I watched the whole Hague hearing from start to finish and a lot of really egregious things were said on behalf of Israel. Lies of such outrageous proportion. But I would like to draw attention to this little line by Co-Agent of Israel, Tal Becker’s Opening statement in defense of Israel:

  1. We live at a time when words are cheap. In an age of social media and identity politics, the temptation to reach for the most outrageous term, to vilify and demonize, has become for many irresistible. But if there is a place where words should still matter, where truth should still matter, it is surely a court of law.

How can anyone take this seriously. Who is still complaining about identity politics in 2024. At the fucking hague.

I feel like this guy was sort of there to draw heat because he was so strikingly obnoxious everything he said was flippant as fuck and made it difficult to continue watching.
