  1. SS: Since the Oct 7 attacks a remarkable amount of anti-Israel bias has come to the surface among (so called) multinational human rights organizations, leading to a widespread collapse in the credibility of many of these formerly respected organizations such as Amnesty International and Humans Rights Watch.

    The author interviewed staffers and officials from across the world through all of the largest activist organizations, documenting the silencing of reports that go against the official narrative and the burying of evidence of crimes committed by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organizations.

    The politicization and bias of these organizations has been warned against for the past decade, but this article really brings troves of evidence to show how radical the shift has been since the Hamas-led Oct 7 attack on Israel.

  2. International organizations have always been a joke. Until we have an international government they always will be and that is not happening anytime soon.

  3. There was a statement signed by 50+ genocide and Holocaust scholars warning about the risk of genocide in Gaza. So yeah—this isn’t just coming from random people on the internet, legit scholars have been raising alarms.

    Sources if you’re curious:

  4. It’s been quite something watching orgs like the ICC grinding their credibility to dust, forcing so many nations to announce publicly they will ignore their ruling.

    All to the sound of cheers by insane antisemitic lunatic legions who would have every shred of progress destroyed, just in order to blame the Jews of the crimes actually committed against them.

  5. Is it so hard to accept “Hamas is a murderous terroristic organization which would commit genocide against Jews if it could, and its terrorism has substantial support in Gaza and among Palestinians generally.” *AS WELL AS* “Israel has a corrupt and murderous government which is committing genocide in Gaza, and its genocide has substantial support among Israelis and Israeli sympathizers.”?

  6. My pal, this war is only going on so satanyahu can stay out of jail. Just answer me one question, how many Palestinians have died and how many Israelis have died?

  7. There is genocide going on in Palestine that is a fact. This article is more Israeli propaganda.

  8. Looking at the frequency of your commentary and the wide range of topics of interest on your profile, surely this is your day job? Either a day job or an LLM or an olympian team of content churners.

    Edit: Holy hell is this post astroturfed to death. One look at the profiles of the posters here reveals the factory level information warfare coordination going on. Totally organic, nothing to see here. Makes me just avoid the platform altogether. Hard to even know when one isn’t just wasting their mental energy arguing with a soulless network of llm sockpuppets.

  9. Thank you for sharing the article, I would’ve missed it otherwise.

  10. What doesn’t help the situation is the constant use of the claim of “antisemitism” (why it isn’t just ‘racisim’ also? Why the need for a special Semitic-only favour of racism) for criticism of the state of Israel – a geopolitical entity largely acting on the decisions of a small subset of the population and having nothing to do with ethnicity.

    There’s a deliberate conflation there that antagonises potential allies and turns them to cynics.

  11. Bunch of IDF bots replying and upvoting each other. Great.

    The world is not blind. No matter how much money or hasbara you throw at it. It’s still a genocide where the victims have become the perpetrators. Never again means never again to us.

    This double standard is found in the jewish bible. No interest to be taken from other jews, no genocides to perpetuated against jews. The chosen people.
