Article: 'Trump must close this [[Turkiye|Turkish]] loophole that allows Iran to skirt sanctions.' "TThe Venice film festival’s record-breaking standing ovation for NAZA propaganda became a ritual of political loyalty that reinforced the exclusion of Jews who do not conform to accepted expectations, reviving the image of the “bad Jew” being pushed back into the ghetto.
Regarding violating ban on Iran, "Turkey is among worst offenders."
A [[Wikipedia]] bigoted editor added a description of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (CAMERA) to Robert Kraft’s biography calling it an organization that “denied Israel’s genocide[sic] in Gaza” and linked the phrase to a page about Gaza genocide denial. The wording closely followed an Intercept article discussing Kraft’s donations to organizations. The description was later removed and replaced with information about a CAMERA donation marked as supporting the fight against antisemitism. A separate characterization of CAMERA as “right-wing” was also removed after concerns about editorializing and reliance on the Intercept’s framing. CAMERA’s chair said the edits reflected an effort by anti-Israel activists to use Wikipedia to promote the false “genocide” accusation. Wikipedia co-founders Jimmy Wales and [[Larry Sanger]] have criticized the neutrality of Wikipedia’s Gaza genocide coverage. University of Haifa researcher Shlomit Lir said the wording was biased because it treated genocide as established fact and characterized those disputing it as deniers, creating parallels with the moral implications of Holocaust denial. She said the episode showed how contested terminology in biographical entries can promote an ideological position and discredit people for their philanthropic choices. Writer raises alarm at the attempt of treating debunking the "genocude" opinion as trying to compare it to denying true genocide of the [[Holocaust]].

UN admission on its "genocide" false accusation against Israel lacks supporting evidence.
A senior member of a United Nations investigative commission - Navi Pillay's COI, has exposed lack of evidence weaknesses in its conclusion that Israel committed supposed "genocide" in Gaza. The central issue is whether the commission adequately verified key facts and established the specific intent required for a genocide finding.
- Key admission about civilian casualties: Chris Sidoti, a member of the UN Commission of Inquiry, acknowledged that the commission did not independently verify a widely cited claim [invented by propagandist Yuval Abraham via +972mag/TheGuardian that 83% of Palestinians killed in Gaza were supposedly civilians [debunked]. He said the commission lacked the information to determine the breakdown between civilians and militants.
From the (JNS 10/16/26) report: "attendee noted that the U.N. panel claimed that 83% of Gazans killed in the war were civilians, which the commission took as evidence that Israel targets Palestinian civilians “deliberately.”
The 83% statistic has been debunked widely. The audience member asked Sidoti whether the commission independently verified it.
“No. We didn’t...” Sidoti said.'
- A serious legal distinction: Genocide requires more than showing that civilians have died or that extensive destruction has occurred; it requires specific intent to destroy a protected national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part. Sidoti acknowledged that proving this intent is an especially demanding legal test.
- The commission is not a court: Sidoti emphasized that the body is an investigative commission, not a court or prosecution service, and that its findings relied on a “reasonable grounds” standard. This raises the question how can its conclusions be treated as established legal facts [even per UN]?
- Israel's military objective remains relevant: Sidoti acknowledged that if Israel's objective was to destroy Hamas, that would not automatically rule out genocide—but neither does the possibility of genocidal intent establish that it existed. The distinction between fighting a terrorist organization and deliberately seeking to destroy a people is central to the case.
- Interpretation of international law: Report also challenges the claim that the International Court of Justice had declared genocide in Gaza “plausible.” It cites former ICJ president Joan Donoghue's comments that the court had not made that specific ruling. The court's provisional measures in South Africa's case against Israel were not a final determination that genocide had occurred.

- His son’s letter: Ibrahim Sinwar, then 10 years old, wrote to his father expressing a desire to hold a Kalashnikov rifle and “shoot the Jews.” The letter, decorated with drawings of tanks and missiles and a Spider-Man sticker, was recovered by Israeli soldiers in Gaza in 2024.
