Perfect example of how terrorist propaganda is laundered & political violence is justified - and language of international law is the fulcrum leveraged to make it all sound palatable. Let's take a closer look, shall we? During this panel, @AbdulElSayed seems to SAY all the right things. Everyone everywhere, including Jews in synagogues, should be able to pray - or not pray at all - without facing discrimination. We should separate criticism of @Israel from anti-Jewish sentiment. Palestinian AND Israeli children alike should believe their life won't be curtailed by violence. Sounds reasonable, no? Based on these aspirational talking points, who WOULDN'T support senator-elect El-Sayed's rhetoric? Only, Jews are NOT able to pray at synagogues throughout the West without facing discrimination. The REASON they're not is rampant #legaldisinformation falsely accusing 🇮🇱 of "genocide" in Gaza that has shifted from fringe to mainstream since 10/7 to justify harassment & even violence directed against the Jews. And withholding support to 🇮🇱 in the fight against Hamas & other regional terrorists (+ their #IRGC backers in 🇮🇷) would lead to an ACTUAL genocide against 🇮🇱. Likewise, the ongoing large-scale armed conflict in the Holy Land that puts Palestinian children at risk of having their lives curtailed by violence is a DIRECT result of the atrocities committed by HAMAS & the terrorist group's refusal to abide by the terms of the 20 peace plan while permitting the peaceful transition of power to @BoardOfPeace backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. Placing equal blame on 🇮🇱 AND 🇵🇸 is merely a way to excuse the 10/7 atrocities & Hamas's terrorist political violence since then. If you pay close attention to El-Sayed's talking points in this clip, you'll notice the seemingly palatable rhetoric is presented ALONG with the very talking points that are ALSO relied upon to justify violence against Jews at home & against Israel in the Holy Land. Specifically, he (repeatedly) amplifies the false accusation that 🇮🇱 is responsible for "genocide" AND 🇺🇸 support is at least partially responsible for enabling the "genocide". He also claims 🇺🇸 should be "the first among equals to UPHOLD INTERNATIONAL LAW," even though he misrepresents terms like "genocide" & "apartheid" to make it seem that curtailing assistance to 🇮🇱 is required for us to do so. In light of this rampant legal disinformation & social/political rhetoric used to justify violence directed against Jews at home & Israel in the Holy Land, let's get a few things straight. - Israel is not, nor has it been, responsible for genocide in #Gaza. The apparent "consensus" among human rights "experts" & the like isn't actually a "consensus" at all, and among @UN Member States only about 1 in 3 have publicly supported the false genocide allegation (attached image). - Legitimate criticism of 🇮🇱 is not antisemitic. But falsely accusing the world's only predominantly Jewish state of genocide is also NOT legitimate criticism of 🇮🇱. - You can't separate yourself from discrimination & harassment & violence directed against Jews if you amplify & perpetuate the false allegation that 🇮🇱 is responsible for "genocide" since this is the primary tool used to JUSTIFY said harassment & violence. Until all - or at least most - journalists, media hosts, pundits & politicians understand these points, in detail, activists like senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed here will continue to launder IRGC & Muslim Brotherhood propaganda throughout the West under the guise of legitimate - even palatable - social & political rhetoric. Don't let them get away with it. Understand how the language of international law is used to launder terrorist propaganda. And when activists like El-Sayed try to spin rampant legal disinformation as he does in this clip, be prepared to counter it & expose them as the anti-Israel, antisemitic, terrorist sympathizers they truly are. #TheMoreYouKnow #nogenocide #truthmatters
