@jjz1600 I've looked at the actual legal definition of apartheid. Those accusing Israel of apartheid are knowingly lying. And I've shown this. No one has found any holes in my arguments.
Falsely accusing Israel of apartheid using made up definitions is indeed antisemitism.
@jjz1600 And if you look at the history of the apartheid libel, it is blindingly obvious that the accusation came first, and the fake legal arguments were created after the fact to justify the lie.
@btselem 's definition was absurd - it could prove that JEWS were victims of apartheid.
@jjz1600@btselem So @HRW tried, very hard, to combine definitions from the Rome Statute with the ICERD to make it look like Israel was guilty of apartheid. But they ignored the part of ICERD that exonerates Israel. It was a conscious lie, and every legal scholar knows it.
It is clear: they all know they are wrong but they want to accuse Israel so much they MADE UP INTERNATIONAL LAW.
@jjz1600@btselem@hrw@amnesty But even worse, in these NGOs' Jew-hating zeal, they want to make Israel look uniquely guilty. So the cases of real apartheid in the world, like Lebanese treatment of Palestinians, or Chinese of Uyghurs, others - are shunted aside and not given that label. Real victims suffer.
@jjz1600@btselem@hrw@amnesty When you look at all the evidence and history, (the Soviets made up the accusation,) the desire to paint Israel with the label of apartheid has NOTHING to do with real facts, and everything to do with a desire to demonize the Jewish state. This is antisemitism, plain and simple.

@jr_feiteira@PalestineOpp Anti-Zionism is the modern (and socially acceptable) version of antisemitism. My book describes it in great detail. The unhinged loathing you see for Israel and Zionists have few parallels beyond historic hate of Jews. (And Palestinians admit they hate Jews in Arabic.)
@jr_feiteira@PalestineOpp Anti-Zionists will claim that they are only supporting human rights, or opposing Israeli policies. But there is an entire NGO industry dedicated to making up or exaggerating Israeli crimes without context and without comparison to others. See this: elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/07/ben-an…
@jr_feiteira@PalestineOpp In order to accuse Israel of "apartheid," for example, Amnesty and HRW had to create an entirely new definition of apartheid that only applies to Israel. Now haters can point to that and claim Israel is worse than anyone - which is objectively absurd. elderofziyon.blogspot.com/search?q=defin…
Saying that "audio analysis shows the shooter was 170-195 meters away" means that a group that is over 210 meters away from the camera CANNOT have shot the gun, not that they MUST have fired the gun."
Here's the @NYTimes illustration of Abu Akleh, the IDF & the position of the camera. I added exactly where the IDF lead vehicle was, showing it is too far for those shots. I show two potential Palestinian sniper positions that no other analyst even considers despite witnesses.
@nytimes A reminder: We have on video a resident pointing out multiple shooter positions in buildings, pointing in that direction. Both main witnesses to the shooting originally said they came from buildings; the IDF wasn't in buildings.Southern potential position is ideal for snipers.
@nytimes@PatrickKingsley At least the NYT notes the other militants on video to the southeastand finds no line of sight, which no one else did. Somehow - I'm trying to find out - they extended the audio analysis to include, barely, the distance to the IDF. However, it is still lacking major facts.

@nytimes@PatrickKingsley It does not account for the witnesses, on video, that saw snipers to the southeast.
It does not account for journalists who said initially that the fire was "across" from them and from "buildings."
THERE WERE NO IDF SOLDIERS SHOOTING FROM BUILDINGS.
