kyle Burke reveals, these conflicts were the product of a rising movement that sought paramilitary action against communism worldwide. Tacking between the United States and many other countries, Burke offers an international history not only of the paramilitaries who started and waged small wars in the second half of the twentieth century but of conservatism in the Cold War era.
From the start of the Cold War, Burke shows, leading U.S. conservatives and their allies abroad dreamed of an international anticommunist revolution. They pinned their hopes to armed men, freedom fighters who could unravel communist states from within. And so they fashioned a global network of activists and state officials, guerrillas and mercenaries, ex-spies and ex-soldiers to sponsor paramilitary campaigns in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Blurring the line between state-sanctioned and vigilante violence, this armed crusade helped radicalize right-wing groups in the United States while also generating new forms of privatized warfare abroad.

The lack of self-awareness... it still shocks you.

“Even though the land could not yet absorb sixteen million, nor even eight, enough could return... to prove that the enterprise was one that blessed him that gave as well as him that took by forming for England a little loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism.”
