Top UN legal investigators conclude Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza

Wonder why this made the frontpage when other political articles die.

Has the rules around political non technical articles changed? Can we get an Epstein thread for the frontpage sometime this week?

For me, this is meaningful because for the first time a legitimate international body is calling this a genocide.

Previously, it’s been activists and claims that this might be genocide. I haven’t read the report yet. But I will, and I intend to leave my mind open as to whether this raises the profile of this war in my mind relative to domestic issues.

Francesca Albanese has held the genocide line since day one as the UN special rapporteur on israel and palestine

She's hardly impartial. Her husband worked for the Palestinian Authority.

Ooh, can we dismiss all statements from someone who is related to someone who worked for the Israeli government or was in the IDF too?

Wait, you know people who were killed by Hamas? You can’t even pretend to be impartial.

I'm uninsterested in your credibility or opinion on wether or not it's a genocide.

Courts have ruled it is. The world has ruled it is. You can skirm all you want, in 6 months you'll say you always thought it was a genocide. Mark my words.
