There are "reasonable grounds" to believe that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories said on Tuesday.

    I just double checked. This was NOT yet published in the NY Times or Washington Post.

    This is a big deal. The UN doesn’t throw the term genocide around lightly. And I thank the OP for linking directly to their site to give as unadulterated a reporting as possible.

    When questioned about this report Biden admin state dept spokesperson Matthew Miller accused its author of antisemitism and disregarded the accusation of genocide without justification.

    Seems like the accusation of antisemitism stems from a claim she made that there is a strong Jewish lobby in America, and from mocking Macrons statement that Oct 7 was the greatest antisemitic incident “this century”, a century shared with WW2. I suppose one could argue he meant the century starting from 2000 but it feels odd to evoke a hundred year period when you’re referring to less than a quarter of that.

    Jesus Christ, this is obvious to anyone who has eyes and is willing to spend 30min-60min. Looking for proof/videos/evidence/etc. It does exist by now. Is not hard.

    Clearly, everyone seems afraid to call out Israel. Why do you think this is the case? And it is not just the US, UK, France, Germany, Canada, among others, no one wants to do it.

    Why does it HAVE to be South Africa, Brazil and now Ireland? Because if not them, no one else?
