In a revelation that completely dismantles anti-Israel propaganda, a senior Hamas official has admitted that over 2 million people remain in the Gaza Strip—directly contradicting the baseless claims that Israel is committing genocide. If Israel’s military campaign were indeed a genocide, it would be the most incompetent and least effective attempt in history.
During an interview with anti-Israel propagandist Jackson Hinkle, Hamas official and former Gaza Minister of Health Basem Naim inadvertently confirmed what Israel has asserted all along: the notion of an Israeli-orchestrated genocide is pure fiction. While Hinkle cited President Donald Trump’s estimate that 1.7 million people remain in Gaza, Naim corrected him, stating that the actual number is over 2.3 million—showing that the vast majority of Gaza’s population remains intact despite the ongoing war.
“I have no idea about [Trump’s] intentions to mention this number. But officially, there are 2.3 million-plus Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” Naim admitted.
Further proving Israel’s defensive stance, Naim disclosed that approximately 200,000 Palestinians voluntarily left Gaza for security reasons, education, or professional endeavors, both before and after the war began.
By Naim’s own admission, the majority of Gaza’s residents remain unharmed, exposing the so-called genocide as a false narrative pushed by anti-Israel activists. Genocide, by definition, involves the systematic extermination of a people—yet Hamas’s own numbers show that Israel has specifically targeted terrorists while avoiding mass civilian casualties, even as Hamas uses civilians as human shields.
Despite these undeniable facts, anti-Israel extremists like Hinkle continue to peddle blatant lies. Hinkle, who has repeatedly spread pro-Hamas propaganda, openly praised Iran’s missile attacks on Israel and glorified Hamas’s reign of terror. Following the October 7 massacre—where Hamas terrorists butchered approximately 1,200 innocent Israeli men, women, and children and kidnapped 250 hostages—Hinkle celebrated Hamas’s actions as “resistance.” His pro-terrorist rhetoric further cements his role as a key player in the campaign to vilify Israel.
Meanwhile, Naim brazenly reiterated Hamas’s ultimate goal: the total destruction of Israel. He claimed that Hamas’s armed resistance is merely a tool to achieve its broader objective—replacing Israel with a Palestinian state. Unsurprisingly, he justified the October 7 atrocities, refusing to acknowledge Hamas’s role in the barbaric and unprovoked slaughter of innocent Israelis.
Yet...
“If Israel’s military campaign were indeed a genocide, it would be the most incompetent and least effective attempt in history.”
In Rwanda it as done with Machetes, and quite effective. Israel has somewhat greater capability for mass killings, should they choose to use it. The genocide claim simply DISCREDITS everyone who uses it.
The only credible genocide talk in the Middle East comes from HAMAS itself, as that is their plan for the Jews in Israel, should they ever have the capability...and they have done nothing to hide that objective.
I will argue that the actual population both before and presently is unknown.
Jackson Hinkle is Hamas and must be killed. Basem Naim must be sought out and killed. Hamas must be totally eradicated.
Of the estimated million + Gaza population, tens of thousdands of Hamas must be killed. Total extermination is the only way to prevent a new group from rising up and taking hostages again
“If Israel’s military campaign were indeed a genocide...”
The thing would have been over ages ago
I understand Hamas lies and propaganda...that in and of itself is a weapon of war. The problem I have is all the media outlets that have carried Hamas’ water by blindly reporting what Hamas says with no independent verification...you know, journalism.
I’m waiting for NPR to use some of their public-radio support dollars for an in-depth story about Hamas jihadists raping Israeli women, torturing and starving Israeli men, and strangling abducted toddlers so the college protestors can get a more intimate knowledge of what they’ve been supporting.
When I hear this story I say, well why the Hell not?
