I've always thought one of the best, and most seldom used, ways of Jews to fight anti-Semitism is to simply use the same rhetoric on those who offend us. Because clearly the response would be very different from progressives, progressive institutions, the media.

This is a really funny example of someone, I do not know if they're pro Israel or not, but of using some inflammatory rhetoric and it causing the pro-Palestinian crowd to lose their minds. Freedom of speech is a two-way street. And instead of Jews continuing to be outraged and hurt simply fighting fire with fire sometimes might be the best way. I know that's not a popular sentiment. But here goes

Just the Facts:

1. Contrary to media reports, the UN International Court of Justice (ICJ) did NOT find that it is plausible that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Joan Donaghue, then president of the ICJ, stated in a recent interview with the BBC that the ICJ findings have been misquoted and misconstrued. The ICJ only found, without regard to any Israeli operations, that Gaza would have a plausible right to be protected from genocide and that South Africa had standing to bring that claim.

2. John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at Westpoint, wrote an Op Ed in Newsweek stating that based on his extensive knowledge and research, Israel “has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history.”

3. Using Gaza Health Ministry numbers for total deaths in Gaza and IDF information on combatant death (which is not separately reported by the Gaza Health Ministry), the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in Gaza is 1:1, which is SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER than the UN average civilian to combatant death ratio for urban warfare of 9:1.

4. Palestinian Media Watch posted a video from an Awdah Palestinian TV channel owned by Fatah stating that Hamas intentionally manufactured a food crisis in Gaza by attacking aid delivery workers and stealing food and water.

5. There has been a 500% increase in the Gaza population since 1950. For 2022, population growth in Gaza was 4%, compared to a world average of 0.8%. The average life expectancy in Gaza is 75 years old, compared to an average in the Middle East of 72 years old and a world average of 70 years old. See statistics published by World Bank and the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).

I’m currently reading Alan Dershowitz’s latest book which is fantastic as expected. I watch clips from traveling israel on YouTube. I follow some influencers on IG including Mia Talias and Michael Rappaport. I just want to know if there are are other sources where I can get good information, especially on things such as how dumb and uninformed these college protestors are, how antisemitic and dangerous they are, etc. Just one aspect of the conflict I want more credible media sources on. I do find a lot of good stuff in the NYPost and Fox News but I’ve always been weary of them especially as a liberal (or former liberal at this point idk). News Nation is pretty good from what I see; seems to be a centrist cable news outlet without the antisemitic bias. If anyone has any suggestions for further sources I would greatly appreciate it. I can’t rely on sources I used to like The New York Times, CNN nor BBC. Wall Street Journal is decent. Thanks in advance and stay strong my fellow Jewish brothers, sisters, and Jewish allies. Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱
