¹ Hamas exploits international law not only by violating it, but by weaponizing global reaction against Israel.

The pattern is:

Hamas violates humanitarian law → Violation is ignored or normalized → Israel is blamed for harm caused by the violation

A thread of examples 🧵

² Hamas invades Israel and massacres hundreds of civilians → Atrocities are denied or celebrated as resistance → Israel is blamed for a brutal response

³ Hamas uses child soldiers → Minor fighters are either denied or justified as radicalization → Israel is accused of killing children

Well before @RealCandaceO was a right-wing grifter, and even before she was a left-wing grifter, she lied about having to drop out of the University of Rhode Island because her family was poor *and* she couldn’t *pay back* student loans.

She was always a con artist.

Here she is claiming to grow up in poverty, even though she’s from Stamford, CT, which is very affluent.

But even supposing she did live in poverty (there are poor people in Stamford), she would have qualified for 100% student financial aid, even for attending an out of state school. She would not have been saddled with $100K in debt by her third year.

It might not be a genocide…

🧵

If the victims’ leaders glorify the deaths of women and children as necessary sacrifice and invite more, it might not be a genocide.

If the victims’ leaders keep rejecting ceasefire offers, it might not be a genocide.

¹ If you search YouTube today for “zionism”, the top result is this video by Turkish state-owned media. It is pure propaganda filled with deliberate lies and omissions.

It’s worth addressing its arguments, because they’re very common in anti-Zionist circles.

[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]
What is Zionism? Zionism is a political and national movement aimed at creating and sustaining a Jewish state in the Middle East. Now, according to many traditional and Orthodox Jewish teachings, Jews are forbidden by God to have their own state until their messiah comes.³ But this hasn’t stopped Zionism from pushing towards that very goal.

So where did this all start? Let’s go back to 1897. A man named Theodor Herzl formed the World Zionist Organization. He advocated for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine and is even mentioned in the Israeli Declaration of Independence. It was tough to be a Jew in Europe at that time, with antisemitic sentiments rising. Herzl felt the only way for his people to live in peace was for them to have their own country. Palestine was chosen, and a popular slogan started spreading around the world: “A land without a people for a people without a land.”⁴

The only problem was, Palestine wasn’t a land without a people. A large number of Muslims and Christians, along with a smaller number of Jews, had been living there together in peace for centuries.⁵ But for many Christian Zionists living in the West and Jewish Zionists living in Europe, that made little difference.

Following the fall of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I, and along with British support, Jewish immigration to the newly British-occupied Palestine was steady in the early 20th century. Then there was a turning point: World War II. Following the Holocaust, the flow of Jews to occupied Palestine boomed, and many Western countries began backing the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine. Although a U.N. resolution recommended both an independent Arab and Jewish state in the region, Israel went ahead and declared their independence in 1948⁶ and was recognized by U.S. President Harry Truman that very same day. The Zionist movement had achieved its main victory.

In the period after its establishment, Israel carried out an invasion of neighboring countries,⁷ and at the end of the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel extended its control in the region, displacing countless Christian and Muslim Palestinians. A year later, the 28th World Zionist Congress adopted the Jerusalem Program,⁸ a list of five goals which are the current makeup of modern Zionism: the unity of the Jewish people and the centrality of Israel in Jewish life⁸; the in-gathering of the Jewish people in its historic homeland; the strengthening of the State of Israel, which is based on the prophetic vision of justice and peace; the preservation of the identity of the Jewish people through the fostering of Jewish and Hebrew education; and the protection of Jewish rights everywhere.

In practice, their goals of justice and peace have been lost to many of the non-Jewish people living in the region.⁹ The Israeli military has been illegally controlling and occupying much of Palestine, and constant new illegal settlement building on Palestinian land by the Zionist state has been condemned by much of the international community.

So, what do you think about Zionism?¹⁰
[END TRANSCRIPT]

³ “According to many traditional and Orthodox Jewish teachings, Jews are forbidden by God to have their own state until their messiah comes.”

False. This is a fringe opinion held by a tiny minority of Orthodox Jews, most famously by Neturei Karta, a sect founded in 1938. Even though they make splashy headlines for aligning with Israel's worst enemies, they number only a few thousand worldwide. The vast majority of Orthodox Jews support Zionism. This framing distorts both Jewish law and the broad historical support and Jewish sovereignty.

Since its founding, Zionism had its critics, many of them Jews who promoted assimilation over nationhood. The Holocaust and the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Arab countries revealed just how dangerously naive that was.

Guys, stop constantly accusing @ComicDaveSmith of guilt by association!

🧵

Quick non-sarcastic disclaimer:

There are degrees of guilt by association. This isn’t a cheap shot at Dave for casual proximity to people with abhorrent views. I hold him accountable for consistently defending them, never challenging their bigotry, downplaying it as hyperbole or dark humor, and continuing to engage with them on related topics in ways that lend them unearned credibility.

He can’t grow his public influence while pretending he bears no responsibility for the toxic discourse he fuels. If he secretly disagrees with their views, then he’s a coward for staying silent. If he doesn’t, it’s worse. Either way, he owns it. He’s playing with the big boys now.

Anyhow, on to the charges…

Don’t accuse @ComicDaveSmith of guilt by association for denying that @RealCandaceO is antisemitic and insisting that she is a woman of “true integrity” who “has nothing against Jewish people”.
