Amnesty International: Israel Is Carrying Out Genocide
Amnesty International knows on which side its bread is buttered, and is a broken record, just like Russian/Putin's influencers here and other social media.
Even Israeli branch of Amnesty Int'l (actually on the ground there) disagreed with their parent org "declaration":
Israeli section of Amnesty International does not accept the accusation that Israel is committing genocide, based on the information available to us...
Germany joins US in rejecting Amnesty's 'genocide' accusation against Israel
But that doesn't make "mainstream" news, just like report retracting previous UN's declaration of "Israel starvation of Gaza" didn't receive any time in US media, while the initial declaration of phony "Israel's policy of starvation" was shouted far and wide... and yet "starvation" was cited in stupid ICC decision.
At the same time Hamas stealing food supplies from Gazans for themselves and their loyalists, right after trucks go through checkpoints, and Hamas keeping people from leaving buildings and areas that Israel warned them to evacuate (to prevent civilian casualties) has been well known, but kept silent, all this time
People who hate Jews and Israel (for being their homeland) are still unwilling to connect the dots between Russia-North Korea-Iran and their proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and dozen other terrorist orgs that all had a nice "coordination" meeting in Moscow a few months ago) using Palestinians as their pawns and inflicting as much pain and suffering on them, to blame Israel, the US and fracture the West.
Despite clear facts to the contrary, Russian paid trolls and "influencers" heavily promote, and many Lefties (particularly very old and very young ones) still believe, ridiculous Soviet-era KGB propaganda about Israel/Jews "stealing the land" / "colonizing" / "apartheid" / "genocide" etc., ... just as they feed Righties with lies about Ukraine "Nazis" / "not democracy" / "Zelensky and wife stealing millions" and denials about Russian disinformation, misinformation, influence and election interference campaigns - "not Russia, Russia, Russia" etc.
www.rawstory.com - Bait-and-switch ad campaign carefully planned to trigger potential Harris voters - Nov 15, 2024
|------- With 25 focus groups and $45 million, political advisors to X owner Elon Musk pitted people against each other to cause a rift in the Democratic party and depress turnout for Kamala Harris'...
The Washington Post ... uncovered what it called a manipulation effort that resulted in protest votes and pulled down Democratic excitement.
... Muslims were bombarded by ads promoting Harris' backing of Israel, while Jewish voters were told she was supportive of Palestine. Left-wingers were told Harris has "abandoned the progressive dream" while more conservative voters heard of her liberal agenda.
Ryan Tyson told the Post that it was clear that many people hated Trump and would never be persuaded to support him.
"But once you get past White progressives, every other historical demographic stronghold from the Democrats just started to drop off. What did exist was a tremendous amount of voters on the left that were disaffected. And the only persuasion question was whether they could be persuaded to vote."
... Their effort "worked in concert with a separate project by the Trump campaign to depress turnout for Harris - knowing that Trump would be unlikely to drastically expand his vote totals."
A Trump campaign advisor confessed their goal was to "push her numbers down."

Israel's government has approved a plan to encourage the expansion of settlements in the occupied Golan Heights
For those who don't understand, Golan Heights is a mountainous, very inhospitable to human life, area that currently has less than 8,000 families, mostly Druze - yet from military perspective it provides a strategically essential area and a buffer zone, for Israel's and Jordan's security. Living in the Golans is no picnic and, being a buffer zone, is extremely dangerous.
Most Druze have long left the area to live better lives in Israel or Lebanon when Israel took over the area after the 1967 war (one of several existential wars they fought against Soviet Union-backed Arab coalition countries) and those that remained have been safe under Israel's protection. The last time they came under attack was when Hezbollah's rocket killed 12 Druze school students playing soccer in July 2024.
Now that Syria has been taken over by IS branch, and Turkey has taken over and occupies about 18% of Syria, presenting growing threat to Kurds (and oil fields) as Erdogan pronouncing that "Allah wants Turkiye not to be confined to its borders and wants us to expand beyond" **, and severely weakened Ayatollah in Iran is trying to destabilize Jordan by forging alliances with HTS and new substate Islamist terrorists and smuggling weapons to and through Jordan, Israel needs to expand a buffer zone to protect itself and Jordan from the kind of attacks that happened on 10/7 and was planned by Hezbollah in the north, before their leadership, munitions and tunnels were destroyed by IDF.
Syria is being carved up anew, and Israel is taking security measures appropriate to new circumstances and new threats, in light of new leaderships and alliances in the region.
**
|------- ... In Ankara on Wednesday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkiye cannot be leashed and "escape its fate."
"We will be in a much better place in the future. Turkiye is not just a place confined in an area of 782,000 square kilometers. History has a mission designated for us and we have to act in line with this. Some people cannot grasp it. They cannot grasp what we are doing in Libya or Somalia, they are not unaware of our mission. Those unable to see the transformation of Turkiye cannot see the course of developments we went through. We won't waste time with them and will focus on our goals. I believe you will undertake your responsibility in this sacred journey."
