This article is really just epistemological warfare. It's based exclusively on the word of one investigator who claims to have mountains of evidence, but provides none.
I have never seen an investigator so hostile to the idea of providing evidence for the claims they make...🧵
The organization flat out rejects the idea that they should have to provide evidence for anything!
"Am I the one who needs to provide the evidence for the terrorists’ deeds? What kind of travesty is it that they are imposing the burden of proof on me?"
This is insane!
The article talks about video and eyewitness testimony to demonstrate claims, but it's all exclusively from this woman who says it's not her job to collect evidence.
She said collection of evidence is "secondary" and some of the things she's saying may turn out to be false...
It's the definition of "source: dude trust me"
She attacks international organizations for not talking about this issue and waiting for actual evidence.
She says that since they're criticizing Israel, they are all antisemitic.
Shez preempting the fact that these orgs will contradict her claims if they seriously investigate.
This is absolutely unhinged
"There are journalists who contact me and ask: Did it [a particular rape] really happen? It’s like, what are we even talking about?"
She says there's ample evidence but all Haaretz could come up with was an article that doesn't have ANY information on sexual violence.
She says she refuses to even estimate a number because there are so many unknowns.
What the fuck does she think human NGOs do if not investigate and estimate???
The fact that they can't even produce a single victim really seems to give the game away...
And they've framed their outrage and calls for evidence as some sort of feminist project.
How dare you ask for evidence! You're anti woman and antisemitic
An interviewer even asks if her goal is propaganda, but she assured them that it was not.
All good I guess
If credible evidence emerges then I'll obviously revise but as of now, the only evidence of any SA on 10/7 comes exclusively from a few people who claim to have seen something talking to media outlets.
No victim, image or physical evidence has emerged to corroborate these claims
Had a great incident last night at a bar where some guy erupted when I mentioned that the US provoked Russia to invade Ukraine.
I forget that most people haven't read much of anything beyond the propaganda offensive of 2022 and get really emotional when confronted with new info.
It came out of a conversation when I criticized the US aggression against Russia and China and he asked me "well what's the alternative?"
Got offended when I asked him to point out when NATO had ever defended anything and denied that NATO attacked Libya
One of those types
Recommended a book to him and pointed out that the conversation is fruitless.
Partly posting this in hopes that he sees this, gets pissed again and maybe reads something.
The geniuses from the Atlantic Council have logged on to foreignpolicy dot com!
This time with an insane theory that it was Russia- not the US - who engineered the regime change in Ukraine in 2014
Lets see what they have to say. (Spoiler: it's quite stupid) 🧵
Firstly, it claims that the illegitimacy of Yanukovych's ouster was procedurally fine.
A) The legality is disputed
B) It completely ignores the West's role in engineering events - whether or not it is procedurally "legitimate" or not. This is the heart of the left critique
The whole thesis of this article is that Moscow triggered Yanukovych's departure, hoping that the parliament would oust them, and that this would lead to a civil war, which would allow Russia to invade Ukraine later.
Convoluted... but what is the evidence for the claim?
I feel like I've been pretty chill about it but Indiana university put a sniper on the roof and given that the police radio was talking about me specifically it seems likely that at one point the sniper trained on me directly.
Pretty wild and fucked up honestly
One sneeze, or misinterpreted order away from game over.
Like they can just do that?
Threw me for a loop that there were sniper truthers out there for a bit
