A "Muslim ban" against "two"(!!) very specific(!!) people is self-evidently…not…that. Not is it a "female ban" or "ban" on people whose last names end with a consonant. Not did Obama didn't implement a "Hindu ban" when he banned Modi.
One other thing, @Ilhan. If denying entry to two Muslims is a "Muslim ban," what's it called when you advocate for the boycott of 7 million Jews?
Autocorrect hates Jews.
One silver lining to this latest burst of shouting about Israel is that we get a way to identify those with zero shreds of credibility. Who? No, not those who oppose the policy on principle. Not those who support it on principle. But those pretending it's somehow a "Muslim ban."
Good point. The country has also prevented Jewish anti-Israel agitators (see: Ariel Gold) from entering. So… "Jewish ban."

Not only is 25% not "an overwhelming majority" of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, as claimed by Amnesty director Agnes Callamard…

But the Association is also full of non-scholars, e.g. MD Nidal Jboor, who just lauded "freedom fighters," aka genocidal Hamas. Image
Image
Here, at the extremist "People's Conference for Palestine," the self-appointed "genocide scholar" cheers freedom fighters. I wonder how he voted.

Even putting aside those who partisanship is so obvious… is the former Metropolitan police officer who went on to study photography and photojournalism any more of a genocide scholar than Dr. Freedom Fighters above? Image

How unserious is "genocide scholar" Raz Segal?

When he claimed, less than a week after Hamas's massacre, that Israel is guilty of genocide, he *led* with this.

Gallant called Hamas "animals." Biden said their attack was "evil."

Calling a massacre "evil" is genocide. Image
(That "complete siege," by the way, ended almost as soon as it started.)
Raz Segal's next piece of evidence? A lie.

The US dropped 17,500 munitions on Afghanistan in 2.5 months. Image

The FIRST PARAGRAPH of Suzy Hansen's NY Mag piece already shares a concocted lie — one repeated again at the piece's conclusion.

There's no girl videotaping and crying. It's doctored video — the audio spliced on for effect.

The rest of her piece is hardly more forthright. Image
What did the person who we hear crying actual think about the unrelated video?

"I don't understand what the point of you editing it and putting my voice over it… May God curse you." Image
3/ That "curse" was directed at whoever first doctored the video, not to Hansen, who used it as her opening and closing hook.

But with Hansen, as with the video editor, we know the point. To manipulate her audience. To "improve" an already grim story for effect.

More to come.

The knowledge that if I'm ever shot in the back then repeatedly shot while crawling away, the @nytimes will wax philosophical about my murderers… Image
"some hint of acceptance"
–@nytimes Image

Image
Image
"Armed struggle for Palestinian freedom."
–@nytimes about the Jewish museum shooting, because what can I say, they're clearly sympathetic to murder if and only if it's the murder of Jews and Israelis Image

The online campaign to blame Jews for what attackers characterized as a "Jew hunt, which included miscaptioned video that spread on X, made its way to mainstream media.
(🧵)
⇝ The New York Times insisted it had video of Israelis chanting that there are no children in Gaza. Were they duped by the widely circulated miscaptioned video?

After initially stonewalling, the paper informed @CAMERAorg it had no such video, and published corrections. 🧵
⇝ The Media Line claimed it had video of the same chant. After @CAMERAorg called for substantiation, it admitted it had no such video. It quietly corrected its piece to refer to a "reported" chant.

⇝ Same claim, and same stealth correction from the Jewish Chronicle. 🧵

The @nytimes anti-Israel bias isn't organic.

It's not an authentic reflection of events.

The paper intentionally hires extremists.

Yet another example: To help cover Israel after Israelis were slaughtered on Oct. 7, the NYT turned to… a former Electronic Intifada editor. Image
2/ Electronic Intifada is a pro-Hamas, PRO-OCT 7, rape-denying outlet. Here they describe Cassel as their former editor.

And yes, Cassel also worked for Al Jazeera (which I sometimes call the Holocaust denial network, owing to their habit of denying the Holocaust). Image
3/ Seems Cassel was going back and forth last November between producing content for Al Jazeera and for the NYT.
