UN Report Shattered and Israel Genocide Claims Collapse (w/John Spencer)

Basic Law ^ | 18/9/25 | John Spencer and Aylana Meisel

[Eleutheria5]

As Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza City intensifies, the UN Human Rights Council has once again leveled accusations of genocide against the Jewish state. Their newly released 72-page report, produced by a commission riddled with members already on record as anti-Israel, ignores Hamas’s crimes and skews casualty data to present a distorted narrative. Behind the headlines, the reality on the ground tells a very different story.

In this episode of Basic Law, we cut through the noise clouding global discourse on Israel’s war of survival. Host Aylana Meisel is joined by John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Madison Policy Forum and Director of the Urban Warfare Institute. Together, they dissect the myths, the misused legal terminology and the unprecedented challenges Israel faces as it moves into one of the most complex urban battlefields in modern history.

Spencer explains why terms like genocide, proportionality, and ethnic cleansing are being recklessly misapplied by international bodies and activists and why this undermines both critical thinking and the very laws of war. He also outlines the IDF’s extraordinary efforts to protect civilians, from mass evacuation warnings to daily humanitarian pauses and why Hamas’s strategy is less “human shielding” than deliberate “human sacrifice.”

Learn how the truth of urban warfare, international law and Israel’s moral dilemmas differs from the headlines and why it matters for the future of democratic nations everywhere.

45 minutes long. Informative, important, but if you don't want to sit still for 45 minutes, fine. So don't, and STFU about it. Your desire or lack of desire to watch 45 minutes of video is very uninteresting. Run along and watch something that doesn't require an attention span.

The UN needs to be permanently shattered, and thrown out of the U.S.

UNRWA was embedded with Hamas on October 7th. I believe they intended to rewrite the narrative to bring about the necessary conditions to force Israel to a table to divide Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.

The attack then became beyond barbaric and full on demonic, twisted beyond anything a rational mind would imagine even from a wartime battlefield and they are keeping that truth as hidden away from the West as they can make it.

Even after all this, Macron, Starmer, Carney, Albanese and others are moving forward with Satan’s plans.

Butt, butt, butt starving kids and IDF snipers...

[faithhopecharity]

nobody should get too worried, the Satanic UnitedNazis organization made itself irrelevant in world affairs years and years ago.

maybe PDJT will get the brass to kick that nest of spies, agents provocateurs, and enemy propagandists OUT of USA, soon. We sure hope so!!

for any remaining idealists that still hope that an international forum place will somehow help improve the world, fine I respect that (albeit I believe history proves it very naive). Fine. We can set up a cleaned-up new international discussion forum, probably the internet would be best but if a physical site is desired it can be in Switzerland or some tropical island ... not in USA.. with membership limited to civilized countries NOT IslamoNazi or other dicatorships, terrorist gangsters, or communists. There’s nothing to discuss with such evil “governments” and no purpose anyway since they do not honor their word about anything.

I’m one of those who won’t sit through 10 minutes of video, nevermind 45 minutes. I don’t watch much TV either, less than 10 or 15 minutes a month. I damn sure don’t watch mainstream “news” shows. Most of them and videos are simply too much talk with no or insufficient data.

Having said that I read a LOT. I understand the genocide is on the hamas / palestine side. Israel gets more soldiers killed than necessary making sure the civilians can get out of the way, although I do not consider palestinians ‘innocent’ civilians. The UN is a moslem / islam mouthpiece and basically worthless; we need to quit funding them.

There’s a whole lot more but I’ll let it go at that.

Y’All Take Care.

[Eleutheria5]

Fair enough. This one is a cut above the usual crap, which is why I posted it.

A picture is worth...
Well YOU Know the Thing.
Ain’t watching 45 minutes

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

The UN needs to be permanently shuttered, and thrown out of the U.S.

Yes!

We should move and set up the new UN with a few tents on the coast of the Gaza Strip. No limousines, no cuisine. Anyone who does not want to attend

oh, well.

It could be advertised as an "open air, free speech forum with a view of the Mediterranean.

[Eleutheria5]

Even the IDF snipers are starving?!

[rktman]

Have they been accused of eating the youngsters they sniped yet.

[Eleutheria5]

Not yet. But that’s coming, I’d bet.

[spintreebob]

For me, a big question is why media types ignore the facts?
Why do Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens...basically reliable followers on facts on some issuess... miss the facts on Hamas terrorism?

[Big Red Badger]

Tucker sold-out to Rad Pallys
I Heard.

[Eleutheria5]

They might be paid, or they might have a blind spot.

[SunkenCiv]

Well put.
