But DMET, GFICT, and other interfaces between governments and tech monopolies aren’t using the Constitution.

Like Facebook’s decision to censor the former president, there’s no mention of the Constitution, but international law is repeatedly cited. Most disturbingly, a GFICT attempt to define terrorism collates a variety of definitions including attacks \"against social cohesion\" which the UN itself has noted is used to censor speech and political opponents as well as efforts to suppress Mohammed cartoons.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETier 4 of the Content Taxonomy for what gets censored by Big Tech includes only one example targeting a group: “fear of Muslims is rational\" thereby essentially banning most counterrorism, advocacy against unlimited immigration as well the Trump political campaign.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhile Americans slept, Big Tech adopted UN standards to eliminate the Constitution.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBig Tech monopolies are no longer just enforcing local laws, moderating content in America or in the European Union based on the different standards in each country, instead all speech on the major platforms is being policed in line with the United Nations and its “international law”.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENo black helicopters or blue helmets were needed.

And censors all of us too.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGFICT is another example of UN regulations controlling our speech.

The Arab Muslim colonists who had occupied the area however called it Sheikh Jarrah after an associate of the Iraqi invader Saladin.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESaladin had invaded Israel some 1500 years after Shimon HaTzadik’s death. His associate settled in Jerusalem and died there. A mosque was built over the house of the invader, Jarrah, which later gave its name to the neighborhood when the Husseini family set up shop there in the 19th century. Hitler’s Mufti, Haj Amin al-Husseini, grew up in the first house in the neighborhood.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESeven years after he got a pledge from Hitler to invade and kill all the Jews, the Islamic leader tried to finish the job with the Army of the Sacred Jihad backed by thousands of Muslim Brotherhood Jihadis. Aside from blowing up the newspaper that would later be known as the Jerusalem Post, the Jihadis performed poorly in battle and fell apart when their commander, another Husseini, was killed trying to cut off Israeli supply convoys to the siege of Jerusalem.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe Jordanians desecrated the synagogues of East Jerusalem, used Jewish tombstones to pave roads, and seized Jewish property through their Custodian of Enemy Property.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn 1956, UNRWA worked with the Jordanian occupiers to settle “Palestinian refugees” in this Jewish neighborhood. The UN agency had been entirely dedicated to caring for the Arab Muslim settlers who had failed in their invasion of Israel and was settling them in violation of international law in the homes of the Jewish residents who had fled the illegal occupation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EOnce the UNRWA had “resettled” its “refugees” in homes stolen from their Jewish owners through ethnic cleansing, it deemed them to no longer be refugees. The actual refugees however were the Jewish residents who had their homes stolen by the UNRWA.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe only thing more disturbing than a UN agency collaborating in ethnic cleansing was that after Israel liberated and unified Jerusalem, the illegal Arab Muslim occupiers of the homes not only refused to leave, but their right to remain in homes stolen from their Jewish inhabitants was taken up by the UN and the international community. Not to mention a lot of lawyers.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt took the original Jewish owners five years to even win legal rights to the homes in court. But they didn't actually get the property back. In an attempt to avoid just the kind of international incident going on now, the Israeli authorities brokered a deal in which the Muslim squatters would pay rent and accept the legal rights of the Jewish owners of the trusts.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe rent on the homes was a fraction of what they would go for on the open market. But even that money was never actually paid. The next three decades were spent trying to evict the illegal Muslim settlers who wouldn't pay rent or leave.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe recent court decision on evictions, which was used by Hamas and the PLO as a pretext for the war that they had been planning on starting anyway, is the latest in a string of legal decisions over these homes going back 50 years.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThese decisions came from independent courts, not the Netanyahu government, in a legal battle that began when he was a college student studying at MIT. There isn’t a single argument for why the Jewish trusts that owned the homes should have lost the right to them when Jordan invaded and seized those homes, or why the UNRWA’s decision to illegally collaborate in ethnic cleansing by settling members of an occupying nation in those homes was legal.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAll their arguments come down to shouting, “apartheid” and “ethnic cleansing” when the only time there was apartheid and ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem was under Arab Muslim occupation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEvery anti-Israel radical in public office from Rep.

This claim has standing in Israeli courts which chose to wrongly recognize those seizures. And so the court cases have revolved around whether the squatters could ever prove that an illegal occupying power had transferred title to them during its ethnic cleansing campaign. The squatters couldn’t even meet this low bar because they were never given title to the homes, but the vicissitudes of local real estate law aside, there’s still the invasion, the illegal occupation and the ethnic cleansing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWhen AOC, Warren, Sanders, Tlaib, Omar, the UN, and the Biden administration treat the occupiers of Sheikh Jarrah as the rightful owners, they’re defending ethnic cleansing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd it should be called what it is.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-2G-w-oPV44Y\/YKni5jCfJJI\/AAAAAAAATP4\/L2ovCS9bBQIGj5E1uQEjqTTZQExlBUsegCNcBGAsYHQ\/s601\/After%2BEvacuation.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"601\" data-original-width=\"592\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-2G-w-oPV44Y\/YKni5jCfJJI\/AAAAAAAATP4\/L2ovCS9bBQIGj5E1uQEjqTTZQExlBUsegCNcBGAsYHQ\/s320\/After%2BEvacuation.jpg\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003EThe fundamental issue at stake in Shimon HaTzadik and Sheikh Jarrah are crystal clear. Unlike some parts of Israel where territory changed hands in more complex ways, we know exactly what happened and why it happened. And those simple facts tell a story of the UNRWA’s complicity in the ethnic cleansing of Jews, not just today when it serves as a storehouse for Hamas missiles and an employment agency for Hamas propagandists, but back in the 50s.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EJews were ethnically cleansed from Jerusalem after an invasion and occupation. The United Nations, through UNRWA, violated international law by taking part in population transfer by an occupying power which had expelled the indigenous population.
