The Feminist Solidarity Network for Palestine description in the article is interesting.

The network describes itself as "an international collective of anti-imperialist, anti-colonial feminist academics, lawyers, and organizers working against Zionist settler colonial propaganda and towards a free Palestine".

Yeah in other words they are part of an apparatus that perpetuates itself by lying and exaggerating to gain western sympathy. It’s called lawfare.

Lawfare is actually just some made up concept

… so Zionists can run away from human rights violations.

Having visisted the Topography of Terror museum, I can see how the Nazi propaganda machine is not much different from the BS you are speading here.

When they seek the protection of international law, as did the people of Gaza, and take steps to hold state actors accountable for their illegal actions, they are engaging in what Israel defines as “lawfare”: when “terrorists” employ international law as a weapon against democracies.

From “How Israel Undermines International Law Through “Lawfare”” by the ISRAELI HUMAN RIGHTS GROUP ICAHD (before you say some bullshit like ‘QatAri FunDeD MedIA’ or ‘itS jUsT a RePoRt!!!’)

If you respect or care about Jewish Israelis, please listen to them.

#Israel/oPt: UN experts appalled by reported human rights violations against Palestinian women and girls

Oh wait no, that’s Palestinians getting raped, by Israelis. That’s not gonna work, eh, let me try again.

Well, this source is perhaps less reliable than OCHR (The UN Human Rights Office) from the first link, but at least it’s an example. Here.

Oh shit that’s Palestinians being the victim again. Weird. But despite the lack of any evidence to be found, I’m sure there is a lot if it.

Norman Finkelstein substack

The Patten mission’s mandate perplexes. Its initial press release (24 January 2024) states that its purpose was to “gather, analyze and verify relevant information regarding allegations of” sexual violence. But it also emphatically states that, although it included a small team of technical experts, the “mission is neither intended nor mandated to be investigative in nature.” If, on the one hand, the mission was mandated to “gather, analyze and verify” evidence of sexual violence, and refers in the report to its “findings” and to having “verified” alleged instances of sexual violence; yet, on the other hand, the mission emphatically declares that it wasn’t “investigative in nature”—then what exactly was it? The press release further states that the mission “aims to give voice to survivors, witnesses, recently released hostages” of sexual violence. But if it wasn’t an investigative body, it’s cause for wonder how it would even know whose “voice” to give voice to. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?
