Key omissions in usual "blame Israel" narrative: 1) Hamas command center with operatives, rockets, other arms hiding in what was supposed to be a civilian only humanitarian zone. 2) Multiple lethal rocket attacks vs Israeli civilians launched from humanitarian zone - each a war crime. FYI BBCVerify

Here is #NGOMonitor's detailed analysis of the @amnestyuk.bsky.social "genocide" farce. Probably took us more time to deconstruct their incoherent screed than it took them to string together the usual lawfare propaganda slogans, myths, and antisemitic dog whistles.

To manipulate media coverage,
hate propagandists @amnestyuk.bsky.social sent allied journalists embargoed text. They are under no obligation to play this game, and are encouraged to avoid whitewashing this genocide inversion farce. Here is the embargoed 6 pg summary for non-allied journos etc.

Alternatively, people who identify as Arabs, speak Arabic, mostly Moslem etc - are colonial settlers from Arabia (many via Syria whose families moved south following the late 19th and early 20th century Zionist-led economic growth).

There is no peace agreement. The goal of the Tehran regime & proxy terror armies (Hezbollah, Houthis, etc) remains the destruction of Israel (actual genocide). In response, and based on the lessons of the past 14 months, Israel will act with force and preemptively whenever its survival is threatened

5) For 15 years (since 2009 Goldstone Gaza report farce) much of the Israeli legal establishment, including senior judges & academics, relied on fact-based argumentation (principle of "complementarity") and ignored or severely understated the power politics -- a very costly error in judgement.

4) The US never joined the ICC, even under Obama and Biden, and Congressional leaders will sanction ICC officials. Other governments will eventually follow -- by 2028, the continued existence of the ICC is unlikely.

3) For 25 years, the corrupt & powerful NGO network, led by Israel-obsessed Ken Roth, HRW, Amnesty, etc. and via the UN "Human Rights" Council lobbied & manipulated the ICC hypocrisy & farce. doi.org/10.1080/1353...

2) Mirroring UN hypocrisy, the ICC structure is overly political and controlled by dictatorships & the 55 Islamic bloc - the appointment of "judges" and prosecutor, the choice of "cases", recognition of "Palestine" etc
