The "Israeli genocide" propaganda in this is boilerplate. The real interest is the extensive, insistent first-person testimony about how comfortable life in Gaza was before 7 October 2023: everyone had disposable income, lots of places to spend it, etc. aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…
The narrative moved from "Gaza is an open-air prison" or concentration camp, to "Gaza was an idyllic place senselessly destroyed in an Israeli genocide" after 7 October: comparing Israelis to Nazis is the point; the facts are made to fit that premise.

Baffled that a journalist could write this tweet, read it back, and think, "Yeah, this constitutes evidence for the horrific and logistically implausible accusation of criminality I'm making." Incredibly embarrassing, and much worse in what it says about the NYT editorial process
Had forgotten Kristof was fooled by Somaly Mam, the Cambodian fake "trafficking victim", and insisted even when admitting the deception we not "lose sight of the larger issue" she lied about.

The gullible Kristof I remember was a little earlier, in Iran.archive.nytimes.com/kristof.blogs.…
'Tis literally a case of the "feverish denunciations of Israel" Rep Josh Gottheimer spoke of. Amazing Favreau thinks this reflects badly on Gottheimer. Image

Al-Jazeera style guide:
- ISIS, Al-Qaeda not "terrorists" or even "Islamists"
- Muslim Brotherhood not "an Islamic/Islamist group"
- Armenian massacres not "genocide", but Srebrenica is
- "jihad means an inner spiritual struggle"
- Muslims not "fundamentalist"; Christians can be
Al-Jazeera style guide:
- Never refer to Israel as "the Jewish State"
- "never refer to [Jerusalem] as the capital of Israel"
- When Israelis go to the Temple Mount call it an "incursion": "Don't call it a 'visit'."
- Not allowed to refer to IDF
- Post-2005 Gaza "is occupied"
Al-Jazeera's style guide says #Israel's requests for delays on reporting soldiers' deaths so families can be told should be defied, but #China's belief that Taiwan "is not a country" should be rigorously adhered to and #Iran's Press TV must not be called "State TV".

In a surprise to exactly nobody, the captured HAMAS documents show how closely and directly the terrorists coordinated with Al-Jazeera to decide on the political warfare ludicrously labelled as "news coverage" to be broadcast by the Qatari State channel. terrorism-info.org.il/en/documentary…
"Across all its platforms, Al Jazeera spread the psychological warfare materials produced by the Combat Media Unit of Hamas ... In many cases, Hamas' military wing even used its channels to announce exclusive new content to be broadcast on Al Jazeera"
The most notorious part of Al-Jazeera's collaboration with HAMAS's psychological warfare was broadcasting Israeli hostage statements tortured out of them by HAMAS, calling for Israel to comply with HAMAS's demands, and the sick handover "ceremonies".

This is deeply embarrassing for all concerned - the experts and the journalists breathlessly relaying their claims. The more true it is that "genocide scholars" think they have a case study in Israel's anti-HAMAS war, the more discredit it brings on the field.
Amusing to see those trying to foster the notion of an expert consensus that Israel is committing "genocide" by fighting HAMAS insist the experts interviewed are not activists and that no comparison is being made with the Holocaust. They protest too much.
Every claim of genocide at least implicitly invokes the Holocaust. Apart from the Shoah being the historical context for the codification of genocide, it is the unique, "pure" instance: Jews posed no threat to the German State, and the attempt to annihilate them was total.

This is a completely anodyne statement of compassion and prudence - it is rather well attested that there is a contagious aspect to suicide. But the replies are absolutely unhinged from the "pro-Palestine" set. A truly suicidal movement, in every respect.
If Aaron Bushnell, the US airman who immolated himself, is to be taken seriously ideologically - rather than us mourning the suicide of a disturbed person - the results are not pretty.

He was a straight-out HAMAS supporter, thought Israel was the Nazis of our time

Aaron Bushnell, the US airman who immolated himself, was very clear that he thought HAMAS kidnapping and slaughtering Israelis at the music festival of October 7 was justified. He thought all Israelis were settlers and made his Nazi allusion again, people having fun beside a camp

#Israel's opening presentation before the ICJ show trial was very dignified and soberly done, not just by comparison with the raft of hysterical lies from the ANC's South Africa.
A point #Israel made at the ICJ that it should have made more of before now: "genocide" describes Oct. 7 and HAMAS' public political program. The Genocide Convention mandates action to prevent or to punish. So, why have others not joined the operation to eliminate HAMAS?
If the ANC's South Africa was so concerned about genocidal actors in former Mandate Palestine, it would have arrested HAMAS official Basem Naim in early December. Instead, Naim was feated and presented with a Mandela grandchild, who is an ANC MP, of course
