If you’re looking for a thoughtful legal analysis, you should check this out: thenation.com/…/harvard-law-review-gaza-israel-ge…

This seemed like a high quality analysis by a respectable academic, then the very first source I checked out turned out to be an amazing exaggeration. The article states

Tens of thousands are injured, and over 45% of homes in Gaza have been destroyed.

So I check the source, which is a paywalled WSJ article. Already the title of the article is

At Least 45% of Housing Units Destroyed or Damaged in Gaza

Destroyed or damaged. Should I check the other sources for similar “mistakes”? Perhaps I just got lucky and found the only bullshit reference from this article written by a Harvard Law School PhD graduate?

Or perhaps Harvard Law Review was onto something when they didn’t publish it and I would be wasting my time looking through all of them instead of just trusting them on this.

I’m very comfortable calling the campaign against Gaza in the last few weeks genocide

Why?
