The Far Left (as Opposed to the Fascist Left) Opens the Raincoat

 11/21/25 TruthOut:

n 1947, the United Nations General Assembly committed the UN’s original sin when it partitioned Palestine to create Israel. This launched the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of the Indigenous people, and the establishment of a settler colonial state.

Now, 78 years later, the UN Security Council has committed the UN’s second cardinal sin. It enshrined Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, put its imprimatur on Israel’s genocide, and granted colonial control over the lives of the Palestinians to the United States, which has aided and abetted the genocide.

Another bunch of idiots who do not know what genocide means.

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

1. Killing members of the group;
2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

The IDF's actions are not targetting Palestinians, Arabs, or even Gazans.  They are targetting military forces of a group that has engaged in acts of war (and not even lawful forms of war) against Israel.  Arabs in Israel are in no danger of disappearing, or elsewhere, hence the willingness of Arab nations to go along with this treaty.
