I don’t think the article you linked is sufficient evidence for her being an islamophobe. Reading some of her history, her opposition to the bill seems based on paranoia that the Iranian government could use it as an avenue to attack her or other women’s rights activists from the region.

I say it’s based on paranoia because the Iranian government has gone to great lengths to punish her:

Amnesty International condemned the relentless persecution. “Arresting the relatives of an activist in an attempt to intimidate her into silence is a despicable and cowardly move,” a representative for the organization said. Alinejad’s brother remains in jail. Article

She could have been wrong about the bill, the Biden white house put out a general statement of support for it, and it passed in the house, but it looks more like self-preservation based on paranoia than islamophobia to me.

Why didn’t you include all of article II in your criteria?

Here’s the beginning:

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 religions group, as such:

The intent and type of group being targeted are also part of the criteria.

In this case it would be Israel intending to destroy, in whole or in part, Palestinians. Which South Africa is trying to prove in court using statements that Israeli politicians have made and the actions of the IDF.

The intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Archive of UN.org

Their official Instagram was banned so it seems it was posted on an affiliated account.

“We acknowledge that the community was shocked by the phrase, and the burning of the Canadian flag that came after the march was concluded. Yet, we at Samidoun stand by this phrase as the call to action that it is,” wrote the group in a lengthy statement posted to Instagram. Source

From the article’s graph:

September had the lowest number of lorries recorded since the first month of the war, with only 53 lorries per day

I’m not sure how they got their numbers. I checked the Humdata site it shows 2905 trucks in September and 3096 trucks in August. Averaging around 97 and 100 trucks per day respectively. The article’s graph also shows May had more trucks than June which doesn’t match the data I saw.

I think the data I linked is from the UN which is their stated source, maybe they’re filtering the data on some criteria.

Edit: I was listening to the security council meeting concerning the middle east today. Algeria and United Kingdom representatives mentioned the lowest amount of humanitarian trucks entered last month since the start of the war. I found the UN report it’s from.

According to OCHA, in September 2024, an average of only 52 humanitarian trucks entered the Gaza Strip per day. This is well below the pre-crisis average of 500 trucks per working day.

The OCHA link has a graph at the bottom with the same data as the BBC article.

Relevant articles for Biden’s comments on possible Israeli strikes on Iran oil facilities, since OP used a live link:

When asked if he would support such strikes, Mr Biden said: “We’re discussing that. I think that would be a little… anyway.”

Do you have a date or news article for the initial border attack by Israel in Metula? I thought that the initial attack was Hezbollah firing rockets on Oct 8th.

If you just mean the part about advanced weapons from America then I agree with you, it’s nonsense, obviously an accurate rifle can be manufactured anywhere.

The not an accident part has a decent argument. Considering that only a few shots were fired, one hit the dumpster she was hiding behind and one hit her in the head, it seems unlikely it was accidental.

The CNN article got comments from two other people present.

A resident:

Dr. Hisham Dweikat, a resident of Beita who took part in the demonstration, told CNN that as the protest was wrapping up, the Israeli military started firing tear gas towards the crowd.

“As people were running away, live fire was shot and a soldier fired directly at the protesters, hitting the American activist in the head from behind and falling to the ground,” he said.

An American activist:

Eygi was crouched behind a dumpster at the bottom of a hill when gunfire began, Vivi Chen, an American activist who was at the demonstration and who volunteers for Faza’a – another pro-Palestinian group which works in partnership with ISM – told CNN. Chen confirmed Eygi was there with ISM.

“We were all at the bottom of the hill and the Israeli army was at the top,” Chen said. “There were two volunteers sitting behind a dumpster and they fired one shot at the dumpster. It hit a metal plane. And then there was another shot and they shot – they shot her in the head.”

…

“They are one of the most advanced armies in the world,” Chen said. “They have weapons from America. It is not an accident that they hit her in the head. That was on purpose. It’s not that they shot a hundred shots at the same time, and she was hit with one. We were all standing still, not moving. Just standing there, and they shot her through the head.”

Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, meanwhile, called for immediate punishment for the Palestinian Authority and expanded settlement construction in the Occupied West Bank as a response.

This is unhinged, wanting to punish the PA for other countries recognizing Palestine.

Irresponsible decision from Israel, the initial exchange seemed justified with no reason to escalate things.

To add even more context, Lehi was an offshoot of Irgun which was an extremist offshoot of Haganah. They had less than 300 members compared to Haganah’s 20,000.

Their ideology probably isn’t an accurate representation of all the politicians you mentioned except Yitzhak Shamir who was a leader of Lehi and became a prime minister of Israel 40 years later which is a bit weird.
