The genocide is ongoing, Hasbara.
Israeli massacres persist as harsh winter arrives in Gaza
"The Israeli army continues to kill and injure Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, in spite of the 10 October so-called ceasefire.
"Sniper fire, tank shelling, drone strikes and aerial attacks are routine and incessant, especially in areas east of the vague and invisible yellow line demarcated by Israel.
"The United Nations’ humanitarian office stated on 27 November that in the area beyond the so-called yellow line, which comprises more than 50 percent of the Gaza Strip, 'daily detonations of residential buildings continue to be reported and access to humanitarian assets, public infrastructure and agricultural land remains restricted or altogether barred.'"
The Genocide Lie
In today’s debate over Israel, hatred wears the mask of justice. Scroll, march, or listen on campus—everywhere, the same word appears in red: genocide. This idea is not only false; it is obscene. To call Israel’s war against Hamas a genocide is to empty that term of all moral meaning.
Under international law, genocide requires a specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. Nothing that has occurred in Gaza meets that standard. The facts point in precisely the opposite direction.
Israel did not begin this war; Hamas did, with the mass murder, rape, and kidnapping of more than 1,200 civilians on October 7, 2023. The war’s objective was immediately clear: to dismantle a terrorist army and to free the hostages it took. The fighting ended as soon as those hostages were returned. If the aim were extermination, the killing would have continued. The logic of the war itself refutes the charge.
