Why I changed my mind on the genocide charge against Israel
For the past 21 months of horrific violence and heartbreaking suffering in the Gaza Strip, I’ve been wrestling with the contentious…
Sugerencia: que le diga que el diccionario no basta, que use la definición de la Convencion del Genodicio de 1948 que es la que importa.

Anne Applebaum does seem to have a recurring theme about media ceasing to exist. It’s unclear whether this is always bad for her.

“Más de 470K personas, aproximadamente 1 de cada 5 residentes, viven ahora en condiciones de hambre ‘catastróficas’, según la clasificación del IPC respaldada por la ONU. Esto mientras 2 destacadas organizaciones israelíes de DDHH han acusado a su propio gobierno de cometer genocidio en Gaza.”

Tiene todo el sentido, países pequeños y que se benefician del multilateralismo como Eslovenia son los más interesados en defender el derecho y el orden internacional.

Calling it a “failure” misses the point: life in Gaza is being made impossible for Palestinians by design.

Segal: There isn’t a single Israeli minister that wants to see babies die. You know how I know it? Because Israel has a nuclear weapon. If Israel really wanted to have a genocide, it would’ve done it already. I know it’s a waste of time to speak to a liberal news outlet in the United States about the numbers. You won’t find a single initiative by an Israeli cabinet minister that wants to kill babies on purpose.
Chotiner: You know about Ben-Gvir and the wedding.
Segal: Which one?
Chotiner: Where there was dancing.
Segal: Which one?
Chotiner: Pretending to stab Palestinians.
Segal: It was a disgusting event in which someone stabbed the picture of a baby. And it was disgusting. [In 2015, at a wedding that Ben-Gvir attended, dancing guests held up a photograph of a Palestinian baby who had been burned to death by right-wing Israeli extremists several months earlier, and one guest stabbed the picture with a knife. Ben-Gvir was the lead arsonist’s attorney. He later called the display at the wedding “stupidity.”] And there were indictments because Israel is a law-and-order state. Ben-Gvir didn’t do it. Maybe he participated. I wouldn’t have taken part in an event like this.
Chotiner: That’s good to know.

Segal: I see. I beg to differ with the New York Times because the New York Times bases its reports on Hamas sources. The New York Times relies heavily on stringers in Gaza that have two options: either report what Hamas wants or die, and I blame the New York Times for this. The head of the legal department of the New York Times told me, How can you blame us for writing what Hamas wants? Our journalists died because in the past they reported things that Hamas didn’t like.
Chotiner: This person told you this on the record?
Segal: They wanted to sue me when I claimed that they relied on stringers who collaborated with Hamas.
Chotiner: So they told you this privately?
Segal: Yeah. You can quote it. [David McCraw, the lead newsroom lawyer at the Times, was identified to me later by Segal as the person who allegedly said this. McCraw told The New Yorker, “I never said any of that. We never threatened to sue him. And our journalists have not been killed by Hamas.” In 2023, McCraw asked Segal to make corrections to some statements he had made on social media, including that the Times employed “ISIS-embedded stringers.”] So even if we take into account the fact that twenty children died of dehydration, which I doubt and which the I.D.F. doubts, there is no way to double-check it. [In the past several days, a number of news organizations have called on Israel to allow international reporters to enter Gaza, something that it has thus far largely restricted them from doing.] What can make hunger in Gaza is the unholy coalition between the U.N. and Hamas. Each and every organization in Gaza has to pay at least fifteen to twenty per cent of the humanitarian aid directly to the pockets of Hamas.
Segal: Israel is behind this foundation, but the idea is noble and it is to keep humanitarian aid from becoming a weapon for the survival of Hamas. Now, here’s the question to you: Why is the U.N. obsessed with the G.H.F.?
Chotiner: The hundreds of people who have been killed at G.H.F. sites?
Segal: No. This is what Hamas claims and what the New York Times quotes. By the way, the vast majority of people killed in the G.H.F. were killed by Hamas. Hamas tried to kill and shoot people who came to take food from G.H.F. because the purpose is to save Hamas’s regime. [The vast majority of the deaths at or near G.H.F. sites have been attributed to the I.D.F.; Haaretz reported last month that the Army was deliberately firing at Palestinians seeking aid.] By the way, I’m not the only one to understand this. President Biden, in October of 2023, actually forced Israel to provide humanitarian aid, right? And then he said, and I quote, “If Hamas diverts or steals the assistance, they will have demonstrated once again that they have no concern for the welfare of the Palestinian people, and it will end. As a practical matter, it will—it will stop the international community from being able to provide this aid.”
At this point, I can’t imagine what Zionists think they’re achieving by going on the record with Isaac Chotiner.

If you have to airdrop humanitarian aid, which is ineffective, expensive, and potentially deadly for starving people, into a territory your ally occupies, then one of two things is true:
1. That’s not really your ally.
2. You’re not actually interested in delivering humanitarian aid.

Gaza air drops 'a grotesque distraction', aid agencies warn
Several aid groups say dropping food from the air onto densely populated Gaza is a risk to civilian lives.
“La atención puesta en los lanzamientos aéreos sobre Gaza es una ‘grotesca distracción’ que no revertirá la creciente crisis de hambruna en el territorio, han advertido líderes de agencias humanitarias”

Si algo no cambia, empezarán a morir de hambre muchas más personas.
