🚨 GAZA TEACHER: “THEY THREATENED TO CUT MY TONGUE” FOR REFUSING TO TEACH CHILDREN TO HATE JEWS A veteran UNRWA geography teacher in Gaza says she was threatened after confronting colleagues who were teaching students to hate Jews and glorify Hamas. She told the New York Post that a school administrator confronted her with scissors and warned: “If you don’t stop arguing, we will cut your tongue.” The teacher says some educators openly blamed Jews for Palestinian suffering, encouraged girls to continue Hamas’s struggle, and promoted violence as necessary to achieve Palestinian political goals. Her warning about the next generation is chilling: “If the upcoming generations in Gaza have the capabilities to make another attack, they will make it.” She says reforming Gaza’s education system may be even more important than deciding who governs Gaza next.

🚨 YES, OCTOBER 7 CAN BE LEGALLY CLASSIFIED AS GENOCIDE! Avraham Shalev, @russell_sl, director of international law at the @KoheletForum, argues that Hamas’ October 7 attack satisfies the central legal requirement for genocide: intent to destroy a national, ethnic or religious group, in whole or in part. His case rests on three layers: 1. Hamas’ explicitly eliminationist ideology. 2. Years of planning for Israel’s destruction, including operational orders to enter Israeli communities and kill as many people as possible. 3. And the attack itself — directed heavily at civilian communities and accompanied by atrocities that, he argues, demonstrate genocidal intent. Shalev says Hamas should not escape the genocide label simply because Israel’s military stopped it from killing more people: “The only thing that prevented Hamas from killing more was its lack of capacity.” Meanwhile, he argues, the global conversation has largely inverted the story: a war that began with what he describes as an act of genocide is now overwhelmingly framed around accusations of genocide against Israel.
