“It’s a genocide, literally a genocide, not a massacre,” she told Britain’s GB News. She threw out several numbers of people dead, including 10 journalists at the time, which the station noted could not be verified.
In her posts, she has not provided any explanation for the commencement of the airstrikes on Gaza – namely, the October 7 massacre….
