The "genocide" LIE

In the months since "Palestine" regime Hamas’s October 7 attacks, there has been a full-force campaign to frame Israel’s counteroffensive in Gaza as a supposed "genocide."

The charge is not only false—it is an outrageous distortion of both international law and moral truth. The accusation dishonors the real victims of genocide, manipulates suffering for political purposes, and, worst of all, shields the genocidal intentions of Hamas behind a false moral equivalence.

Simple introduction:

The war launched in retaliation to Hamas's October 7, 2023, attack that massacred over 1,200 Israelis --includibg via suffocating families in shelters, behadings, burning families alive, mass rapes, etc.-- and kidnapped 251 hostages (with 50 still captive, only 20+ presumed alive)—do not meet the UN's 1948 genocide definition, as there was no preplanned intent to destroy Palestinians as a group.

While acknowledging tens of thousands of Gazan deaths and injuries, it should be attributed the conflict's continuation to Hamas's refusal to release hostages, use of human shields, and obstruction of aid, rather than Israeli so-called "genocidal" aims.

Hamas embodies genocidal intent, its 1988 Covenant and 2017 charter, which outline four core themes: the total destruction of Israel for a Sharia-based state; unceasing jihad; rejection of negotiations; and antisemitic conspiracy theories. Its covenant's invocation of obliterating Israel is per Islamic precedent.

In fact: 'Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and Iran are the true aggressors practicing genocide'. Even the supposed "moderate" Palestinian Authority has been accused as such.

And as Historians Goda & Herf reminded, if 'Genocide,' it's rather by Hamas that fits the definition.

Prominent leader of Aboriginal Australians: "No genocide nor apartheid in Israel. Gaza has ruled itself since the withdrawal of Israel in 2005. Hamas has fired thousands of missiles against Israel. The 7th Oct. Hamas broke the truce by invading Israel, killing, gang raping, torturing, mutilating, kidnapping civilians."

'Leading genocide scholar Israel Charny on Gaza:

1. FACT: Israel has never initiated bombings or missile attacks on Gaza except in response to bombings and missile attacks on Israel by Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other Palestinian terrorists.

2. FACT: The present war was initiated by a genocidal attack on October 7, 2023 that killed every Israeli in sight including babies, women, the elderly and infirm along with many unarmed non-combatant party-going teenagers and young people. That attack included mass rape and frightful torture and mutilation, as well as kidnapping of hundreds of Israeli hostages. Yet Israeli popular culture did NOT call for extermination of the Palestinians.

3. FACT: The official charter of Hamas seeks to exterminate Jews and destroy the nation of Israel. This is declared intent to commit genocide.

4. FACT: Hamas has placed weapon systems in the homes of civilians and in civilian institutions such as schools and hospitals in total disregard of the consequences for its people.

5. FACT: Zionism was and is a response to stop the endless suffering of Jews from genocide. Zionism has never called for the eradication of Palestinians.

Or in the words of former US ambassador:

You don’t need to be a “scholar” to define genocide. All you need is a dictionary, which defines genocide as the deliberate killing of a large number of members of an ethnic group with the intention of eliminating that group. That’s the definition, and Israel’s conduct plainly does not meet it.

First, Israel is responding to an unprovoked, barbaric attack within its borders on Oct. 7, 2023, and fighting terrorists who embed themselves within civilian assets. The terrorists’ whole strategy is to falsely advertise civilian deaths and openly claim a desire to repeat their attack as often as they can.

Second, Israel has shown no intention of eliminating the Palestinians in Gaza, as evidenced by the exceedingly small percentage of civilians relative to militants who have been killed, the smallest percentage in any urban war.

Third, Israel clearly has the military power to destroy the Gaza Strip and all who live in it. If it wanted to, Israel could have done that at almost any time in its history, but it never would because genocide decidedly is against the Israeli ethos and values.

Fourth, Palestinian communities under Israeli control have grown nearly 10-fold since Israel took over.

Fifth, some 20% of Israeli citizens are Palestinian Arabs and, under Israeli rule, they have ascended to the highest echelons of business, law, medicine and academia.

International Rejection of the Genocide Claim.

This conclusion is supported by a strong consensus of international leaders, experts, and analysts. Based on facts:

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).

The Legal Definition of Genocide: Why Israel Does Not Meet the Threshold.

Even within the world of international law, where words carry legal weight, no credible consensus exists that Israel's actions meet the legal threshold of genocide.

Over 50 experts in genocide studies, military ethics, and international law—many of them with no political allegiance to Israel—have rejected the claim as unfounded.

As international law scholar Nitsana Darshan-Leitner put it bluntly:

"It does not meet the legal definition of genocide."

The legal definition of genocide—enshrined in the 1948 Genocide Convention—requires a clear, proven intent to destroy a group "in whole or in part." No such intent exists here. As the American Jewish Committee notes, Israel’s objective is not the destruction of Palestinians, but the dismantling of a terror infrastructure embedded within a civilian population.

The Morality of the Conflict: Fighting Hamas, Not Palestinians.

That distinction matters. Israel is not fighting Arab-Palestinians—it is fighting Hamas, an organization that carried out a premeditated massacre of 1,200 Israelis on October 7 and has openly declared its intent to exterminate Jews. To equate Israel’s military response to genocide is not just legally baseless—it’s morally perverse.

With Every Photo of a ‘Starving’ Gazan Proving Fake, How Can You Believe the Famine Claims?

The media has once again fallen for the viral images showing the suffering of Gazans—images that tell a heartbreaking, yet often distorted, story.

With every one of these photos that is exposed as either staged, misrepresented, or lacking crucial context, it becomes increasingly difficult to accept the famine claims coming out of Gaza at face value.

An investigation uncovered that the 12 faces circulating in widely-shared photos as “starving victims of Gaza” are in fact suffering from long-term, pre-existing health conditions, such as cystic fibrosis and rickets, not malnutrition due to a lack of food. The images that were widely circulated, painted a misleading picture of an entire population, one that preyed on the emotions of an uninformed global audience.

There is no doubt that the images and narratives presented by outlets such as Al Jazeera, which has long been accused of acting as a mouthpiece for Hamas - not to mention the active terrotists serving as its "journalists,", or by the pro-Hamas propaganda from Erdogan's state-controlled Anadolu Agency, have played a significant role in shaping public opinion.

These outlets, which often pass off active terrorists as "journalists" or give a platform to pro-Hamas voices, have consistently prioritized emotional manipulation over factual reporting.

This isn’t the first time misleading images have been weaponized in the battle for global sympathy. In this instance, an online frenzy was sparked with little to no scrutiny, allowing these photos to spread unchecked and serve a political agenda.

The context behind these images, however, reveals a different story, one that calls for a deeper look at the complexities of the Gaza situation.

Yes, Gaza is suffering, but it’s crucial to look beyond the narrative of "starving victims" and recognize the ongoing complexities—rooted in the political, social, and military realities—driving the region's crises.

Rather than taking at face value everything we are shown through viral images, it’s time for the international community to pause, question, and demand more transparency when it comes to reporting on the humanitarian situation. It’s too easy to demonize one side of the conflict without considering the full scope of what is truly happening.

By continuing to fall for these manipulated images, we do a disservice to the people who truly need help, and to the truth itself.

Israeli Military's Efforts to Minimize Civilian Casualties: A Comparative Analysis of Urban Warfare.

'The Israeli military’s efforts to avoid civilian casualties have been noted by several experts in battle. Col. Richard Kemp, who served as head of British forces in Afghanistan, has repeatedly stated that the normal ratio of civilians killed to combatants in an urban conflict is nine civilians for every one combatant, and that the best ratio was 4-1.

By contrast, Israel’s battle ratio is one civilian killed for every two combatants.

John Spencer, director of urban warfare at the West Point Military Academy, said Israel “has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history... I have reviewed their orders, watched their targeting process, and seen soldiers take real risks to avoid harming civilians. Nothing I have seen or studied resembles genocide or genocidal intent."

And: 'Who bears responsibility for Gaza’s suffering? No modern army has taken greater precautions to minimize civilian casualties than Israel’s. Jerusalem pioneered the “knock on the roof” tactic: firing warning shots on buildings to prompt evacuation. It sends SMS messages, phone calls, and leaflets and coordinates evacuation routes – even as Hamas forcibly blocks civilians from leaving to preserve its human shields. Israel’s evacuation efforts in Gaza far exceed the conduct of the US in Fallujah, NATO in Belgrade, or any nation engaged in urban warfare. Israel stops combat operations for humanitarian pauses, facilitates aid deliveries, and treats Gazans in its hospitals. These are not the actions of a genocidal state. They are the actions of a military constrained by morality and law, even while fighting an enemy that respects neither.'

As was expressed: "Israel warns civilians before every strike. Israel opens humanitarian corridors. Israel delivers aid. But Hamas chooses death—for Israelis and for its own people."

Hamas’ Brutal Crimes Against Its Own People Include:

1. Hamas leaders intentionally calculate civilian casualties to further their own political agenda, believing that greater bloodshed will bolster their cause. Leadership's strategy hinges on turning innocent lives into propaganda to outlast Israel's defense efforts.

2. Hamas obstructs Gazans from evacuating to safer areas, preventing them from fleeing Israel’s humane offers of sanctuary. Despite Israeli efforts to help civilians escape the danger, Hamas is blocking them, choosing to keep the population in harm’s way to further its propaganda narrative.

3. Hamas has a long history of using its own civilians as human shields. Hamas has long employed the despicable tactic of using its own civilians as human shields, deliberately placing them in harm's way to further its violent agenda. By embedding military infrastructure within densely populated areas, such as homes, schools, and hospitals, Hamas ensures that any Israeli response will risk civilian casualties, which they then exploit for propaganda. A tactic Arab 'Palestine' employed since the days of Yasser Arafat in Lebabon. This strategy is designed to create maximum civilian casualties for international outcry while ensuring Hamas fighters remain shielded. This reckless strategy --dubbed the "dead baby strategy"-- not only endangers the lives of innocent Gazans but also violates international law, all while Hamas prioritizes its own survival over the well-being of the people it claims to represent.

4. Hamas routinely targets humanitarian aid efforts, refusing assistance to its people and attacking organizations attempting to help. Even Gaza’s own civilians seeking food, medicine, and shelter are not safe from Hamas violence. No wonder Hamas is upset: By around mid-July, 2025, US/Israeli GHF delivered 76+ million meals while "bypassing Hamas," weakening its monopoly.

Media Manipulation: Hamas-Controlled Sources and the Misrepresentation of Gaza's Casualties.

The casualty figures and claims about who qualifies as a civilian come from Hamas-controlled sources.

Media outlets like BBC frequently disguise this fact by citing 'health officials' in Gaza, without disclosing that these so-called officials are directly controlled by the genocidal Hamas regime. This manipulation skews the narrative and obscures the true nature of the situation on the ground.

Why the Numbers from Hamas' "Health Ministry" Are Untrustworthy.

When assessing casualty numbers coming out of Gaza, it’s essential to critically evaluate the sources of information—especially when those sources have a known political agenda. In the case of the Gaza Health Ministry, which operates under Hamas, the numbers provided are far from reliable. Here are some key reasons why we must question the narrative they put forward:

1. The UN Has Already Rejected Hamas' Claims.

Initially, the United Nations accepted Hamas' figures regarding civilian casualties. However, they were forced to issue a clarification, admitting that the numbers claimed by Hamas—especially regarding the proportion of women and children among the dead—were inflated. According to the UN’s own revision, women and children made up about a third of the casualties, not the majority as was originally reported.

2. Academic Research Discredits Hamas' Casualty Reports.

A study by an expert from the University of Pennsylvania, published in Tablet Magazine, found that Hamas' casualty reports were highly exaggerated. The study showed that the actual ratio of combatants to civilians killed was close to 1:1. This data contradicts the narrative that Gaza’s casualties are mostly civilians, a myth perpetuated by Hamas and amplified by international media. This study is not an isolated one—other analyses have also raised doubts about the reliability of the figures released by the Hamas-run Health Ministry.

3. The Washington Institute Weighs In.

The Washington Institute, a respected American think tank, has also expressed skepticism about the casualty numbers provided by Hamas. Their analysis argues that these figures lack credibility and appear to be deliberately distorted to frame Israel's actions as an indiscriminate attack on Gaza's civilian population. According to the study, the distortion of casualty figures has created a false narrative of widespread civilian slaughter.

4. A New Statistical Analysis Challenges Hamas' Numbers.

A deeper dive into casualty data, led by data analyst Mark Zlochin, has further undermined Hamas' claims. In a detailed analysis published in the Telegraph, Zlochin focused on the deaths of 150 UNRWA workers during the war. He found that 62% of those killed were men, despite men comprising only 41% of the UNRWA workforce in Gaza. This statistic suggests that many UNRWA workers were fighting for Hamas, which explains why men—who were more likely to be combatants—had a higher death rate. This sharply contradicts the claim that women and children were the predominant victims of Israeli actions.

Furthermore, Zlochin’s analysis estimates that around 18,000 people have died in Gaza—far fewer than Hamas' inflated figure of 32,000. When compared with data from the UN, which has reported that women and children account for less than 40% of the casualties, the disparity becomes even more apparent.

5. The Myth of the "10,000 Missing".

Perhaps the most egregious example of Hamas’ manipulation of data is the “10,000 missing” claim. Despite no new evidence emerging over the course of four months, the number of missing persons in Gaza has remained exactly at 10,000. This number, based solely on Hamas' reports, is treated as fact by the UN and the media. Yet, no one can provide names, nor can anyone verify the methodology used to arrive at this number. For months, the world has been told that 10,000 people are buried under the rubble—but no one has been found. This statistic is fabricated to create a sense of urgency and desperation, fueling anti-Israel sentiment.

These false and misleading figures play into a larger narrative designed to demonize Israel and garner international sympathy for Hamas. But the evidence is clear: the casualty numbers from Gaza are not only unreliable, but they are also intentionally manipulated for political purposes. When reporting on this conflict, it is critical to question the source of the data and recognize that Hamas’ narrative should not be accepted at face value.

6. Study Reveals Hamas Manipulated Civilian Death Toll in Gaza Conflict for Propaganda, with Media Uncritically Repeating Claims.

"Study by the Henry Jackson Society think tank finds the number of civilians reported killed in the Gaza conflict has been manipulated by Hamas-run authorities in Gaza for propaganda purposes, with international media often repeating the claims without scrutiny."

Revealing Admission: 80% of Gaza Fatalities Are Hamas Fighters or Their Families.

A startling admission from [inside] Hamas in late 2024 revealed that approximately 80% of Gaza’s fatalities are either Hamas militants or their family members. This stark statistic underscores the immense human toll of the conflict, where non-combatants often bear the brunt of violence, and raises questions about the true nature of casualties in warzones where militant groups are deeply embedded within civilian populations.

COGAT

COGAT, Israel's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, plays a critical role in facilitating humanitarian aid to Gaza, delivering thousands of trucks of food, medical supplies, and essentials despite Hamas's terrorism and UN failures.

Since May 2025, COGAT has overseen over 10,000 aid trucks, innovative merchant import systems, and the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to bypass Hamas's looting. The UN, particularly UNRWA, obstructs aid distribution, with evidence of 600 undelivered trucks and Hamas infiltration in its ranks. Hamas's crimes— from the October 7, 2023, massacre to stealing 88% of UN aid trucks—fuel Gaza's suffering, using civilians as shields and propaganda tools. Israel, through COGAT, remains committed to Palestinian welfare, exposing UN complicity and Hamas atrocities while offering a path to a terror-free Gaza.

TheGazaYouDontSee.

'Imshin' (Jacqui Peleg) is a social media commentator known for monitoring and curating videos from Gaza, offering a counter-narrative to mainstream portrayals.

1. What She Shows. (#TheGazaYouDontSee):

She shares content showing everyday life in Gaza — luxury shopping, well-stocked stores, social events — to challenge widespread images of constant suffering and poverty. She 'paints a vivid picture of Gazan society through the eyes of the people themselves.'

2. Exposes Hamas Control: Imshin uses Gazans' own content to highlight how Hamas diverts aid, controls resources, and maintains political and economic dominance in Gaza.

3. Transparency & Sourcing: She includes timestamps and source links, underscoring credibility and relying on primary material from Gazans themselves.

4. Platforms & Reach: Active mainly on X (Twitter) [x.com/imshin] with 90K+ followers, also on YouTube, and has featured on pro-Israel platforms like "Jonny Gould’s Jewish State".

5. Goal: Goal: to provide a more balanced — view of Gaza, focusing on life under Hamas and challenging simplified victim narratives.

Truth Over Propaganda: No to Genocide Lies.

Exposing the Tactics: Accusations First, Altered Facts Later.

The Reality Behind 'Apartheid' and 'Pallywood' Lies.

The so-called "genocide" narrative is a baseless lie—fabricated from the outset to delegitimize Israel and distort the facts.

Terms like “apartheid” and “genocide” are weaponized buzzwords, used to mislead the world and manipulate public perception.

Enter Pallyweid: a strategy designed to stage media narratives and create false images in order to generate sympathy for a cause built on lies.

The 'apartheid' slur was first propagated by Ahmad Shukeiri, a deeply hateful figure and Nazi sympathizer who not only supported the regime but also justified the Holocaust months after it occurred. In 1961, Shukeiri introduced the false comparison of Israel to apartheid in order to advance his agenda of hatred. Just a few years later, in 1969, he openly claimed that Palestinian Arabs had cheered and celebrated the Nazis during World War II. His rhetoric reflected a genocidal mindset, underscored by his infamous 1967 prediction that 'none of them will survive.'

(Omar Shakir, an outspoken anti-Israel activist with a long history of advocating against Israel’s right to exist, used his position at Human Rights Watch to push a biased and misleading narrative in 2021. He notably manipulated the definition of 'apartheid' to fit his agenda, distorting facts and falsely depicting Israel as a monolithic, all-white state, despite its diverse multi-ethnic, multi-color population).

It was never factual, as Israeli governments emphasize equality for all inhabitants, regardless of race or religion, and Arab citizens of Israel have voting rights, representation in parliament (Knesset), and access to institutions—rights denied under actual apartheid

These words and phrases—“apartheid,” “genocide”—are nothing more than tools of deception [Pallyweid].

They have been employed for decades to spread lies, distort the truth, and delegitimize Israel. But the facts on the ground tell a different story: Israel has always sought peace, while its enemies have consistently sought its destruction.

The lies are not about justice or human rights; they are part of a broader, coordinated effort to erase Israel’s right to exist and rewrite history. We refuse to accept this false narrative.

From A. Shukeiri to F. Albanese: The Use of Factless Buzzwords Like 'Apartheid' and 'Genocide' --'Racism' in between-- to Smear Israel.

In between these two, the Arab League racist campaign to apply the label 'racism' on Zionists [that] began in the 1970s. Racist because it singles out the world's only Jewish state for moral condemnation while ignoring Arab states' own discrimination (e.g., expulsions of 800,000–1,000,000 Jews from Arab countries post-1948).

It was revoked in 1991 (Resolution 46/86) by 111–25, amid the post-Cold War thaw and Madrid Peace Conference.

The 1973 UN resolution linking "apartheid and Zionism" as an "unholy alliance" with South Africa further embedded the buzzword.

The term "apartheid," rooted in South Africa’s system of racial segregation, is misapplied to Israel, where Jews and Arabs share citizenship, legal protections, and public spaces.

Israel’s security measures—such as checkpoints or the West Bank barrier—are driven by the need to counter persistent threats, including terrorism and rocket attacks, not racial ideology. These policies, while restrictive, apply based on geography and security risks, affecting Jews and Arabs alike in high-risk areas.

For example, Israeli Arabs, who make up 20% of the population, enjoy voting rights, representation in the Knesset, and access to education and healthcare on par with Jewish citizens. In addition, Arabs often enjoy preferential treatment: in employment, education, prison conditions, land issues.

Alex Hearn, the director of Labour Against Antisemitism:

'The term “genocide” was coined by Jewish lawyer Ralph Lemkin, defining campaigns designed to wipe out entire ethnic groups such as the Nazis did, who murdered 49 members of his family. But using the term as a weapon in a propaganda battle renders it meaningless, unable to provide the protection it was designed for. Vasily Grosman, who witnessed the Nazi death camps and gave one of the earliest accounts, wrote in Life and Fate: “Tell me what you accuse the Jews of – I’ll tell you what you are guilty of”. The massacre on October 7 2023 showed clear genocidal intent by Hamas, who proudly admitted trying to wipe out as many Jews as possible. The genocide accusation against Israel began the same day as this attempted genocide, before there was any Israeli response. But this narrative has deeper historical roots.

The genocide accusation was officially formulated already in 2001 at the UN Conference Against Racism in Durban. Among racist literature showing Jews with big noses and bloody fangs, a coalition of NGOs approved a report declaring Israel guilty of genocide. This campaign is now 24 years old.'

Thus, from A. Shukeiri to F. Albanese: The use of factless buzzwords like 'apartheid,' 'genocide,' and 'racism' are tactics employed to smear Israel and distort its right to defend itself.

These accusations, fueled by Pallywood-style propaganda, form part of a broader campaign known as the 'PR Jihad,' aimed at delegitimizing Israel on the global stage. Such misleading narratives distract from the real issues and overlook the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, further undermining any prospects for peace.

The Role of Propagandists: Francesca Albanese and the UN's Bias.

Meanwhile, some of the most aggressive promoters of the genocide smear are not objective observers at all. Chief among them is Francesca Albanese, the UN’s so-called "Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories."

Albanese’s long history of blatant antisemitism, including comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and dismissing the mass rape of Israeli women on October 7, exposes her as a propagandist rather than a neutral expert.

She has been peddling genocide narratives against Israel since at least 2014, and in her current UN role, she has weaponized her position to demonize the Jewish state relentlessly—dragging even affiliated UN bodies into her campaign of disinformation.

Fun fact: Gaza’s population has grown from 1.1 million in 2000 to over 2 million today.

The UN’s Structural Bias Against Israel.

Albanese's terrible case is not just about personal bias—it reflects a deeper structural problem: the UN’s long-standing institutional prejudice against Israel. This includes undue influence from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), an Islamic bloc that routinely drives anti-Israel resolutions, and the continued presence of UNRWA, an agency deeply entangled with Hamas. UNRWA has repeatedly been exposed for facilitating and harboring Hamas operatives, effectively giving cover to genocidal terrorists under the UN flag.

UN's "Independent" Pillay Commission: An Advocacy Document, Not Objective Reporting.

The September 2025 so-called "independent" Pillay Commission—based on factual errors—is a complete oxymoron, especially given the long-standing anti-Israel bias of its chair, Navi Pillay. Her 'commission' consisted of three members:

One of them, Miloon Kothari, claimed the “Jewish lobby” controls social media, and Navi Pillay, defended him. Her previous track record, including her actions as head of the 2021 Commission, shows a consistent pattern of skewed narratives that serve political agendas rather than objective fact-finding.

It’s no surprise that she would align herself with figures like Francesca Albanese. This entire Commission’s supposed neutrality is nothing more than a facade, built on a foundation of pre-existing anti-Israel rhetoric.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) and Its Lost Credibility.

The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) has been exposed as a politicized, illegitimate organization, especially following its controversial resolution accusing Israel of genocide.

Membership in IAGS surged among Islamists after the October 7 Hamas atrocities, further fueling the group’s anti-Israel bias, using genocidal regime Hamas data. The resolution was passed with only 28% of the membership participating, and without proper debate or dissent, undermining its credibility.

Thus...

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. Not to mention UN's complicity. 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.

The Falsehood of the "Genocide" Claim: Propaganda and Misleading Narratives.

The absurd claim by Yuval Avraham, a member of an anti-Israel group whose speech was condemned as antisemitic by even left-wing dominated media in 2024, that because intelligence identified only around 9,000 terrorists, the remaining individuals must be civilians, is as misguided as it is misleading. This baseless assumption was also prominently featured in the propaganda "report."

In reality, many of these full-time terrorists operate with a network of collaborators and supporters—helpers who assist in carrying out attacks, logistics, and recruitment. The situation is far more complex than the simplistic narrative being pushed.

The Humanitarian Crisis: Who Is Really Responsible?

Allegations that Israel is starving Gaza’s population have been firmly debunked. In fact, Hamas is responsible for stealing humanitarian aid and manipulating images to falsely depict Gazans as starving. Even U.S. President Donald Trump, known for not mincing words, noted that "they’re in a war there," emphasizing the devastating reality of conflict rather than any genocidal intent.

The Political Weaponization of the Genocide Narrative.

The dangerous 'virus' spread of the "genocide" narrative is gaining traction, but the evidence for such an accusation is remarkably zero. The claims from self-proclaimed humanitarian organizations and "leading genocide experts" are nothing more than a cycle of repetition—relying on Hamas casualty figures and selective quotes from Israeli officials, like Prime Minister Netanyahu's reference to Amalek and former Defense Minister Gallant’s description of Hamas as "human animals."

What is consistently ignored in these reports, however, is the reality that Israel is at war with an Islamist terrorist organization—a group that has embedded its military infrastructure within civilian areas, including hospitals, schools, and mosques, using hundreds of miles of tunnels to shield itself from retaliation. The only way the "genocide" narrative holds any weight is if Hamas is erased from the story entirely. Yet, this is precisely what many of these so-called reports do: conveniently omit Hamas and its role in the conflict.

Omer Bartov, a [biased] scholar, an ardent foe of Netanyahu, featured in The New York Times, had been "prepping" his genocide case against Israel for years—long before the current war began. This reveals what many suspected: the genocide accusation isn’t a legal finding. It’s a political weapon dressed in the language of international justice.

Despite Bartov's claims, quotes from Israeli officials (e.g., Netanyahu's Amalek reference) have been calls for unity, not extermination.

As a noted writer concludes that critics like Bartov shamefully invert victim and perpetrator roles.

Holocaust historian Norman J. W. Goda:

There was Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s comments about “human animals.” Yair Rosenberg wrote in The Atlantic about how Gallant was clearly referring to Hamas. [Two days after October 7th, Gallant referred to a fight against human animals, and a day later he said that Hamas, ‘the ISIS of Gaza,’ are human animals. In the October 9th remarks, he also called for a “complete siege,” including cutting off food and aid.]

There were President Isaac Herzog’s comments about how people in Gaza were responsible for October 7th. (PS by editor, actually the celebration of the massacres were in public openly and polls later showed most Arab Palestinians approve of it). Herzog was answering a very specific question, but, if you looked at his entire speech, he was saying, “We will scrupulously follow the laws and customs of war and try to minimize civilian casualties.” [Herzog has claimed that his quote was taken out of context because in the same press conference he rejected the idea of harming innocent civilians. He did however say that “it’s an entire nation out there that is responsible.”] In every genocide accusation, they all use the shortened edited comments in order to try and prove genocidal intent.

Holocaust historians:

Holocaust historian Norman J. W. Goda wrote a long essay titled “The Genocide Libel,” in which he points out that the "genocide" accusation about Gaza “is political, designed not so much to describe a crime, but to place Israel, its military, its citizens, and its supporters as outside the realm of decency and human values.”

Later, he wrote another piece, with the historian Jeffrey Herf, about “why it’s wrong to call Israel’s war in Gaza a ‘genocide.’ ” Genocide is defined by the Genocide Convention of 1948 as the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.”

Rejected by Genocide Experts: AJC’s Rebuttal.

AJC summarized why the events in Gaza are not "genocide":

1. “Genocide” refers to the physical destruction of an entire group in whole or in part that has been targeted on the basis of its identity. This is not Israel’s objective in Gaza.

2. Israel’s war is against Hamas.

Is Genocide Happening in Gaza? No. Israel is responding to a genocidal attack by Hamas.

3. Israel’s actions reflect its desire to spare Palestinian civilians from harm, not to deliberately harm them.

4. Hamas’ actions are designed to cause harm to Palestinian civilians and blame Israel.

5. The “facts” of the genocide charge don’t add up.

The Truth Behind the Propaganda: A Counter-Narrative.

Former British Army officer, Andrew Fox, wrote a piece:

"The only thing being genocided in Gaza is truth itself. We are living through the largest propaganda assault in modern history."

He points out that the ongoing situation in Gaza is not just a military conflict, but the focal point of a massive global propaganda campaign designed to delegitimize Israel and spread antisemitism. He describes this as "Israel Derangement Syndrome," a pathology that has taken hold across the West, where Israel is unfairly demonized and subjected to a double standard.

The Distortion of Genocide: A Weapon Against Jewish Sovereignty.

Even some traditionally critical voices are pushing back. Amnesty International’s own Israel branch rejected the genocide conclusion of its parent organization, calling it predetermined and biased. Yad Vashem, the world’s preeminent Holocaust memorial, condemned the accusation as a grotesque abuse of Holocaust memory.

As Bernard-Henri Lévy wrote, there is no genocide in Gaza. What exists is a tragic war, initiated by a terror group that hides behind its own civilians. The accusation of genocide, he says, is not a judgment. It’s an ideological verdict without evidence.

The Danger of Equating Genocide With Gaza.

Let’s be clear: civilians are dying in Gaza.

That is tragic. But tragedy is not genocide. The difference lies in intent, context, and fact. Hamas wants genocide. Israel does not. That distinction defines the moral landscape of this war.

The genocide accusation is not a defense of Palestinian lives. It’s a weapon against Jewish sovereignty. And the world should recognize it for what it is—a lie.
