In her zeal to protect #freeSpeech rights of #violent #Palestinian groups, she characterized some speech curbs as #fearMongering against #Jewish students.

#US #DOJ shows this is real, not just fear-mongering ➡️ https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndny/pr/cornell-student-arrested-making-online-threats-jewish-students-campus

As a Senior Attorney, #RadhikaSainath must know that right to free speech is NOT absolute. It has limits.

She claims that #US does not allow open & informed debate, and #journalists are not "able to accurately report this issue," shredding all credibility!

#UN & #EU define #EthnicCleansing ➡️ https://www.his.com/~twarrick/commxyu4.htm#III.B

#IDF warning was to ALL civilians, including non-#Muslim, non-#Palestinians. It was not based on #ethnicity.

On #UN definition of #genocide ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111404445059994501
it's #Hamas, not #Israel that fits the definition as a glove. Follow that thread up and down.

As a Senior Attorney, #RadhikaSainath should have known both of these definitions before eviscerating her own credibility.

She has valid arguments for #Palestinian freedom, but that gets drowned in the legal subterfuge she pulls.

The initial order warned: “In the following days, the #IDF will continue to operate significantly in #Gaza City and make extensive efforts to AVOID HARMING CIVILIANS. Evacuate south for your own safety and the safety of your families and DISTANCE yourself from #Hamas #terrorists who are using you as #humanShields"

#RadhikaSainath mischaracterized this as "literal" #ethnicCleansing 🙄

How to start with valid Pro-#Palestinian view, and then destroy one's OWN arguments

Since #RadhikaSainath is Senior Staff Attorney at #PalestineLegal, let's start with the LEGAL deception she's engaged in:

She says #Israel's order to evacuate Northern #Gaza before counterattacks is "literal definition of #ethnicCleansing," while simultaneously arguing that results of Israel's operations constitutes #genocide
