NYT has enabled at least three current genocides I can think of so Dr Bartov is at least posting from where you could see it

they're also in the business of manufacturing consent. they produced a story of creating fentanyl in a ordinary ktichen which was proved to be completely false and they did it to help boost support for military invasion into mexico because of the cartels.

oh shit i didn't hear about that one 😬

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

nor did much of anyone else with npr also carried the story.

Dude, an eight grader with a basic lesson on the holocaust could make the connection to current political events. The people in charge aren't knowledge deficient, they want the genocide endpoint with better PR, no personal responsibility, and some money in the bank, and they're getting it because even token political activism threatens personal wellbeing for the masses.

Omer Bartov is an Israeli-American historian. He is the Dean's Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, where he has taught since 2000. Bartov is a historian of the Holocaust and is considered a leading authority on genocide. The Forward calls him "one of the foremost scholars of Jewish life in Galicia."^[[1] https://wikiless.com/wiki/Omer%20Bartov]

A growing number of experts in genocide studies and international law have concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza can only be defined as genocide.

And to think there are still people who are unironically citing the ADL and other unreliable sources as if that proves all the evidence there is an ongoing genocide and experts wrong (spoiler alert, it doesn't)

Fuck that genocidal enabler.

however, it's something to note, that Lifelong zionists are now saying that there's a genocide which they themselves supported.

I want to be optimistic, but I feel we are approaching the "there's nothing we could have done" stage, where all the zionists are going to say that they didn't knew, and there's nothing that they could have done to stop the thing they were celebrating.
