Until they stop “genociding” they should keep their hypocritical mouths closed. Human rights indeed.
So to be clear, this is an Israeli legal group, not a Canadian Jewish legal group. In fact it is a group that has well known ties to the Israeli government and Israeli intelligence, and whose founder has bragged that they can do what the government cannot do because of political restraints and international treaties.
This isn’t about members of the public having any kind of legitimate grievance, this is about lawfare.
Cancer is suing the chemotherapy museum, who would have thought.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this explained so eloquently
The one-sided narrative is what we were all fed for three quarters of a century. Now they’re just furious that the other side of the story is becoming more widely known. If Israel hadn’t so obviously decided on a policy of genocide towards Palestinians, it might have stood a better chance of continuing to control the narrative. But we’ve seen Israel committing the most appalling torture and mass slaughter every day for years and celebrating it, despite it also killing as many journalists as it can to prevent the truth being told. Our understanding of the story is rebalancing, and Israel’s propagandists hate that.
Now they’re just furious that the other side of the story is becoming more widely known.
And they’re helping with publicity because apparently they haven’t heard of the Streisand effect.
The term antisemitic is really losing all meaning at this point. Which is fucked up.
The irony is, Palestinians are semite.
There are no Semitic people only Semitic languages. Saying that Arabs are Semitic is a category error.
The exhibit focuses on Palestinian accounts of the Nakba — Arabic for “catastrophe” — referring to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war surrounding the creation of the State of Israel.
“The creation of the State of Israel pursuant to international legal and diplomatic processes is not, in itself, a human rights violation,” the letter states.
Make it make sense, Israel shouldn’t exist for the exact reason.
Hopes this goes to court and that there’s a fruitful discovery phase, with relevant documents held by parties being potentially put into the public record. Ideally with governments being dragged into this, so that it extends to gov records.
I think it’s more about draining the resources of a museum with costly litigation, which is the typical MO.
One of the most prominent witnesses in the ICC Genocide case against Israel is a British Palestinian doctor who only recently won a 2 year long litigation battle against “UK lawyers for Israel” in January, which UKLFI is trying to reopen again this past March - each legal battle costs him about £150,000, not to mention time and money from his actual job of being a doctor.
It does look like a SLAPP suit.
If it doesn’t get rejected outright, might as well make it painful for the plaintif. The plaintif may not fear an expensive court case, but they may fear dirt being dug up and exposed publicly.
… is promoting a politically one-sided narrative
Oh really now? Are they really?
Yeah, the “genocide is bad” side. Such biased and unfair reporting
hey prominent legal organization, get absolutely f’d
