@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Alright, since you decided to ask me, I'll tell you why the same guy you praise for "wonderful analysis" also concludes, based on the facts & evidence, that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza:
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
There are multiple definitions of genocide, but the most widely cited is the 2002 Rome Statute's, which established the International Criminal Court (ICC). Around 120 countries are signatories (notably the US and Israel still refuse to sign it):
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Right off the bat let's debunk some common misconceptions about "genocide": You don't have to exterminate *everyone* for it to be genocide. Genocide is not a crime of body count (although body count matters). Genocide is a crime of *intent*.
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
The bar for the crime of genocide is met when there's intent to *destroy*, in whole or in part, a people. "Destroy" can manifest in many ways - killing is one, but also inflicting upon them unlivable conditions. "Conditions calculated to bring about the group's destruction".
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Since intent is key, let's focus on it. Normally*, whoever commits genocide won't go out and say "hey we'd like to wipe these people out". Normally, they hide their intent, and intent is typically the most difficult part to prove. (Hold on to the word "normally" for a sec please)
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Since intent is rarely explicit, the law allows it to be *inferred* from broader context including: - Scale & systematic nature of the violence - Chosen methods - Choices of victims/targets - Evidence of cover up - Patterns of narratives/speech used by political/military leaders
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Alright, so let's for a sec follow the "inference" route. It is now very well documented that Israel systematically targeted: - Hospitals - Water tanks - Solar panels - Journalists - Bakeries - Fishing boats - Schools - Ambulances - Residential blocks - Aid & UN workers
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
(I don't have to go point by point because all of the above is *very* well documented and even captured live). It's also well documented that Israel's chosen bombs/methods are indiscriminate (easily proven by the fact that ~70% of the 12k dead are women, children, or elderly).
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
It is also well documented that Israel: - Cut off the flow of food, water, & fuel to a civilian population - Targeted basic telecom infrastructure (internet, phone service) - Used easy-to-debunk disinfo & lies to pin the blame for *every* one of its atrocities on the other side
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
I know the typical US reaction would be "but Hamas!" To them Hamas is hiding in water tanks and solar panels. But if this is about Hamas, someone explain why 150+ Palestinians (incl 40+ children) have been killed in the West Bank, where there's no Hamas?
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Anyway: It's also well documented that Israeli ministry of intel produced a multi-stage plan for inflicting mass suffering on the population of Gaza to force them off their land and into the Sinai desert. So far Israel is following this plan actually:
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
(The above is important because while "ethnic cleansing" is not by itself a crime under the Rome Statute, it is widely acknowledged that there's a continuum between genocide & ethnic cleansing. Genocide is often a way to ethnically cleanse a people or force a population transfer)
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
It's also uncontroversial that Israel's leaders have repeatedly and systematically used language & references that makes it clear that *everyone* in Gaza, and not only Hamas, is a target. Israel's PM even tweeted it, and not just once:
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Okay so now that we get to the speech/rhetoric of Israeli leadership, we can drop the pretense that we have to "infer" genocidal intent. There's *so much* documented. Remember I told you to hold on to that "normally" a few tweets ago? Yeah, you can stop holding on to it now
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
There are several folks who have been collecting these statements of intent. One of them is br Abu Bakr Hussain who's updating a list daily and has it available for download as well. Not everything in his list is from politicians/leadership, but a lot is:
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
You can also look at the replies under this tweet. I believe others including @muhammadshehad2 and @m7mdkurd also have been collecting official & unofficial statements under tweets & in threads of their own:
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
@muhammadshehad2 @m7mdkurd Craig Mokhiber worked at the UN for 30+ years and until recently was director of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights' NY office. Listen to him explain how normally intent is the hardest to prove, but in this case, intent "is an easy case to make":
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
@muhammadshehad2 @m7mdkurd But now that we're citing experts, let's mention how so many *actual genocide scholars* have assessed that Israel is committing the crime of genocide. Again there's so much of this that I can't fit it all in a thread but some are under this tweet:
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
@muhammadshehad2 @m7mdkurd An important voice has been Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura (@Rrrrnessa), who is both an academic expert on genocide and a survivor of genocide. But there's also Luis Moreno Ocampo, ex-ICC prosecutor. And Raz Segal, an Israeli expert on modern genocide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWGGjLZNuyg
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
@muhammadshehad2 @m7mdkurd @Rrrrnessa (Btw correct me if I'm wrong but even in the case of the Bosnian genocide & the Iraqi Kurdish genocide, explicit public statements of intent were relatively scarce and intent had to be inferred from chain of command orders & military tactics/context. Here it's more explicit.)
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
@muhammadshehad2 @m7mdkurd @Rrrrnessa So yes: I write some decent threads on geopolitical analysis. Yes: I'm a human being who gets exhausted and triggered. But when I say Israel is committing genocide it's not hyperbole. It's a conclusion based upon the facts & evidence, and the conclusion of many noted experts.
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Ultimately whether or not it's genocide will have to be determined through a thorough international independent investigation, followed by a fair, balanced, public trial. But we *know* we won't get that. Israel & the US are not party to the ICC. Israel is above the law.
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
I can still hear them say "but Hamas!" - Hamas very likely committed war crimes & crimes against humanity on Oct 7 - Israel's actions since Oct 7 (fully backed by the West) can credibly be described as genocidal No contradiction there
@iyad_elbaghdadi - İyad el-Baghdadi | إياد البغدادي
Finally: I know all of this will not make any difference to many people who have enthusiastically swallowed the Israeli propaganda & disinfo echoed by racist political & media institutions in the West. No amount of evidence will work on them. Why? This:

For far too long AntiArab, Islamophobic and Anti-Palestinian rethorics have been invisibilised. Also invisibilised is real antisemitism (hate against the Jews as Jews) - Many found more poltically convenient to weaponise antisemitism against those asking for justice and rights in Palestine. Racism is the common root of these diseases, which regrettably still runs deep in many western political élites and systems.

BREAKING: Mordechai Brafman, 28, a pro-Israel fanatic, fired 17 shots at a father and son in Miami Beach, injuring both.

And where are the congressional hearings to address this rising hate against Palestinians and Arabs?

Ironically, the victims were Israeli tourists. And right after being shot, they took to social media chanting 'Death to Arabs.' You can't make this up.

I’m deeply concerned about the rise of militant Zionist extremism in the U.S. Groups like the Jewish Defense League have a history of violence, and recent activities by organizations such as @Betar_USA are terrifying and alarming. These Jewish terrorists have also targeted fellow Jews opposing their aggressive ideologies. It’s imperative law enforcement address this escalating threat to ensure the safety of all communities.
