Joint IDF and ISA announcement: Fortified Terror Tunnel Exposed Underneath the Shifa Hospital Complex Based on IDF and ISA intelligence, IDF troops exposed a 55-meter-long terror tunnel 10 meters deep underneath the Shifa Hospital complex. A deep staircase leads to the entrance of the tunnel shaft, which consists of various defense means including a blast-proof door and a firing hole. This type of door is used by the Hamas terrorist organization to block Israeli forces from entering the command centers and the underground assets belonging to Hamas. The tunnel shaft was uncovered in the area of the hospital underneath a shed alongside a vehicle containing numerous weapons including RPGs, explosives, and Kalashnikov rifles. IDF and ISA forces are continuing to uncover the route of the tunnel.

Israel, Hamas and the Rules of War
Nov. 17, 2023.
To the Editor:
Re “What I Believe as a Historian of Genocide,” by Omer Bartov (Opinion guest essay, nytimes.com, Nov. 10):
Mr. Bartov, a Holocaust scholar, warns that Israel is very likely committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza that can devolve into genocide. To show “genocidal intent,” he cites furious Israeli statements made immediately after Oct. 7.
But these do not reflect actual Israeli policies toward civilians. Israel’s targets are military: Hamas’s soldiers, tunnels, headquarters and weapons stocks. By placing military targets in and under civilian structures, it is Hamas that violates laws of war.
The 1948 U.N. Genocide Convention mentions demonstrable intent to destroy a national, racial or religious group. Mr. Bartov is mute about Israel’s hundreds of phone calls to Gazans warning them to leave buildings in which Hamas fighters were located. Israel has urged civilians to evacuate to the south to escape battle. A government intent on genocide would do the opposite.
A cease-fire now would leave Hamas’s leadership and its massive tunnel structures intact. Hamas would declare victory and prepare for the next round of killing. Mr. Bartov’s article and the demonstrations around the world accusing Israel of genocide would, intentionally or not, have the effect of consigning Israel to live next to a terrorist state committed to its destruction. No state in the world would accept such a situation.

There are "As-A-Jews.." There are also "As-A-Genocide-Historians" in the pages of the @NYTimes - like @BartovOmer - who lie about Israel with impunity.
"While he doesn't quite accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza, he claims that Israel's intent..."

Professor says Israel is not conducting genocide now, but worries it might happen.

On That G Slur (PallyWeid).
Of the first to come up with the G slur at the Oct 7 war:
On Nov 10, 2023, radical Israel critic Omer Bartov wrote in NYTimes. "While he doesn't quite accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza, he claims that Israel's intent to commit genocide[sic] is clear, quoting statements by Israeli officials" [EoZ, Nov 19.11.23] [https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2023/11/there-are-as-jews-there-are-also-as.html].
Naturally, longtime Israelophobe C. Amanpour was so excited to interview him on Nov 15, 2023, and she anxiously asked him when the G word can already/finally be applied.
He didn't give her her entire wish, as he basically concluded Israel needs to get rid off right wingers in its cabinet.
That was long before Gaza's 'dead baby strategy' human-shields en-masse genocidal Hamas Jihadofascist regime sent it's allies in South African government to file at ICJ.
On July 25, 2014 racist Francesca Albanese (who recycled antisemitic tropes in 2014 [TOI, 14.12.22] [https://www.timesofisrael.com/un-palestinian-rights-officials-social-media-history-reveals-antisemitic-comments/]; [UNWatch, 6.2.23] [https://unwatch.org/condemnations-against-antisemitic-un-rapporteur-francesca-albanese/], her husband worked for Palestinian Authority [UNWatch, 29.3.22] and in 2023 had justified Arab Palestinian Oct 7 atrocities [NRO, 12.2.24] [https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/u-s-blasts-latest-antisemitic-screed-from-u-n-expert-who-warned-of-jewish-lobby/]), uttered the PallyWeid G slur, by pushing Ilan Pappe's garbage.
Pappe: dishonest sloppy "historian" [Benny Morris, 17.3 11] [https://newrepublic.com/article/85344/ilan-pappe-sloppy-dishonest-historian] and radical-Communist [Camera, 20.10.05] [https://www.camera.org/article/backgrounder-on-professor-ilan-pappe-when-ideology-trumps-scholarship] inventor of fake quotes[Camera, 24.2.12] [https://www.camera.org/article/did-pappe-invent-another-quote/] and bigot [ADL, 14.5.07][https://www.adl.org/sites/default/files/Anti-Semitism-at-UC-Irvine-NW.pdf]
On 27 March, 2024, the US' State Department [https://www.state.gov/briefings/department-press-briefing-march-27-2024/] denounced Albanese's antisemitic record and rejected her genocide-lie.
