The "genocide" LIE

A student once told, “The world isn’t ready for a Jew who refuses to be a victim.”

Lie and deny. The Zionist way.

This piece, with over 60 notes, exposes how the lie began (9 years before Swords of Iron) by whom and who copies it.

Excerpt from link:

International Rejection of the Genocide Claim.

This conclusion is supported by a strong consensus of international leaders, experts, and analysts. Based on facts:
the United States,
Canada,
Germany,
France,
the United Kingdom,
Italy,
Poland,
Belgium,
Hungary,
Mexico and others have all explicitly rejected the genocide label.
Under Biden, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin plainly stated before Congress: "We don’t have evidence of that to my knowledge." So has been concluded under Trump. Similarly, top international law expert told Euro News that there is "no clear intent to commit genocide in Gaza."

(The stance of Muslim-majority countries in the OIC Bloc—who wield significant influence in the UN—and pro-socialist states is, unfortunately, predictable. Their decisions, particularly in this case, are driven more by entrenched political ideologies than by objective reasoning).

[...]
Forged in the crucible of Albanese’s antisemitic lies, propped up by Pillay’s corrupt UN commission, and punctuated by the IAGS’s laughable sham, these so-called "genocide" accusations are nothing but Hamas propaganda repackaged to slander Israel. They willfully ignore Israel’s extraordinary measures to minimize civilian harm while combating terrorists who cynically embed themselves in Gaza’s schools, hospitals, and mosques. This isn’t justice; it’s a vile blood libel, weaponizing the term "genocide" to stoke global antisemitism, exploiting the Palestinian cause as a mere pawn in a hateful agenda. Israel stands resolute, a beacon of moral clarity defending its people against unyielding evil, while its accusers wallow in the disgrace of their own bigotry.

a good list!

In: "Truth under Siege: Omer Bartov, a Case Study", Sabrina Soffer (Jerusalem Post, August 19, 2025) lays it out:

A case study of Holocaust, genocide studies professor | The Jerusalem Post

Bartov's genocide accusations feed into Palestinian resistance rhetoric that legitimizes and promotes Hamas.

www.jpost.com

Background and Bartov's Shift.
The article critiques Prof. Omer Bartov, a Brown University Holocaust and genocide studies expert, for abandoning academic rigor in favor of anti-Israel activism. Soffer, a recent GWU graduate researching scholar-activism, attended Bartov's April 7, 2025, lecture at the University of Maryland, where he admitted using "genocide" terminology strategically to counter denialism and influence Western audiences—despite its irrelevance to Gazans suffering from "war crimes" or otherwise. Bartov projected the 1948 UN Genocide Convention but confessed prioritizing political impact over precision.

Historically, Bartov was pro-Israel: In a 2004 'New Republic' piece, he equated Hamas with Hitlerism, advocated forceful confrontation, and labeled anti-Israel protests as antisemitic. In 2010, he rejected genocide accusations against Israel's 1948 War of Independence as distortions fueling antisemitism, calling it a "just war." He also cautioned against diluting "genocide" or politicizing Holocaust memory.

Current Views and Criticisms.
By 2024–2025, Bartov reversed course, likening Israel's Gaza operations to genocidal acts condemned by the Holocaust. He lectured at an antisemitic UPenn protest encampment (while disavowing the antisemitism), resigned from Yad Vashem's editorial board in 2024 over Israel's "carnage," and aligned with critics like Martin Shaw in deeming Gaza a "misnomer" as "war" and Zionism "exclusionary settler-colonialism." Soffer questions his cited justification—Hamas's 2017 charter—as it retains eliminationist anti-Zionist rhetoric, merely repackaged for Western appeal.

The piece points out Bartov's claims bolster Palestinian resistance narratives that legitimize Hamas, reframing Israel via Soviet-era "Islamo-Marxist" tropes like so-called "apartheid" and colonialism, thus desecrating Holocaust memory. He disputes low civilian casualty ratios (e.g., Israel's 1:1.5 vs. urban warfare's 1:9 average, per Urban Warfare Institute) and ignores Hamas's genocidal intent and Iranian funding. In a 'New York Times' op-ed, Bartov infers genocidal "intent" from misrepresented or fabricated Israeli statements, while sidelining Hamas's embedded infrastructure and combat realities.

'The genocide scholar’s dismissal of facts is as troubling as his explicit dismissal of legal standards. While acknowledging no legal consensus on genocide, he argues that we should call Israel’s actions genocidal anyway – because for “people being bombed,” it “doesn’t matter what you call it.” Yet it does matter. The pathological fixation on Israel in the academy, media, and public square has revealed the damage Bartov does. It matters... '

Broader Implications.
Soffer warns that such "scholar-activism" erodes academic integrity, fostering libelous discourse that inverts facts and trivializes legal standards. This fuels real-world violence: campus harassment/assaults of Jewish students, the murder of Israeli embassy staff in Washington, an incendiary attack in Boulder killing an 82-year-old Holocaust survivor, and an assault on Rep. Max Miller. The article calls for rejecting this "charlatanry" to protect truth amid collapsing scholarly boundaries.

So much for the 'ORGY' of the pallyweid campaign. No winners.


The Deadly "Genocide" Hoax: How Anti-Israel Lies Endanger Both Jews Globally and Arabs in the Middle East.

The dangerous lies of Israeli supposed "genocide" doesn't just stoke antisemitic hatred—it actively fuels violence that harms both Jews and Arab "Palestinians." In their pursuit of a false narrative, propagandists incite hatred, ultimately putting innocent lives at risk on both sides of the conflict.

Rather than seeking peace or reconciliation, this dishonest claim provides the lifeblood for extremist groups like Hamas, who manipulate the suffering of their own people for political gain. The only side interested in dead kids: Hamas cynically uses the deaths of Arab "Palestinians" as propaganda tools, feigning concern while obstructing the very possibility of a peaceful resolution. This narrative allows the regime in Gaza to continue its destructive agenda, sacrificing its people for the sake of political leverage.

The tragic irony is that, while the world is distracted by these false claims of genocide, the true path to peace—based on coexistence, mutual recognition, and security—remains deliberately obstructed by those who benefit from the perpetuation of hatred and division.


In short:

False Genocide Claims Fuel Hamas’s War Against Its Own People—Undermining Peace for All.

 

[Pastelli]

Belgian philosopher, Maarten Boudry's essay: "They Don’t Believe It Either: The Gaza Genocide as Ideological Performance" (Oct 21, 2025), points out that accusations of "genocide" lack evidence and function as an ideological performance on the left, similar to the "stolen election" claim on the American right.

Section I: Misinterpretations of Israeli Statements.
In the first section, Boudry examines alleged genocidal rhetoric by Israeli officials. He debunks the claim that Netanyahu's reference to "Amalek" was a call for Palestinian annihilation, noting it comes from Deuteronomy recalling an ancient ambush and serves as a Jewish cultural motif for remembering persecution—appearing on Holocaust memorials in The Hague and Yad Vashem. Critics persist in this interpretation despite corrections.

Boudry cites other distortions:

• Selective editing of Yoav Gallant's speech to omit references to eliminating Hamas
• Misattributing "human animals" to Palestinians rather than Hamas
• Fabricated or mistranslated threats
• Omitting clarifying remarks by President Herzog affirming innocent Palestinians are not targets and expressing regret for their suffering

He notes that abhorrent statements by fringe Israeli figures lack decision-making power and do not establish intent, unlike explicit chains of command required for genocide.

Section II: Lack of Evidence on the Ground.
In the second section, Boudry argues there is no evidence of genocidal intent in IDF actions. Israel's measures—such as evacuation warnings, humanitarian aid deliveries, pauses, polio vaccinations, and AI for minimizing civilian harm—are inconsistent with extermination goals. Casualties, per Hamas figures, are predominantly fighting-age males, and Israel sacrificed soldiers in ground operations to avoid indiscriminate bombing.

High civilian tolls stem from Hamas's strategy of using human shields, embedding in civilian sites, and soliciting casualties for propaganda, while building tunnels only for fighters. Boudry acknowledges Israeli errors, like aid blockades and mismanagement leading to chaos, but maintains these do not meet the UN genocide definition requiring intent to destroy a group.

He contrasts this with Allied WWII bombings, which were more brutal yet not labeled genocide, and identifies Hamas as the only party with genocidal aims in its charter.

Section III: Ideological Explanation.
In the third section, Boudry attributes persistent accusations—despite fabrications, population growth contradicting genocide claims, and reactions opposing peace proposals or refugee openings—to performative ideology rather than sincere belief. Accusers twist evidence to signal allegiance within progressive circles, inverting Holocaust narratives and applying settler-colonial theory that deems Israel's existence inherently genocidal .

This has become a shibboleth, suppressing dissent in academia and institutions.

The Genocide Lie.
What it is, and what it most certainly is not.
Adam Hummel.
Dec 27, 2023
[...]
Genocide is an intentional effort to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, or religious group. What is happening in Gaza today, is not a genocide. If it was, the war would have ended on October 8, 2023, with 2 million dead Palestinians. Israel would not have sacrificed the lives of 164 IDF soldiers, and those hundreds of thousands displaced in Israel would have returned to their homes.

But it is not. The war has lasted over 70 days. Tragically, thousands of Palestinians have died, including many thousands of terrorists, because Hamas has turned the entirety of Gaza into a terror-state. Their terror tunnels run beneath neighbourhoods and critical infrastructure, they use hospitals as military bases, they maintain weapons caches in schools, and they launch rockets from residential locations. These Palestinians have not died because of indiscriminate IDF attacks, and Israel has never expressed an intent, ever, to decimate the Palestinian population. Any civilian death is tragic, but unfortunately, civilians die in war.

Similarly, the entirety of Israel’s conflict with the Palestinian people since 1948 is not a genocide. Israel has never sought to destroy the Palestinian people. Instead, they have sought a sustainable status quo, where they could live side-by-side with them without constant fighting. These proposals have been turned down by the Palestinians many times. During that time, the Palestinian population has ballooned, a fact that on its own, defies the allegation of genocide.

In contrast, the massacre of Israelis on October 7 was an attempted genocide. For decades, Hamas has sought to destroy the entirety of Israel and its inhabitants, and October 7 showed what would happen if they were given the opportunity. They sought to perpetrate a genocide of Jews that was thankfully thwarted..

Deconstruction Zone: Even Hamas’ data disproves genocide lie.
Apr 28, 2025 | Ben-Dror Yemini

The Jewish people emerged from slavery into freedom. The biblical verse from Exodus “Let my people go” became a universal call long ago, one that inspired the African-American struggle in the United States for freedom, liberty and equality. It remains one of the Jewish people’s most powerful messages to humanity.

But humanity has disappointed. It seems that today, even among the so-called enlightened – the champions of “progressive values” – free thought is being trampled. Truth has become optional. Agendas reign supreme.

Just how wide is the gap between facts and agendas? Consider this: Hamas’ Health Ministry recently published its list of casualties up to the most recent ceasefire – over 50,000 names. Setting aside the fact that at least five research-based publications have contradicted these figures, let us – for argument’s sake – accept Hamas’ data, which serve as the main basis for the frequently voiced accusation of “genocide” against Israel.

Is it genocide? In previous conflicts, I used Hamas’ own figures to compare the age distribution of the general population in Gaza to the age distribution of the dead. The results were unequivocal: the vast majority of casualties were men of combat age. Yes – according to Hamas’ own data.

This time, the task is far more complex. Analysing a list of more than 50,000 names is no simple feat. But we are living in a new era – the era of artificial intelligence. I don’t claim to be an expert in the tools or the methods. But at least two meticulous individuals have taken on this challenge – and it turns out both reached the same conclusion.

Before even discussing their findings, one must state clearly: in the case of genocide, there cannot be any meaningful gap between the age distribution of the population and that of the casualties. Genocide, by definition, entails indiscriminate killing – the mass murder of women, children, infants and the elderly, all with the goal of eradicating a population. That is what happened in Darfur. That is what happened in Rwanda. That is not what happened in Gaza.

If it were genocide, there would be no statistical difference between men and women among the dead.

In the ongoing war in Gaza, like previous ones, Hamas’ own data expose the genocide lie. A breakdown of the casualties by age and gender, based on the list published by Hamas’ Health Ministry, shows a stark pattern: across nearly all fighting-age groups, from 14 to 59, men vastly outnumber women among the dead. In most of these age brackets, the number of male casualties is double or more than double that of females.

The figures are most striking in the core combatant age range. Between ages 20 and 44, Hamas data shows 5,850 women were killed, compared to 17,000 men – nearly a threefold difference. Again, these are not figures from an Israeli source but from Hamas itself.

By contrast, among the infants killed, aged 0 to 4, the percentage of male and female deaths roughly aligns with their proportion in the general population, hovering around 50%.

These figures can be called many things – but genocide is not one of them. Every innocent life lost is a tragedy, and the responsibility for this war, from its outset, lies with Hamas, which initiated this cursed war. There is also no denying that irregularities occurred during the fighting, possibly including war crimes. Certainly, there was likely reckless fire. Every suspicion of a war crime – such as the incident in which 15 paramedics were reportedly shot in Rafah – must be investigated and, indeed, many investigations have already been launched. But let us repeat: even if we take Hamas’ data as accurate, they do not support any claim of genocide.

The Propaganda War on Israel Never Stops
Amnesty International lends its once-good name to the genocide lie.
By The Editorial Board.
Dec. 5, 2024.

(WSJ Opinion Docs: This 20 minute film sheds light on the worst antisemitic riot in American history, which occurred in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in 1991. The current wave of antisemitism makes these events newly relevant and worthy of reconsideration).

From the people who brought you “Israeli apartheid” comes another trendy smear: “Israeli genocide.” With a new report Wednesday night, Amnesty International assures its good standing in the anti-Israel herd. The price is to swallow an inversion of reality.

Amnesty poses as a fair-minded critic of Israeli policies, but it tipped its hand in its 2022 report that tried to claim “this system of apartheid originated with the creation of Israel in May 1948.” That’s well before any “occupation,” but it reflects the ideological obsession that treats the Jewish state’s existence, in any borders, as a crime.

Amnesty’s headline-grabbing apartheid report quietly conceded it wasn’t arguing Israel’s laws are analogous to South Africa’s. This new report uses a similar sleight of hand by redefining genocide. The case law at the International Court of Justice requires a finding that “intent to destroy the group, in whole or in part, must be the only reasonable inference which can be drawn from the pattern of conduct.” Amnesty says that’s too high a bar and looks at the “broader picture” and “context.”

By context it means apartheid and all its previous slanders of Israel. What about Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacre, which was genocidal in character? Here’s the report’s opening line: “On 7 October 2023, Israel embarked on a military offensive on the occupied Gaza Strip (Gaza) of unprecedented magnitude, scale and duration.”

Gaza wasn’t occupied, and Hamas, not Israel, embarked on a military offensive. But Amnesty says it will get to the Hamas mass murder later. Here it uses the Oct. 7 massacre to pathologize the Israeli “state of mind resulting from the attacks.”

While Amnesty uses the casualty figures of the “Gaza-based Ministry of Health,” aka Hamas, it never mentions that Israel says 17,000 dead Hamas fighters are among them. It omits the crucial civilian-to-combatant ratio, which would suggest Israel has done better than most in urban warfare.

The report essentially blesses Hamas’s strategy of using human shields. It suggests Israel has no right to attack in civilian areas even if Hamas is using them, just as it wouldn’t if some enemy soldiers had gone home on leave. As if that’s equivalent to terrorist headquarters in hospitals and a 400-mile, terrorist-only tunnel system beneath cities.

Amnesty even criticizes Israel for evacuating civilians from active war zones. This, too, becomes evidence of “genocidal intent” because it displaces the civilians. But Amnesty also criticizes Israel as genocidal in cases where it didn’t evacuate civilians. The game is to twist international law until Israel—or the U.S.—has no way to fight against terrorists.

Not one of the groups yelling genocide calls on Egypt to let women and children escape to safety by opening its border with Gaza. Uniquely in this conflict, they insist that civilians be penned in the war zone. They do so because they know there isn’t an Israeli genocide but rather unintended civilian casualties, which can be used against Israel.

The 'Genocide' Lie's Slow, Quiet Death.
Surus Illinois Surus Illinois | August 22, 2025

97 Trucks were violently looted while Palestinians sought aid &
supplies from trucks that entered Gaza through Israel (Fox News).

By Noah Rothman for National Review - August 20, 2025.
[The ‘Genocide’ Lie’s Slow, Quiet Death | National Review]

You don’t hear much about Israel deliberately engineering a famine in Gaza anymore. Only a few weeks ago, that allegation was nearly ubiquitous. It dominated left-of-center discourse across the Western world, and, among its participants, Israel’s caricatured wickedness was simply assumed. Likewise, the tactical advantages Jerusalem was supposed to accrue from this theatrically evil scheme were similarly presumed. The Jewish state, it was widely surmised, must be just that villainous.

But the extraordinary claim persisted in the absence of equally extraordinary evidence for as long as it could. In the ensuing weeks, the children – and it was almost exclusively children – who were heralded by legacy media outlets and anti-Israel activist organizations as the victims of Israeli malignancy were revealed to have genetic conditions that accounted for their skeletal frames. The pallets of aid rotting on U.N.-run platforms on Gaza’s borders cast doubt on the institution’s claim that Israel was preventing aid from flowing into the Strip, as did the U.N.’s increasingly dubious claims about the extent to which Hamas had never pilfered aid and throttled Palestinians’ access to it. The evidence in opposition to the central claim against Israel continued to mount. Meanwhile, Israel’s critics marshalled little in the way of counterevidence – retreating into the community of true believers for whom no evidence of Israeli perfidy is necessary to buttress the supposition that Jerusalem is forever in the wrong.

Outside those cloistered environs, however, many of the activists and reporters who obsessed over the deliberate famine in Gaza just stopped talking about it. Few who were taken in by this propaganda campaign have expressed any mea culpas. Indeed, there aren’t many who are even willing to acknowledge their fault. To her credit, Massachusetts congresswoman Katherine Clark is not among them.

“Last week, while attending an event in my district, I repeated the word ‘genocide’ in response to a question,” the House minority whip told Jewish News Syndicate on Monday. “I want to be clear that I am not accusing Israel of genocide.”

Clark deserves credit for at least recognizing that she was merely mouthing the rhetoric that was expected of her without applying any critical thought to what she was saying. Sure, her about-face was probably a result of prodding by Israel-backing interest groups, but pro-Hamas activists do not enjoy a monopoly on applying pressure to America’s elected leaders. And at least now, Clark’s position benefits from the preponderance of supporting evidence. Her backtracking is not an apology, but it’s better than nothing.

The slow death of the genocide lie.
Israelophobic claims about the ‘genocide’ in Gaza are finally crashing against the shores of truth.

Brendan O'Neill, chief political writer.
8th September 2025.

Now we know: Gaza must be a genocide because Adolf Hitler says it is. And that man knows a thing or two about genocide. His name crops up in the list of experts behind the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), which last week decreed that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians. He seems to have moved, though: he’s now ‘Adolf Hitler of Gaza City’ rather than of Berlin. Yet there he is, alongside Emperor Palpatine and the Cookie Monster, proudly aligning himself with this organisation whose latest ‘resolution’ says Israel has engaged in ‘systematic and widespread crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide’.

It’s not actually Hitler. He’s been dead for 80 years. It’s not even some Nazi fanboy in Gaza City who’s taken his favourite murderer’s name. No, it’s an online wag who wants the world to know that the IAGS is not all it’s cracked up to be. For a start, any chump can become a member for $30. Hence why, for a period of time last week, this esteemed gathering of human-rights boffins included not only the usual tenured worthies who think their word counts for more than everyone else’s, but also the Cookie Monster, sporting a fetching, Hamas-style bandana.

When future historians look back on the Israelophobic delirium of the post-7 October moment, last week might strike them as the week the genocide lie finally died. For it started with media outlets across Christendom reporting with naked glee that ‘the experts’ have ruled that Israel really is the genocidal loon of world affairs. And it ended with those experts looking damn foolish, not to mention partisan, opportunistic and cynical. As the Free Press put it, the lesson is that when you see the phrase ‘experts say’ in a headline, it’s a sign to think twice and for yourself’.

The closer one looks at the IAGS and its resolution, the more it smacks of a self-appointed kangaroo court of academic smartarses desperate to pin the sickest of crimes on the Jewish State. First, there’s the make-up of the IAGS. Salo Aizenberg of HonestReporting, which challenges media prejudice against Israel, found not only that fictional baddies from Star Wars have joined the IAGS, but also that 80 of its 500 members are based at universities in Iraq. Is Iraq well known for its genocide scholarship, so much so that its professors account for nearly 20 per cent of a global association of genocide oracles?

Then there’s the tiny numbers involved. Israelophobic hotheads spent last week crowing that ‘86 per cent’ of the world’s ‘leading genocide scholars’ now say Gaza is a genocide. If you deny this is a genocide, then you’re ‘as much in denial of reality as a climate denier’, said Owen Jones – only ‘far more depraved’.

But it isn’t true that ‘86 per cent of genocide scholars’ backed this resolution. In fact, it was 86 per cent of those who could be arsed to vote. Which was only 21.6 per cent of the organisation. People have done the maths and this means a measly 108 of ‘the experts’, all of whom are unnamed, supported the charge against Israel. It is preposterous to say the debate over Gaza has been ended by a purple-prose resolution nodded through by just over a hundred academics who won’t even put their names to their incredibly serious accusations. In fact, it’s borderline tyrannical, as if this resolution were some kind of papal bull that ought to crush once and for all the supposed blasphemy of saying Gaza is a war, not a genocide.

Then there was the unusual way the resolution was pushed through. According to genocide scholar Sara Brown, who’s been a member of IAGS for 10 years and served two terms on its advisory board, there was a staggering lack of free discussion. Typically, she said, the IAGS gathers members in a ‘virtual town hall’ when it drafts controversial resolutions. But this time, the leadership ‘declined’ to have any such debate. What an ‘embarrassing absence of professionalism’, she said.

Most damning of all is the actual content of the resolution. It is about as far from judicious analysis as you can get. The opening paragraph says Israel ‘has killed more than 59,000 adults and children’ in Gaza. It is a flagrant abandonment of a scholar’s prime duty – to pursue truth – to talk about the dead in Gaza without mentioning that a very significant percentage of them are Hamas fighters. The resolution accuses Israel of carrying out ‘deliberate attacks’ on ‘hospitals, homes, commercial buildings’. Again, Hamas is invisibilised – no mention is made of the hard-proven fact that Hamas operates in such buildings. It is a profound inversion of truth to accuse Israel of turning civilian infrastructure into warzones when it was Hamas that did that.

Perhaps ‘the experts’ neglected to mention that many of the dead are Hamas militants because to do so would be to admit this is war. Not a new holocaust, but war. War between an army of anti-Semites and the democratic state they so savagely attacked on 7 October 2023. It is a lie of omission to erase the Jew-hating militia from the tragic story of Gaza. When inconvenient facts are buried to stitch someone up in a court of law, we call it a miscarriage of justice. So what should we call this travesty of a resolution?

Also last week, the alternative experts at the Scholars for Truth About Genocide made a highly convincing case that what’s happening in Gaza is war. The IAGS, they said, failed to mention one simple fact: that this tragedy would end ‘if Hamas were to release all the hostages… and lay down their weapons’. To leave out such info is an outrage, they said, because it wilfully obscures the truth that Israel’s intention in Gaza is not to destroy the Palestinian people but to secure the return of its own people and fortify its territory against further attacks from the neo-fascists of Hamas. These are war aims, not plans for extermination, and so they are casually, cynically redacted by the ‘genocide’ obsessives.

Two alternative experts, writing in the Jerusalem Post, have reminded us of another truth overlooked by the IAGS – that Israel has ‘facilitated a large volume of humanitarian assistance’ for Gaza. It has ‘helped [to] vaccinate children in Gaza’ as well as delivering medical equipment and fuel for hospitals. People can debate, if they like, whether Israel has done this stuff well or not. But the idea that a ‘genocidal’ state would try to attend to the food and health needs of the people it is genociding is so absurd that it deserves nothing but the most savage ridicule.

The events of last week confirmed that misinformation is the rotten soil in which the genocide lie has taken root. Will it die off now? Not right away. Too many people now accrue their thin sense of virtue through propagating this nonsense so that they might pose as warriors ‘on the right side of history’. Indeed, falsely accusing the Jewish nation of genocide is fast becoming the most conformist cry of the cultural establishment, so much so that they will unceremoniously cast you out as a ‘denier’ if you dare to demur from their ideological loathing for the Jewish nation that they have the gall to doll up as ‘scholarship’ or ‘activism’. But the lie has certainly taken a beating. The truth is crying out for a fair hearing. Let’s listen.

The fake “genocide” claim depends entirely on twisting and falsifying Herzog and Gallant’s words to invent a supposed “special intent.” Every report, article, scholar and UN commission pushing this narrative knowingly lies about their words.

Herzog’s words are particularly cherry-picked and twisted, ignoring everything else he said in the same press conference. Everyone claiming Herzog intended genocide is knowingly lying. We know it, they know it, they know we know it.

There is no evidence Gallant called ALL Palestinians “human animals.” None. In dozens of comments and tweets he referred to Hamas. Fake “scholar” Omer Bartov uses the same fake intent, this thread debunks the Gallant lie:

ALL genocide “reports” rely, as core evidence, on the lie that Gallant called Palestinians “human animals.” There is no evidence for this. He referred to Hamas constantly. The dishonesty by every “genocide expert” like @bartov_omer is beyond belief.

Not once did Gallant call Palestinians “human animals.” There is no quote—none. Ever. Fabricated evidence. Genocide requires fully conclusive proof of intent. This isn’t even close. There are dozens of example where Gallant referred to Hamas.

Conclusion: Claims that Gallant is guilty of expressing genocidal intent towards Palestinians because he said on Oct 9 “we are fighting against human animals” (a perfect description of Hamas) is the height of intellectual dishonesty.

Herzog’s words are particularly cherry-picked and twisted, ignoring everything else he said in the same press conference. Everyone claiming Herzog intended genocide is knowingly lying. We know it, they know it, they know we know it. There is no evidence Gallant called ALL Palestinians “human animals.” None. In dozens of comments and tweets he referred to Hamas. Fake “scholar” Omer Bartov uses the same fake intent, this thread debunks the Gallant lie: ALL genocide “reports” rely, as core evidence, on the lie that Gallant called Palestinians “human animals.” There is no evidence for this. He referred to Hamas constantly. The dishonesty by every “genocide expert” like @bartov_omer is beyond belief. Not once did Gallant call Palestinians “human animals.” There is no quote—none. Ever. Fabricated evidence. Genocide requires fully conclusive proof of intent. This isn’t even close. There are dozens of example where Gallant referred to Hamas. Conclusion: Claims that Gallant is guilty of expressing genocidal intent towards Palestinians because he said on Oct 9 “we are fighting against human animals” (a perfect description of Hamas) is the height of intellectual dishonesty.

Hard pass.

I don’t need it. I have long since observed that the claim that Israel is guilty of “genocide” in Gaza is deliberate bullshit. For many of our fellow message board members, to make this observation results in accusations of “racist” or “Nazi” or “traitor.”

Fortunately I can’t take those assclowns seriously.
