🧵At Istanbul University, the "Gaza Tribunal" turned academia into a stage for terror propaganda. Framed as a “people’s court,” it brought together journalists, convicted terrorists and academics like Mahmood Mamdani, father of NYC candidate Zohran Mamdani. Image
Along convicted terrorists, you had Ramzy Baroud, editor of The Palestine Chronicle — a U.S. non-profit posing as journalism, facing a lawsuit for hiring a Hamas terrorist who held 3 Israeli hostages, Mahmood Mamdani, father of NYC candidate Zohran Mamdani and Katie Halper. Image
Image
Image
A @JewishOnliner investigation found that the Gaza Tribunal’s featured speakers tied to designated terror groups. Raji Sourani (PFLP), Sahar Francis of Addameer (U.S.-designated PFLP affiliate), and PIJ convict Sami Al-Arian with Mahmood Mamdani, father of NYC Zohran Mamdani. Image
Image
Image
@AmyMek of @RAIRFoundation has documented Zohran Mamdani’s ties to terrorist sympathizers & extremist networks. Despite evidence allowing the DOJ to investigate & revoke his citizenship, Republicans remain silent enabling Mamdani’s Marxist-Islamic agenda.
Ramy Abdu, chair of Hamas front EuroMed also part of the Gaza Tribunal’s advisory council, was designated by Israel in 2013 as a key Hamas operative in Europe. A nephew of Hamas founder Omar Farwaneh, Abdu’s family and personal ties span Hamas leadership. Image

Image
Ahmed Alnaouq, co-founder of We Are Not Numbers & Outreach Officer for EuroMed, had a brother who fought with Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, killed in 2014. He has repeatedly compared Israel to Nazi Germany and called for the eradication of Zionism in his public posts. Image
Despite this record, he was a guest on Piers Uncensored. When independent journalist @EFischberger exposed Alnaouq’s Hamas connections and his brother’s militant history, Piers blocked him, silencing scrutiny of a guest with clear links to a terrorist network. Image
Jake Romm, representing the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF) in the U.S., spoke at the Gaza Tribunal. HRF, founded by Belgian-Lebanese Hezbollah affiliates Dyab Abou Jahjah and Karim Hassoun, pursues global fabricated war-crime charges against Israeli soldiers. Image

Image
Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian coordinator of the Hamas-linked Freedom Flotilla, joined the Gaza Tribunal via video. A veteran of multiple Gaza flotillas, attended Hezbollah's Nasrallah’s 2025 funeral, calling him “inspiring” and chanting “death to America” Image
Ramzy Baroud spoke at the Gaza Tribunal. He edits the U.S. nonprofit Palestine Chronicle, which employed Hamas operative keeping hostages in his home, now facing a U.S. lawsuit for alledgly supporting Hamas and running a coordinated network of propaganda Image
Ramzy Baroud’s daughter, Zarefah Baroud, is AMP’s digital manager. Both face lawsuits for allegedly providing support to Hamas after October 7. she has participated in Samidoun panels, met senior Hamas figures in Gaza Image
Most recently, Zarefah joined a panel alongside Badr Khan Suri at the 11th Annual Palestine Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C. The event was hosted by Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, closely tied to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood Image
Badr Khan Suri, a Georgetown scholar facing deportation over alleged Hamas ties, is the son-in-law of Ahmed Yousef, senior Hamas leader and advisor to Ismail Haniyeh. Yousef, known as “Hamas’s key to the West,” helped cultivate the West and build the Holy Land Foundation network. Image
Ramzy Baroud sits on the board of the Palestine Media Forum, whose members include others with Hamas ties. A network of journalists, academics, & NGOs, openly aims to “serve the Palestinian cause” including figures like Aby Martins among thousands more. Image
Katie Halper appeared on a Gaza Tribunal panel alongside individuals with known terrorist links. Given her history of anti-Israel propaganda and past collaborations with Ramzy Baroud, questions arise about whether she is connected to the Palestine Media Forum TAWASOL network Image
The Gaza Tribunal includes UN veterans and academics—Richard Falk, Craig Mokhiber, David Whyte, Ussama Makdisi, Wadie Said, Hilal Elver, Michael Lynk, Mouin Rabbani, Christine Chinkin, Georges Abi-Saab, Aslı Bali, and Karim Makdisi—in a forum dominated by terror-linked figures. Image
Image
A WHO doctor revealed that since December 2023, UN officials planned to fabricate a Gaza famine narrative, raising questions about whether top UN figures are implicated in coordination similar to that described in the Baroud lawsuit.
The lawsuit against Baroud alleges coordination between media, academia, NGOs & Hamas. Last year’s Gaza Tribunal included UN’s Francesca Albanese, also co-founder of a legal network whose board features Baroud and others tied to terrorism. Image
The Gaza Tribunal, its participants, and NGOs involvement illustrate the lawsuit’s claim: a coordinated network of media, academics, & terror-linked figures amplifying Hamas propaganda under the guise of scholarship and humanitarian advocacy.

🧵Every few years, Europe "rediscovers" the same idea: two-speed Europe, multi-speed Europe, variable geometry. The terminology changes, but the premise remains the same — some EU states should integrate deeper and faster, while others are pushed to "second class" States. Image
Two-speed Europe” is the idea that the EU should formally accept unequal integration. A core group would advance deeper integration, while others are left out—bound by Brussels’ rules but excluded from decision-making. Sold as flexibility, turns an informal imbalance into a permanent hierarchyImage
What’s new isn’t the idea, but the confidence behind it. Germany has revived it openly, France backs it, others quietly agree. Sold as realism, it dodges the truth: the problem isn’t tiers, it’s the EU itself. Multi-speed Europe isn’t reform—it’s an admission of failure. Image

🧵Almost no one is asking the most important question about Trump’s “Board of Peace”: Is it even constitutional? Here’s why Trump’s “Board of Peace” raises serious constitutional issues that no one is talking about. Image
“Minilateralism,” Non-Binding Commitments, and Why Labels Do Not End the Treaty Inquiry

Some describe the Board as a form of executive “minilateralism,” akin to informal contact groups created without Senate ratification.

The problem, U.S. constitutional law turns on substance, not labels. The Charter does not describe a temporary forum; it creates an enduring institution with legal personality—meaning the capacity to act as an independent legal entity under international law.

Legal personality is decisive because it transforms a diplomatic gathering into a standing organization capable of: Owning property, Entering contracts, Suing and being sued, Acting independently of its member states

Under U.S. law, such status cannot be self-declared. It requires either congressional authorization or designation under the International Organizations Immunities Act (IOIA). The Board satisfies neither. As a result, its claimed legal personality has no domestic legal grounding, even as the United States becomes politically and institutionally bound by creating, staffing, and chairing it.

“Non-binding” does not mean constitutionally irrelevant. As Medellín v. Texas makes clear, obligations may be non-self-executing in U.S. courts yet still bind the United States politically and diplomatically.

Expiration clauses do not cure this problem when renewal authority rests solely with the Chairman, enabling conditional perpetuity outside democratic oversight.Image
Immunities, Domestic Law, and the Limits of Executive Authority

The Charter goes further by asserting that the Board itself shall “ensure” privileges and immunities through agreements negotiated by its own officials. While defenders argue this merely contemplates host-state agreements subject to domestic law, the post explains that this misunderstands how immunity works in the United States.

Under U.S. law, immunity is derivative, not inherent. It can arise only through: Congressional authorization (via statute or treaty), or Presidential designation under the IOIA, which itself presupposes lawful U.S. participation

An organization created unilaterally by the President cannot bootstrap itself into immunity. Executive agreements cannot displace Congress’s control over jurisdiction, courts, liability, or regulatory enforcement. Even if no immunity is ultimately granted, the constitutional problem arises from constructing a framework that treats immunity as an expected institutional attribute, negotiated by executive authority and potentially administered by a self-perpetuating Chairman.

Invocations of UN practice or Security Council resolutions do not resolve this. UN immunities in the U.S. exist because Congress enacted implementing statutes. International endorsement cannot override domestic separation of powers.Image

🧵Thanksgiving wasn’t born in a peaceful colonial feast—it was created by Lincoln in 1863 as a wartime ritual to hold a fractured nation together. Today’s polarized America faces its own internal divide and foreign adversaries eager to exploit it. The holiday’s lesson is clear: unity is national security and the only way to save a divided nation.Image
The myth most people imagine Thanksgiving as a colonial harvest ritual. But the holiday we celebrate today—this national pause for unity—was invented during the Civil War. Yes, Plymouth had a 1621 meal, but it wasn’t called Thanksgiving, wasn’t a tradition and it wasn't repeated.Image
The first real national Thanksgiving was proclaimed on November 26, 1863, in the middle of the Civil War. Lincoln issued it four months after Gettysburg, as the Union was still burying its dead. Thanksgiving wasn’t born from abundance. It was born from national desperation. Image

🧵Israel is passing a new law to “cut water & electricity” to UNRWA. This amendment enforces the 2024 law banning UNRWA from operating in East Jerusalem, clarifying that utilities to its offices—which the agency refuses to close—count as prohibited contact. Image
If you read the headlines about the Knesset voting to cut water and electricity to UNRWA, you would think Israel suddenly woke up one morning and passed new “draconian” legislation targeting the UN agency. In reality, that narrative is not just misleading—it is factually wrong. Image
This isn’t about cutting water or electricity to homes or refugee camps—those aren’t supplied by Israeli companies. The amendment targets UNRWA’s East Jerusalem offices, which the agency refused to vacate. It simply enforces the law. Image

🧵Trump selling the F-3, the world’s most advanced stealth fighter to a regime that doesn’t even recognizes Israel’s existence is not only reckless, it’s potentially illegal. U.S. law requires any defense sale to the Middle East preserves Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge. (QME) Image
Since 2008, U.S. law has required presidents to ensure Israel keeps a clear military edge. Under the Arms Export Control Act, any Middle East arms sale must be certified as not harming Israel’s QME—a mandate reaffirmed in later defense laws. It isn’t custom. It’s statutory. Image
Even downgraded export F-35s alters the balance. QME law requires that no sale diminish Israel’s edge—and stealth can’t be partially exported. Once Saudi Arabia has the F-35, the gap collapses. Israel’s superiority is gone—precisely what the law forbids.

🧵Many believe only Security Council resolutions “under Chapter VII” are binding. That’s a myth. The UN Charter makes clear that legal force comes from the Council’s authority and the resolutions' operative language—not from magic words. Image
Article 25 of the Charter, obligates UN members to carry out Security Council decisions. Chapter VII adds enforcement tools like sanctions or force, but doesn’t limit the resolution's binding authority. Image
Operative verbs determine whether a UN Security Council resolution is binding: “Decides” & “Demands” bind states; “Calls upon,” “Urges,” “Recommends,” & “Welcomes” do not. Binding force comes from wording, not Chapter VII. Image
