To give you an idea how the IDF lies, a year ago, The Guardian published a piece quoting an IDF Spokesman that the IDF saw “no difference” between Hamas’ TV network and its military wing. The IDF quickly issued a “clarification” denying this. But now they want to normalise it so:
It’s “the IDF doesn’t target hospitals” all over again

I agree with @owenjonesjourno here and I’d caution against views that only frame “terrorism” from its problematic uses in the Western authoritarian gaze. These views risk Eurocentrism and the erasure of non-Western experience. Terrorism doesn’t only exist in a West/non-West axis
Indigenous Peruvians talk about the Shining Path in the context of the Manchay Tiempo (the Time of Fear/Terror) and talk about their fight against them as a fight against “the terrorists”. In Argentina, collective memory has framed the Junta’s atrocities as “state terrorism”
Palestinians in the West Bank have every right to call Settlers “terrorists” and to counter accusations of terrorism with evidence of Zionist terrorism too. All of these discourses are not framed in the same problematic West/non-West binary

I can’t believe how incredibly stupid this is. I’m sorry this garbage deserves no scholarly respect. It’s called a *threshold* of harm BECAUSE THERE IS A THRESHOLD. Not every harm counts. If I call an IDF soldier a doo doo head I’m “harming” them, but not in legally relevant ways Image
Obviously, “shaping a narrative against the IDF” (even if that were what Gaza journalists do - it isn’t) is below that threshold. If Fox had done even the most basic of lit revs he would have come across the ICTY Prosecutor’s Report on the NATO Bombing Campaign of Serbia: Image
There obviously also is no *DIRECT* causal link between the “narrative” and operational constraints because a tv signal cannot stop a tank. The link is by definition INDIRECT and so journalists are not *directly* participating in hostilities by doing “unfavourable” coverage

I don’t get this viral trend of extremist Zionists sharing long-form testimonials about why they wont go on his show. It’s a bizarro negative-earth virtue signalling where it makes you popular to advertise you care about defending war crimes too much to tolerate any pushback
Yes, he interrupts his guests. Boo hoo, how mean. Are you serious? You’re defending one of the worst atrocities of this century and you’re the victim? Seriously these porcelain dolls would not last a day as Palestinians.
Imagine being genocided for 2 years, literally having your children shot in the head by people looting the underwear of the women they killed to humilliate them. You go on any tv show and before you can even say a word you are asked if you condemn the violence done to them first

This is… not a very good argument? Of course the meaning of the sky has changed over time (and space). From hunter gatherers tracing stars for navigation to the home of [the] God[s] to modern-day astrophysics, the sky has *meant* many different things for many different people
You can argue the “nature” of the sky never changed, that it was a constant regardless of social meaning all you want. When you see a beautiful sunset, you don’t think “this is lovely because it is just a giant ball of gas refracting light through water vapour at an angle”
Most of the time what the sky is and is not for us has little to do with astrophysics. Astrophysics is important, but it’s not the “one true nature” of the social construct we call “the sky”

For many Zionists it is simply methodologically impossible to conclude Israel is committing genocide, in Gaza or anywhere, bc Israel can’t genocide, period. Which is why it is important to be cautious with lists of scholars who say Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza
If they believe this because they believe Israel is incapable of committing genocide, as opposed to their reading of a definition, their view is unreliable. I explain this in further detail here:

“What is the Academic Consensus on the Gaza Genocide?”
(Looking at you, Salo Aizenberg’s list)
