NGO Atrocity Inversion: False Accusations of Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing to Distract from Hamas Massacre. October 23, 2023 NGO-Monitor



Vatican denies Pope Francis used the word 'genocide' to describe events in Gaza after he met with Palestinians at his residence. By Gemma Parry. 22 Nov 2023 DailyMail



Supporters of genocidal Hamas accuse Israel of genocide. The libel that Israel is committing a non-existent genocide or ethnic cleansing is a cruel irony.

Farley Weiss and Leonard Grunstein are authors of the new book Because It’s Just and Right: The Untold Back-Story of the U.S. Recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel and Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

(Jan. 2, 2024 / JNS) Hamas has made clear in its words and actions that it is committed to the genocide of the Jewish people, whether they live in Israel or not.

The crime of genocide is defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide approved by U.N. General Assembly Resolution 260 A (III) of Dec. 9, 1948 and entered into force on Jan. 12, 1951. The crime of genocide requires the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. Hamas’ words and deeds clearly meet this requirement.

Thus, falsely accusing Israel of genocide in its current defensive war against Hamas is a particularly cruel and odious blood libel. After all, the crime of genocide was only recognized as a result of the Holocaust. The Nazis called their genocide the “final solution.” The hideous pro-Hamas chant there is “one solution, intifada revolution,” channels this horrific ambition.

Everyone, including the slanderers themselves, knows that Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza. Moreover, as the White House National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, Adm. John Kirby, noted, “I heard this word ‘genocide’ tossed around. Hamas actually does have genocidal intentions against the people of Israel. They’d like to see it wiped off the map. They’ve said so on purpose. That’s what’s at stake here”

Israel is not committing “ethnic cleansing” either. There is no precise legal definition of ethnic cleansing under international law, but it was used to describe atrocities committed during the wars that followed the dissolution of Yugoslavia. The U.N.’s Office on Genocide Prevention and the Responsibility to Protect describes ethnic cleansing as “a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent or terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.” Employing the term “ethnic cleansing” against Israel rather than Hamas is preposterous incitement.

Letters / On “A Textbook Case of Genocide”... Oct 30, 2023. For more than three weeks, Israel has waged a ferocious war against Hamas in response to the horrific terrorist attack the group conducted in southern Israel on October 7th, it is not accurate to say, as Raz Segal does, that Israel’s “assault on Gaza” is “a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes.” Since Segal’s piece was published on October 13th, this claim has become common on the activist left, and has been voiced by Jewish groups like IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace... we must avoid making unsubstantiated charges of genocide.

[Prof.] Dov Waxman @DovWaxman: Let me briefly respond to the "core argument" which rests on Israel’s intentions (I didn't do that in my published letter to Jewish Currents on the advice of one of the editors who wanted me to stick with the facts). The question of intent is key because the crime of genocide as specified in international law requires a deliberate “intent to destroy” another people, in whole or in part. It’s very difficult to determine intent, but I don’t believe that Israel’s intent is to commit genocide. Yes, some of the rhetoric of Israeli officials could be read as potentially genocidal. But that doesn't prove that this is actually the real intention driving Israel’s military actions. Rather, Israel’s military actions seem to reflect the stated intent of Israel’s government which is to destroy Hamas’s military and topple its government in Gaza. If Israel’s intention was to kill most civilians in Gaza, then why would it call on them to evacuate northern Gaza where it is focusing most of its attacks? Why would it risk the lives of Israeli soldiers by sending them into northern Gaza when it could just continue its aerial bombardment? Why did it delay and then downsize its invasion of Gaza, under American pressure? And why would the Biden administration and other Western governments give Israel a green light to commit genocide? The genocide accusation doesn’t provide the most plausible explanation for Israel’s actions or those of its allies... As an expert on Israel and someone who closely follows its internal debates, it’s clear to me that there is a broad domestic consensus – for very understandable reasons – that Hamas must be defeated and removed from power. Except for perhaps a few fringe figures on the far-right, there is zero support for genocide. The Israeli public would oppose it, Israel’s allies would prevent it. Israel’s government can’t even decide on what it wants to do in Gaza after Israel defeats Hamas. Nov 2, 2023. X

Unrwa, Hamas and the ‘Genocide’ Smear Against Israel. South Africa’s case at the ICJ is built on reports from groups with links to terrorist organizations. By Naftali Balanson. Jan. 29, 2024.

Twelve employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, including seven primary- or secondary-school teachers, had links to Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel, the Journal reported Monday, citing intelligence that Israel supplied to U.S. officials. Unrwa, which deals exclusively with Palestinians, also has a connection with last week’s proceedings at the International Court of Justice. Thirteen footnotes in South Africa’s petition cite Unrwa in support of its claim that the Jewish state is waging genocide against the Palestinians.

This isn’t justice but a dangerous aberration of the concept. South Africa is doing Hamas’s bidding, and the case is about more than false claims of genocide. In a war of narratives, the court, which refused to dismiss the petition, is essentially adopting a narrative that rejects Israel’s right to defend itself and to exist. WSJ



Holocaust Inversion and the Meaning of Genocide. By Solomon D. Stevens. February 7, 2024.

Words sometimes lose their meaning over time.

This happened to the word “disinterested.” It originally meant “to be objective, not influenced by personal interest,” as in the sentence: The judge rendered a disinterested opinion. But today most people use the word to mean “uninterested,” or just not interested in something. I still cringe when I hear the word used this way, but I know that we all need to adapt to change. After all, what does it matter if this word loses its meaning?

But this is not always the case. Sometimes there is a concerted effort to delegitimize a word for political reasons, and there can be dangerous consequences when this happens. Today, we see this happening with how the word “genocide” is being used.

To understand the true meaning of genocide, we need to analyze Hitler’s attempt to exterminate the Jews. He sought to eliminate us because he believed that we were poisoning the purity of German blood. The problem with Jews was not that we were enemies of Germany. The problem was only that we were alive. To protect the purity of German blood, all Jews needed to die, regardless of how loyal they were to the Reich. The term genocide was created to identify this kind of slaughter, when there is a systematic program to eliminate the existence of an entire people... Solomon D. Stevens has a Ph.D. from Boston College and has published multiple books. JewishExponent

In the propaganda war, Hamas is winning. No total victory for either side - opinion. By Alan Shatter. February 15, 2024. Neither Hamas, nor Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist leaders, nor their Iranian sponsors really care how many Palestinians are killed in Gaza. For strategic military reasons, they may momentarily regret their terrorist militants’ deaths. But they perceive the dead as beneficially sacrificed to achieve their main objectives – to demonize Israel and make it an international pariah and gain support for accomplishing their ultimate goals: Israel’s total destruction and the murder of the largest possible number of Israelis and Jews.

In their world, Palestinian deaths are celebrated as deceased martyrs, and exploited and denounced to depict Israel as the evil aggressor intent on Palestinian genocide. The fact that both Palestinian groups are death cults that value death over life is something too many in the West have difficulty understanding. Many also forget or choose to ignore, that Hamas initiated the current conflict on October 7 and has promised to repeat that day’s atrocities....

U.S. Rejects ‘Unfounded’ Genocide Claim in UN Report Targeting Israel. March 29, 2024.

Washington on March 27 dismissed a new United Nations (UN) report that accuses Israel of genocide. “Allegations of genocide are unfounded,” said State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller about the report, authored by UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese. Miller also stated that the Biden administration has “opposed the mandate of this special rapporteur,” noting “a history of antisemitic comments that she has made.” He added that she “appeared to justify the attacks of October 7th.” In her report, Albanese called for an arms embargo against Israel, a UN General Assembly plan to punish Israel for provoking the war Hamas launched, and an “international protective presence to constrain the violence” against Palestinians.

Expert Analysis. “It’s time to ask why the United States is still a member of a body that promotes antisemitism. Engagement in the UN Human Rights Council has not proved an effective strategy for reform.” — Richard Goldberg, FDD Senior Advisor

“Albanese’s false accusation that Israel is committing genocide is based on absurd and incompetent mischaracterizations of both the facts and the law. Albanese’s blatant anti-Israel bias, both prior to her current role and in her performance of it, means that her appointment was, and her service is, contrary to UN ethics rules. The appropriate remedy is to terminate Albanese’s appointment.” — Orde Kittrie, FDD Senior Fellow.

“Albanese has made a career of erasing Israel’s legitimate security concerns and arguing that Israel’s policy vis-à-vis the Palestinians can only be guided by hatred and malice. She fits well in a UN system irredeemably biased against the Jewish state.” — David May, FDD Research Manager and Senior Research Analyst.

Opinion: The antisemitic lie at the heart of too many campus protests. Opinion by Frida Ghitis. May 7, 2024.

Editor’s Note: Frida Ghitis, a former CNN producer and correspondent, is a world affairs columnist. She is a weekly opinion contributor to CNN, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post and a senior columnist for World Politics Review. The views expressed in this commentary are her own. View more opinion on CNN.

[...] The claim, the chants, the smearing of President Joe Biden as “Genocide Joe” (to former President Donald Trump’s delight) for his support for Israel are part of an astonishingly successful campaign to paint Israel’s defensive war against Hamas as an act of genocide.

The charge is not just absurd, it’s outrageous. Yet incredibly, it’s a smear that has gained traction.

Yes, Israel has killed thousands of Palestinians following the Hamas attacks of October 7. The suffering of the population in Gaza is heartbreaking, horrific. And Israel may not have done everything it could to minimize the civilian death toll. But the leap to brand its military campaign as a genocide — the depth of humanity’s depravity — is unconscionable.

Many people see, as I do, a direct connection in the genocide accusations to a centuries’ old calumny that has bedeviled the Jewish people, used since the Middle Ages to taunt them and even to justify massacring and exiling them. It’s called the blood libel, and it has long helped fuel the apparently undying fires of antisemitism.

The original blood libel claimed that Jews murdered Christians, particularly children, so they could use their blood in rituals. It may sound laughable, ridiculous, but across hundreds of years many have believed it. Some still do. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer confronted a Hamas official on air in 2014 about his assertion that Jews use Christian blood in the matzo they eat at Passover.

Over the centuries, this defamation gave rise to other well-worn antisemitic tropes — that Jews are vampires, blood-suckers and organ-harvesters. Images of Jews and Stars of David dripping blood have cropped up repeatedly since October 7.

Indeed, too many today are willing to assume the worst possible motives for the actions of Jews — or in this case, the Jewish state — making the historical blood libel the heir to an ever-evolving series of modern slanders culminating in genocide.

Genocide is a term that became enshrined in international law after Nazi Germany sought to annihilate every Jew in Europe, killing 6 million, including about 1.5 million children. It is something completely different from what is happening in Gaza.

The UN’s Genocide Convention defines genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.” The term was coined by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish jurist who in the 1930s began to push for an international law barring such atrocities as Jews in Eastern Europe endured brutal pogroms. He escaped to the US and later helped prepare the Nuremberg trials against the Nazis who, among the millions they had killed, had murdered his family who remained behind in Europe.

Claims that Israel has been committing a genocide of Palestinians date to long before October 7. Yet the population of Gaza was estimated to be less than 400,000 when Israel captured the territory from Egypt in a war against multiple Arab countries in 1967. It’s now estimated at just over 2 million. Population growth of almost 600% would make it the most inept genocide in the history of the world.

What about now?

Those repeating the word genocide over and over, turning it into a mantra that penetrates the public consciousness, smearing Israel and anyone who supports it, ignore the facts of this war.

This is not an unprovoked war, like Russia’s against Ukraine. It’s not a civil war between rival militias, like the one raging in Sudan — which, by the way, is being ignored by almost everyone, even though the UN describes it as one of the “worst humanitarian crises in recent memory,” where a famine could kill 500,000 people.

No, Israel was attacked. On October 7, Hamas launched a gruesome assault on Israeli civilians, killing some 1,200 — including many women and children — and dragging hundreds of them as hostages into Gaza. Today dozens — including many women and children — remain in captivity.

Those who keep saying that Israel’s response is an act of revenge rather than the strategic, defensive war that most Israelis view as a fight for national survival against a determined enemy backed by a powerful country are deliberately distorting reality. In doing so, they are perversely evoking the same false blood lust and grotesqueness embedded in the blood libel archetype.

Hamas’ massacre, its wide-ranging sexual violence, its burning of entire families in their homes, its vow to do it again — these and other serious threats that the group poses to Israelis get ignored in the characterizations of the Israel Defense Forces as pursuing only vengeance by killing Gazan civilians.

Indeed, Hamas’ actions, which precipitated this war, don’t seem to exist in the minds of ostensibly humanitarian-minded protesters. Nor even the fate of the hostages, still captive in Hamas tunnels.... CNN

Want the TRUTH About Gaza? NO GENOCIDE! Israel365. Dec 19, 2024 TouTube



IDF ‘most moral army in the world’. Gisborne Herald. 16 Jan, 2024.

by Patrick Cooper.

Does the Israeli Defence Force deliberately rape, torture and kill Palestinian civilians, as Hamas terrorists did to innocent Israelis on October 7, condemning themselves as they joyfully recorded these atrocities? Even the Nazis attempted to conceal evidence of the Holocaust when they realised they were going to lose the war. No, the IDF goes to great lengths to avoid non-combatant casualties.

The UN claims that in all conflicts since World War 2, the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths on average has been nine to one. The American and British armies have worked hard to bring it down to three to one, as was the case in Iraq. In the Gaza war, the IDF believes it has killed 9500 Hamas terrorists and the Palestinian Health Authority claims that there have been 22,500 Palestinian deaths, not distinguishing between combatants and civilians. This gives us a ratio of 130 to 95 or much less than two to one civilian-to-combatant deaths — surely not an indication of genocide.

British Colonel Richard Kemp has called the IDF “the most moral army in the world”. Before the Israeli offensive began, the IDF dropped

1.5 million leaflets on northern Gaza advising the population there to move south for their own safety; 900,000 Gazans complied. When the focus moved to attacking Hamas in the south, maps of safe havens were dropped or emailed to the Palestinian population beforehand. The occupants of buildings that were going to be attacked were messaged, emailed or telephoned in advance. The Israelis also used the “knock on roof” technique whereby non-explosive or low-yield devices are dropped on roofs of buildings that are going to be bombed.

The Israeli lawyers might point out that numerous Hamas terrorists and Palestinian civilians have received life-saving treatment in Israeli hospitals during the conflict. Also, during the period between 1967 and 2005 when Israel took over military control of Gaza, the population rose from 340,000 to 1.4 million. Hardly evidence of genocide.

Some statistics for South Africa: 40 percent of the population are unemployed, 60 percent live under the poverty line and 32 million people receive an income from the state. Murders went up 14 percent between July and September as compared with the same period in 2021 when 6163 people were killed — including almost 1000 women. Rape was up 11 percent with 10,000 cases opened last year. Kidnappings rose to more than 4000. Carjackings were up 24 percent to more than 6000. Between April and September, 550 children were killed.

Why there is no genocide in Gaza being committed by Israel. Posted by Family First Party on May 21, 2024.

“The ratio of civilian to military casualties is the lowest in any conflict that I’m aware of, anywhere in the world.” – Colonel Richard Kemp

The conflict in Gaza has ignited global debates, with many quick to condemn Israel’s military actions as “genocidal”.

However, a closer examination of the facts and context reveals this to be a lie.

Former British army commander Colonel Richard Kemp’s speech last night at the North Shore Synagogue, organized by the Australian Jewish Association, offers a comprehensive insight into why Israel’s actions in Gaza are a justified response to terrorism and not an act of genocide as leftists and Muslim leaders like to portray.

Israel is actually fighting a war on behalf of all civilised people because if Hamas succeeds, they won’t stop with destroying the Jews.

Urban warfare inevitably and regrettably involves civilian casualties, Kemp said.

Every loss of civilian life is a tragedy yet Hamas are not just using them as human shields.

“I would describe them more accurately as human sacrifices,” Kemp said.

But despite the complexities, Israel has shown remarkable restraint and precision. Colonel Kemp said that “the ratio of civilian to military casualties is the lowest in any conflict that I’m aware of, anywhere in the world.”

This ratio stands at 0.8 civilians for every combatant killed, he said.

In contrast, similar conflicts such as the American and British operations in Afghanistan and Iraq had ratios of 5:1 and 3:1, respectively.

The UN reports an average of 9:1 for urban conflicts since World War II.

Yet the media does not report this and worse, has created a narrative that the ratio is unacceptable and that Israel must cease its operations to destroy Hamas.

Colonel Kemp said Israel had gone to great lengths to minimize civilian harm. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) distributed millions of leaflets, made countless phone calls, and sent text messages to warn civilians to evacuate combat zones.

This level of effort to protect non-combatants is unprecedented and demonstrates a commitment to avoiding unnecessary civilian deaths.

Gaza presents an extraordinarily complex battlefield. According to Kemp, “The Israelis are fighting in the most complex battlefield that any army has ever had to fight in.” Hamas has spent decades preparing Gaza for conflict, with extensive tunnels, booby traps, and fortified positions. These conditions complicate military operations and heighten the risk of civilian casualties, yet the IDF continues to prioritize precision strikes and intelligence-driven operations.

One of the most insidious tactics used by Hamas involves the storage of arms in civilian houses. Colonel Kemp observed, “Almost every house in some parts of Gaza have a stash of weapons. They have explosives, they have grenades, they have rocket launchers, they have machine guns.”

This tactic allows terrorists to walk around unarmed, blending in with the civilian population, and making it extraordinarily difficult for IDF soldiers to identify them. Kemp explained, “Very few terrorists ever wear uniforms...they never carry weapons.”

This strategy forces the IDF to destroy houses suspected of storing weapons, further complicating the conflict and increasing the risk of civilian casualties.

Accusations of genocide against Israel are not only unfounded but also deeply offensive given the historical context.

As Kemp poignantly noted, “That accusation of genocide is nothing short of an obscenity. It accuses a nation built partially on the survivors of a genocide and a nation that is fighting to defend its own population against genocide.”

Hamas, recognised as a terrorist organisation by many countries, explicitly calls for the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews worldwide.

Its charter and the actions of its militants on October 7th and 8th, as described by Kemp, reveal a genocidal intent. Israel’s military response is a necessary measure to ensure its survival against an adversary that seeks its annihilation.

Despite the vocal anti-Israel protests, there is significant support for Israel’s right to defend itself.

Kemp emphasized that “the Arab world supports Israel. Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia...they want Israel to defeat Hamas.”

This support, although sometimes subtle, underscores a regional desire for stability and a common stance against extremist ideologies being pushed largely by Iran.

Israel’s actions in Gaza are not about genocide but about survival and self-defence in the face of relentless terrorism.

The civilian casualty rate, efforts to minimise harm, the complex nature of urban warfare, and the deceptive tactics of Hamas all illustrate a commitment to ethical conduct in combat.

The world must recognise the truth of the situation: Israel is defending its people and its right to exist, not committing genocide.

Colonel Richard Kemp's extensive military experience, including commanding British forces in Afghanistan, along with his long-standing support and advisory roles with Israeli defence strategies and connections with key Israeli political and military leaders, make him a highly qualified commentator on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza. The vile allegations made by Hamas and its useful idiots bear no relation to the facts on the ground. By Jake Wallis Simons. 22 June 2024. Telegraph

Jake Wallis Simons @JakeWSimons After the atrocities of last October, Israel had a right to defend itself. So much we may concede. But the killing rage it visited upon the innocents of Gaza was indefensible. It has bombed the Al-Ahli hospital, killed 37,000 people, 70 per cent of whom were women and children, and set dogs on Gazan detainees. It has starved Gaza, a charge for which Benjamin Netanyahu may face an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court. So runs the folk story of Jewish genocide. It has been related by international bodies, politicians and the broadcast media, which pumps pictures of civilian suffering – and only civilian suffering – into our homes. The problem is that it is untrue. Every aspect has been either disproven or cast into irretrievable doubt… My @Telegraph .. Jun 23, 2024 X

There are only 15 million Jews out of 8 billion people. There is precisely one majority Jewish state with just over 9 million people, of whom 7 million are Jewish and 2 million are Arab (Christian, Muslim, and Druze). In the mid-1950s, Arab lands expelled 900.000 Jews and confiscated their lands and goods. Those Jews — definitely not European — went to Israel. Arab lands remain virtually free of Jews. Ethnic cleansing where?

Every people has the right to self-determination. For the Jewish people, that right is called Zionism. To attempt to erase that right is simply antisemitic. Yes, anti-Zionism is antisemitism.

Why Israel as the Jewish state? Why the need?

The rest of the world has a terrible record with regard to Jews. Throughout history, in one country after another, Jews have been fine. Until they are expelled or worse. Israel changed that equation.

The Jewish people, Judaism, and Israel are intertwined through history, holidays, and culture. Israel is the only country where all that fully comes to life. Meanwhile, there are 50 Muslim countries for two billion Muslims and around 160 Christian countries for 2.3 billion Christians.

It would have been easier to remain silent — I can imagine the arguments coming my way next week. Instead, please learn about the Jewish people and Israel. I recommend Israel: A Simple Guide…, along with Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew. Livemorevine

WJC Rejects UN Special Rapporteur Report Accusing Israel of Genocide.

31 Oct 2024. The World Jewish Congress, on Wednesday, strongly rejected two anti-Israel reports presented to the United Nations by Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur (SR) on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory, and by Navi Pillay, Chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry (CoI) on the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Both documents, from the SR and the CoI, demonstrate a fundamental prejudice against Israel, providing a distorted narrative that ignores Hamas's terrorism while demonizing Israel's legitimate right to self-defense.

Anti-Israel Bias Embedded Within: Below are some of the most serious allegations in SR Albanese's report to the UN Third Committee, which presents a distorted narrative that blatantly disregards Hamas's terrorism while making extreme accusations against Israel's actions and its fundamental right to defend its citizens:

1. Genocide Accusation: The report falsely asserts that Israel's actions constitute genocide aimed at systematically erasing the Palestinian population in Gaza and the West Bank. It claims these actions are intentional, state-organized, and aligned with the goal of territorial expansion.

2. Humanitarian Crisis Allegations: The report alleges that Israel’s policies deliberately worsen living conditions in Gaza, leading to a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, with references to alleged targeted attacks on healthcare, education, and food distribution systems.

3. Ethnic Cleansing and Forced Displacement Allegations: Israeli policies are framed as “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians through forced displacement, restricted humanitarian aid, and military control over large swathes of Gaza.

4. International Law Violation Allegations: The report suggests that Israel's actions contravene multiple international laws, including the Geneva Conventions and the Genocide Convention, and calls for Israel’s alleged war crimes to be addressed through international legal mechanisms.

Pilay, separately, presented the independent Commission of Inquiry's (COI) report, which accuses Israel of widespread human rights violations in Gaza and the West Bank. The report, which was previously presented to the United Nations Human Rights Council, has faced criticism due to the biases of certain Commission members, including their history of antisemitic remarks. Additionally, the COI on Israel is the only one with a permanent mandate, raising questions about the objectivity and fairness of the Commission’s investigations and conclusions.

The following are several significant allegations and calls for actions made by the Commission of Inquiry. The report presents a distorted view that, again, overlooks Hamas's terrorism while levying serious accusations against Israel's measures to protect its citizens:

1. Unlawful Occupation: The report accuses Israel of maintaining an unlawful occupation that must end as rapidly as possible. It quotes the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which determined in a highly problematic non-binding advisory opinion that Israel's prolonged occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza violates international law, asserting that Israel must cease its presence, halt all new settlement activities, and evacuate existing settlements.

2. Settlement Activities: The Commission asserts that Israel must cease all settlement activities and dismantle existing settlements without delay. It interprets "immediately" to mean that Israel should take swift action to evacuate all Israelis living in the West Bank and allow displaced Palestinians to return to their properties.

3.Restitution and Reparations: Israel is required to make reparations for damages caused in the Palestinian Territories, which include returning land and cultural property seized since 1967. If restitution is not possible, it calls for compensation to be provided to those affected.

4. International Responsibility: The Commission argues that other states have a legal obligation not to recognize or support Israel's presence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and to avoid aiding or supporting the alleged occupation.

What WJC Has to Say: In a post on X, the World Jewish Congress issued the following statement:

The latest report by Francesca Albanese is a gross perversion of history, weaponizing Holocaust comparisons to demonize Israel while ignoring the terror of Hamas. This inflammatory rhetoric must be confronted.

@UN, it’s time to stop platforming antisemitism.

The World Jewish Congress demands that the United Nations holds Francesca Albanese accountable and stops permitting its platforms to be hijacked by individuals who exploit them to spread hate and undermine the UN’s mission of promoting peace and human rights.

The man who wasn't there: A fake witness to the Gaza War. Fact-checking Lee Mordechai’s false Genocide allegations against Israel. Op-ed. Yigal Carmon. Jan 5, 2025, 6:54 PM (GMT+2)

Dr. Aaron Lerner: The charge by Israel's enemies that it is committing a genocide against the Palestinian Arabs is false, malicious and a complete inversion of the truth. It relies on disinformation and invented legal standards to deny the Jewish state its right to self-defense following Hamas's genocidal attack on October 7, 2023.

Nevertheless, it is being promoted by certain (disloyal?) Israelis, whose words are used as an authoritative validation of the bogus claim. One such Israeli- who serves as a hero to those who delight in vilifying Israel- is Lee Mordechai, whose false "genocide" charges against Israel provide fuel for the delegitimization of the Jewish state.

The CAMERA website features an article by Yigal Carmon - a former Israeli intelligence officer, counterterrorism adviser, and founder of the Middle East Media Research Institute - debunking Mordechai's sanctimonious accusations.

A fake genocide meets a real one. January 10, 2025 | Jewish News Syndicate

The obsession with Jews and Israel diverts column inches and airtime away from humanitarian crises that are far more dire than Gaza and far more intractable. Ben Cohen. Senior Analyst and Rapid Response Director.

For more than a year, Jews inside and outside the State of Israel have been besieged by false claims of the “genocide” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The rhetoric of the pro-Hamas mob—“We don’t want no Zionists here,” “Go back to Poland” and so on—has been ugly enough to make Nazi Germany proud. The real-world impact—arson and gun attacks on synagogues and other Jewish institutions from Canada to Australia, a pogrom in Amsterdam, physical and sexual assaults on those wearing identifiably Jewish symbols, creeping discrimination against “Zionists” in the worlds of art and medicine and academia, and too many other such episodes to comprehensively list here—is all too reminiscent of Nazi thuggery.

There is no longer any doubt that Jewish communities are facing the worst upsurge of antisemitism since World War II. At the root of the current onslaught is what my JNS colleague Melanie Phillips calls “Palestinianism,” which, she argues, “seeks to write the Jews out of their country, their history and the world.” That explains the fixation with affixing the label “genocide” to Israel’s military response to the atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023, which were themselves an act of genocide, intentionally targeting Jews because they are Jews living in their historic homeland. Yet in public relations terms, we have to concede that this has been a blood libel with legs, embraced not just by the keffiyeh-clad automatons but by governments from Ireland to South Africa, as well as by the United Nations, whose secretary-general, António Guterres, opined last September to his eternal shame that he had “never seen such a level of death and destruction as we are seeing in Gaza in the last few months.”

It’s important to recognize that the trauma Jews have experienced since Oct. 7 has also impacted non-Jews. I don’t mean our immediate neighbors in Europe and North America who, apart from a courageous and vocal minority, have followed in the ignoble tradition of their forebears by looking the other way. I am referring to those minorities and stateless nations around the world whose fate at the hands of repressive regimes and their proxy militias has been drowned out by the noise of the pro-Hamas mob and its enablers. Silence and indifference have greeted the Turkish regime’s bloodthirsty pledge to “eliminate” the Kurdish-led, U.S.-backed resistance forces in Syria in the wake of the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s vile dictatorship. The same U.N. Human Rights Council that lambastes Israel last month co-hosted a “human rights” conference with the same Chinese Communist Party that is waging a genocide in the northwestern region of Xinjiang.

It’s the ongoing slaughter in Sudan, however, that really exposes the moral rot at the heart of “Palestinianism.” For the first time since the term “genocide” was given legal standing with the 1948 adoption of the U.N. Genocide Convention, the world’s attention has been gripped by a fake genocide while a real one has been raging at the same time. Hamas propaganda preying on the minds of the stupid and the gullible in our own societies is largely to thank for this sordid outcome, which leaves an indelible stain on Western civilization.

Since the outbreak of Sudan’s latest civil war in 2023, the Biden administration has placed the issue at the bottom of its foreign-policy pile. But one of the last acts of outgoing Secretary of State Antony Blinken was to issue a Jan. 7 statement concluding that “members of the RSF and allied militias have committed genocide in Sudan.” Too little, too late, certainly, but not wholly useless.

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are an outgrowth of the feared Janjaweed paramilitaries that carried out a genocide in the western region of Darfur 20 years ago. The latest fighting followed the decision of RSF leader Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as “Hemedti,” to split with the military government that took power in a 2021 coup in Khartoum. As Blinken correctly pointed out, both the military regime and the RSF “bear responsibility for the violence and suffering in Sudan and lack the legitimacy to govern a future peaceful Sudan.” But the RSF and its allies have, to quote Blinken again, “systematically murdered men and boys, even infants, on an ethnic basis, and deliberately targeted women and girls from certain ethnic groups for rape and other forms of brutal sexual violence.”

The overall humanitarian cost is staggering. More than 11 million human beings have been internally displaced, and another 3.1 million have fled across Sudan’s borders—about 30% of the country’s population. Nearly 640,000 are suffering from one of the worst famines in Sudan’s history. More than 30 million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. The number of dead lies in the tens of thousands. The number of demonstrations, rallies and performative protests stands at zero.

Included in the raft of sanctions that accompanied Blinken’s announcement are seven companies based in the United Arab Emirates—a U.S. ally and partner in the broader Middle East peace process—that have helped the RSF purchase weapons and smuggle gold from Sudan’s lucrative mines through Dubai. The UAE operates an embassy and three consulates here in the United States, whose addresses are easily available with a quick online search. A demonstration outside one of these, under the slogan “UAE: Stop Funding Genocide in Sudan,” would be perfectly feasible and eminently laudable. But those organizations that might be in the position to organize one—like Black Lives Matter, a sentiment that clearly doesn’t apply to Black Lives in Africa when Arabs are doing the killing—are absent.

This brings me back to the point I made earlier about the impact of this present surge of antisemitism. I’ve never been a fan of the oft-made assertion that Jews are the canary in the coal mine and that what starts with them won’t end there, because it assumes a much greater degree of overlap between antisemitism and other forms of bigotry than is actually the case.

However, a more salient point is that the obsession with Jews and Israel diverts column inches and airtime away from those humanitarian crises that are far more dire than Gaza and far more intractable, given that the war in the Strip would be over as soon as Hamas releases the remaining hostages it kidnapped on Oct. 7 and lays down its weapons, as growing numbers of Palestinians—as distinct from their Western cheerleaders—are exhaustedly urging.

As long as the outside world continues to indulge the Palestinian strategy of being the only victims worth the name, we are abetting the genocides that don’t get talked about.

A Genocide Ignored in Sudan. Civilians killed by ‘the color of their skin,’ as the world vilifies Israel. By The Editorial Board. Jan. 13, 2025.

Genocide became a degraded term in 2024, as Israel’s critics used it to smear the Jewish state’s defensive military action against Hamas. But actual genocide has been under way for months in Sudan. Last week Secretary of State Antony Blinken officially recognized the carnage that has killed tens of thousands and left hundreds of thousands suffering at risk of famine.

Since the conflict began in April 2023, Mr. Blinken said, the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces have “systematically murdered men and boys—even infants—on an ethnic basis,” while they targeted women and girls on an ethnic basis for rape and “other forms of brutal sexual violence.” This is the definition of genocide—mass murder undertaken with the intent to destroy an ethnic group. College students, anyone up for a Sudan encampment?

Progressive activists mobilized against Israel on U.S. campuses within days of Hamas’s massacre in October 2023. Accusations of genocide shortly followed. So where are the protesters now? “Zero dopes have shown up at my home or office, or blocked a road to chant and protest over an actual genocide in Sudan,” Sen. John Fetterman (D., Pa.) says. “South Africa engaged the International Court of Justice over Gaza, but not for an actual genocide on their own continent? Why is that?”

Good question. Don’t black lives matter when they’re overseas? WSJ



Allegation: Israel Commits Genocide Related Content. Backgrounder.

ADL. Published: 10.25.2023. Updated: 02.13.2025. Israel. In the heightened rhetoric of the present day and especially in the aftermath of Israel’s war against Hamas following the October 7, 2023 attack, Israel is often accused of committing “genocide,” “acts of genocide” or of having “genocidal intent” against the Palestinians. Genocide is a very specific crime with legal elements requiring intent and action that are difficult to meet, and in no way do Israeli policies and actions reach this legal threshold. Rather, the sensationalist use of the term genocide in relation to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not only inaccurate and misleading, but it unfairly serves to demonize the State of Israel and to diminish recognized acts of genocide.

The term genocide was first introduced by Polish-Jewish attorney Raphael Lemkin in 1944, with the construct of “genos” meaning race or tribe and "cide” meaning killing. Lemkin coined the term in response to the lack of existing terminology in international law to accurately describe, and consequently enable punishment of, the horrific offenses committed during the Holocaust, and earlier events, including the Armenian Genocide of 1915. The United Nations General Assembly recognized genocide as a crime under international law in 1946, and it was codified in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in 1948.

The definition of genocide under this convention reads:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

This is the same definition used in the Rome Statute for International Criminal Court.

While one may condemn particular Israeli policies or actions with regard to Palestinians, the fact remains that in no way has Israel engaged in any action with the intent to exterminate, in whole or in part, the Palestinian people.

In 2024, South Africa brough legal proceedings in an attempt to have Israel be held responsible for Genocide by the International Court of Justice. As of this writing, reports indicate that South Africa and its supporters failed to provide sufficient evidence to the court to support their claims. In fact, when seeking to join in support of South Africa’s case, the Irish government asked the court to “broaden” its interpretation of the definition of genocide according to the Convention in order to hold Israel responsible. Meaning, Ireland itself understood that Israel could not be found to be committing genocide under 76 years of legal precedent and interpretation of the Convention, and therefore requested that the definition of the crime be altered to prove the case against Israel.

Indeed, accusing Israel of genocide has the collateral effect of diminishing real acts of genocide – such as those that occurred in the Holocaust, against Armenians, in Rwanda, Bosnia or Sudan.

Furthermore, its deeply concerning that Israel is often one of the only countries accused by activist groups of engaging in genocide. This false claim singularly demonizes Israel by accusing it of committing a crime which has been suffered by the Jewish people - the people of Israel- and therefore some argue that this constitutes a perverse double standard.

Finally, claiming as some do, that there are many “types” of genocide, and Israel is, for example, committing “cultural” genocide, is equally problematic. Regardless of how the term is applied, the accusation is aimed at convincing the general-public that Israel is guilty of committing the most awful of human atrocities. Once levied, these charges tend to affect perception and confuse lay individuals, regardless of their falsity. ADL

The Genocide Libel.

(Suggested Citation: Goda, Norman JW. 2025. "The Genocide Libel: How the World Has Charged Israel with Genocide." ISCA Research Paper 2025-3. [2])

The Genocide Libel: How the World Has Charged Israel with Genocide by Norman JW Goda. February 2025.

This essay concerns the post-October 7 accusation of genocide against Israel. Genocide is the crime of crimes. States committing genocide are viewed as permanently illegitimate. By itself a genocide accusation is not antisemitic. During the Cold War, the charge was leveled dozens of times by government officials, legal scholars, and activists against France, Portugal, Nigeria, China, Cambodia, the US, and other states. Since the end of the Cold War, judicial proceedings for genocide have been carried out against officials from former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and elsewhere both in ad hoc tribunals and at the International Criminal Court.

Genocide accusations against Israel are different. First, Israel, unlike other states, has been charged with genocide throughout its existence. The genocide accusation is tied to charges of racism, colonialism, and other accusations leveled against Israel since the 1960s. Second, the speed and fury with which the accusations exploded after the Hamas massacres of October 7, 2023, are unusual in the annals of lawfare. And yet regarding Israel’s 2023 war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, there has been not only a rush to judgment but an effort to redefine genocide itself so that the constitutive elements of the crime itself are lowered.

The genocide libel also deploys a range of antisemitic tropes. One is the linkage of genocide to violent passages in the Hebrew Bible, a linkage which plays on the theme of Jewish chosenness at the expense of others’ existence and which even claims that God is genocidal. Another is the whitewashing of Hamas’s own genocidal intent in lieu of tropes concerning the outsized Jewish thirst for vengeance in the form of disproportionate response. A third is the coupling of the genocide charge with the deliberate killing of children, images of whom are ubiquitous on NGO, social media, and other platforms that charge Israel with genocide. A fourth is the attribution of special powers to the Israeli government by which it and its supporters have fooled western governments into believing that Israel’s actions are legitimate and that the history of the Israeli- Arab conflict is too complex for snap judgments.

A fifth, and this is what makes the genocide libel particularly dangerous, is the association of all Jews with the crime. Jews worldwide are all in on it, either as Zionist enablers, as dishonest back-room lobbyists, or as community leaders who, we are told, “weaponize” the charge of antisemitism to silence the truth-tellers. Other genocide charges over time have not targeted Hutus living in Belgium or Serbs living in Germany. But the genocide libel, fueled by everything from electoral campaigns to public demonstrations to social media, drives rage against Jews throughout the world.

In North America, Europe, and Australia, antisemitic incidents have been too numerous to count, ranging from physical threats against Jews in New York City, to a pre-planned pogrom in Amsterdam, to synagogue attacks stretching from Montreal to Melbourne. And as the Conseil represéntatif des institutions juives de France [CRIF] noted in a January 2025 report concerning the nearly 1,600 antisemitic acts in France the previous year, “The hammering of the false genocide accusation, and its corollary of accusing Israel’s supporters of being ‘pro-genocide,’ have helped to demonize the image of Jews in France and justify hostile . . . behavior towards them.” ISCA

Danon: UN accusation of genocide ‘without evidence’. Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon slammed the U.N.’s chief of humanitarian affairs for making baseless claims about the IDF’s war against Hamas. JNS Staff. (May 17, 2025 / JNS)

“To weaponize the word ‘genocide’ against Israel is not just distortion—it is the desecration and subversion of a term with unique force and weight,” the Israeli diplomat said.

Those who use the term seek to “demonize” their targets, Danon remarked.

On Thursday, Reuters reported that a new U.S.-backed humanitarian group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), is set to begin operations in the Gaza Strip by the end of May.

The group aims to provide aid through a plan endorsed by Israel and supported by private American firms.

Anti-Israel propagandist C.

On politically motivated Omar Bartov, for years the G word promoter

Pallyweid Reminder. Within weeks of Swords of Iron, in mid Nov 2023, CNN's radical C. Amanpour rushed / reached out to [unsurprisingly] Omer Bartov with hopes he would utter the G word. He basically concluded then that if Bibi only fires a few right wing conservatives all will be just fine. AKA politicized hack "genocide expert." 7.24.25 At EoZ



“I’m a Genocide Scholar”… And I’ve Been Prepping My NYT Genocide Case Against Israel for Years. Rachel O'Donoghue. HR, July 17, 2025

“I’m a genocide scholar,” proclaims the headline of Omer Bartov’s recent guest essay in The New York Times. And therefore, he assures us, “I know it when I see it.”

Except this isn’t the first time Bartov, a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, has thought he saw genocide, or something like it, in Israel’s actions toward the Palestinians. In fact, it’s not even the first time since last year.

Although Bartov opens the piece by saying that “a month after the Hamas-led terrorist attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023,” the situation “did not seem to me to rise to the crime of genocide,” a quick review of his public record suggests he had been laying the groundwork for this accusation long before the war in Gaza began.

July 2025 wasn’t some dramatic moral epiphany revealed to readers of The New York Times. Bartov had already publicly declared Israel’s actions a genocide back in December 2024 in an interview with fringe website Democracy Now! His NYT op-ed is simply a polished retread of that declaration.

In the NYT piece, Bartov writes:

“By May 2024, the Israel Defense Forces had ordered about one million Palestinians sheltering in Rafah […] to move to the beach area of the Mawasi, where there was little to no shelter. The army then proceeded to destroy much of Rafah, a feat mostly accomplished by August.”

He concludes that at this point, “it appeared no longer possible to deny” that Israeli operations matched what he calls statements “denoting genocidal intent.”

But Bartov’s definition of genocide has always been suspiciously elastic, at least when it comes to Israel. And his eagerness to draw Holocaust analogies long predates this war.

In 2019, Bartov signed an open letter in The New York Review of Books attacking the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum for criticizing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s use of the phrase “concentration camps” to describe U.S. immigration detention centers. The Museum had objected to invoking Holocaust-era language for partisan ends. Bartov disagreed, calling the Museum’s stance “fundamentally ahistorical” and claiming it undermined Holocaust memory and education.

In other words, Bartov has a habit of defending far-fetched analogies, so long as they point in the direction he favors.

This pattern continues in his commentary on Israel. In May 2021, during a short war triggered by a Hamas rocket barrage on Israeli civilians, Bartov wasn’t focused on terrorism, incitement, or Hamas’s genocidal charter. Instead, he urged American universities to “teach about Israeli state violence against Palestinians” and to feature “Palestinian scholars and activists” in conferences on genocide and mass violence. He has used the term “Nakba” (catastrophe in Arabic) to describe modern Israel’s founding in 1948, when it was attacked by a coalition of neighboring Arab armies.

When the New York Times Needs a (Jewish-Israeli) Genocide Scholar When The New York Times wants to amplify accusations of genocide against Israel, it doesn’t turn to fringe activists or anonymous social media accounts. It finds a Jewish Israeli professor willing to say it in their pages. Bonus points if he’s spent years blurring the definition of genocide and repurposing “Never Again” for unrelated political causes.

Let’s also be honest. Identity politics plays a role here. The Times knows that featuring a Jewish Israeli lends the accusation a veneer of credibility and “internal dissent.” It’s not subtle. It’s strategic.

But if we’re going to talk about genocidal intent, we have to look at the actual statements Bartov cites. HonestReporting board member Salo Aizenberg has done just that, and found Bartov’s examples either wildly out of context or plainly misrepresented. Phrases like “the enemy will pay a huge price” or “turning Hamas strongholds into rubble” are spun as genocidal, despite clearly referring to Hamas. Warnings for civilians to evacuate are presented as evidence of extermination. Even Netanyahu’s use of the biblical phrase “Amalek,” found on memorials at Yad Vashem and The Hague, is treated as uniquely sinister. Bartov’s case, in short, relies on selective quoting and distortion. (Full breakdown embedded below.)

And when the main Israeli leadership fails to meet even the loosest standard for genocidal intent, Bartov simply pivots to fringe figures with no operational control, like Smotrich or Nissim Vaturi. That move alone concedes how weak his central thesis really is.

The New York Times wants readers to see Bartov’s genocide declaration as a bold moral stand. But it isn’t. It’s the culmination of years of unfair and unfounded accusations against the Jewish state, now rebranded as expert opinion.

What else is new?

The Gaza genocide lie isn’t just wrong—it’s deadly. Gedalia Gillis, Times of Israel. Jun 24, 2025.

As I scrolled through some of the most popular pro-Palestinian Twitter profiles, seeing their ecstasy at images of residential neighborhoods in Tel Aviv being bombed, I realized the true danger and malicious intent behind the greatest blood libel of the 21st century: the so-called “Genocide in Gaza.” Accusing Israelis of committing genocide is clearly absurd to anyone honest enough to adhere to the actual definition of genocide and to confront the realities of the war in Gaza. Therefore, I will spare you the details—it’s a straightforward rebuttal. The most concerning aspect of this libel is not its factual incorrectness; the architects of this deception have a far more insidious goal. Labeling Israel as genocidal isn’t meant to end an actual genocide—they are fully aware that no genocide exists. Instead, the intent is to systematically dehumanize Israelis and delegitimize Zionism, the Jewish liberation and de-colonization movement, ensuring the world has no qualms about targeting Jews or Israeli Jews specifically.

Myths

Starving?

Expert group refutes claims of famine in Gaza. The Famine Review Committee found reports, including those put forward by the United Nations, that Israel is starving Gazans to be implausible. Mike Wagenheim.

(June 21, 2024 / JNS) For months, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification—a multi-partner initiative that includes the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization—has issued assessments of current and imminent famine in parts of Gaza. The IPC has done so, in part, using information from the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, which the U.S. Agency for International Development backs.

But claims, which have been widely reported in the international news media and which have been cited in cases in The Hague against the Jewish state, that rely on data from the IPC and from the warning systems are inaccurate, according to a recent analysis by the Famine Review Committee.

The committee, a panel of experts in nutrition and food security that is part of the IPC, recently released a June 4 analysis, which it published in May, that documents significant flaws in the IPC’s methodologies, assumptions, calculations and conclusions.

The Famine Review Committee doesn’t find the Famine Early Warning Systems Network’s “analysis plausible given the uncertainty and lack of convergence of the supporting evidence employed in the analysis,” per the report. “Therefore, the FRC is unable to make a determination as to whether or not famine thresholds have been passed during April.”JNS

Footage disproves repeating claims of Gaza starvation as war ramps up. WFP warns of starvation in Gaza as aid trucks stall at the border but reports highlight high food access to Gazans despite conflicting claims.

Lior Ben Ari|05.18.25.

The World Food Program (WFP) warned Sunday that families in Gaza are starving while food trucks pile up at the border, calling the situation “a race against time.” The organization urged the international community to take immediate action to restore aid flows into the Strip.

While these allegations dominate political speeches and media headlines, the reality in Gaza appears more complex. Though some markets in Gaza have been photographed empty, residents have also shared images and videos showing bustling food stalls, especially in Gaza City’s Al-Zawiya market. Despite war-related shortages and disruptions, food remains available in many areas, albeit at high prices.

(Food market in Gaza City. [5]). “Even during the worst times in northern Gaza, people could still buy things — it was just expensive,” said Jackie Peleg, director of Imshin, a project documenting life in Gaza. She monitors Gaza-based food-related businesses and shares current footage online that contradicts claims of widespread starvation.

“There are gaps. Some people can pay, some can’t. The poor go to soup kitchens, and many of those are privately run.” Peleg added that the narrative of starvation in Gaza long predates the war. “They’ve talked about starvation throughout the war, but I keep seeing other images,” she told Ynet. “Sometimes they relied almost entirely on UN flour sacks. But even when the crossings were open and supplies came in, people still claimed they were being starved. During the start of Ramadan, the crossings were closed, yet people celebrated.” “There’s less meat but there are still plenty of canned meat products, which people started throwing away after a while,” Peleg said. “When people returned to northern Gaza and found their homes gone, many moved into tents in Gaza City or onto the rubble. There’s real hardship, but it’s not uniform. Even people from destroyed areas can reach markets or distribution centers.”

Peleg said prices fluctuate based on border conditions: “Last week, when they thought the border crossings would reopen, prices dropped immediately—then rose again.” According to her, Hamas has been playing “a delicate game for years,” keeping the population very poor but not starving. “Even before the war, the terror group and those tied to it lived well.”

Israel has also challenged the starvation claims. The IDF’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) recently responded on X (formerly Twitter) to the latest UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) food security report, saying: “Even based on IPC’s own analysis, there is no famine in Gaza.” COGAT called IPC’s terminology—such as “facing famine”—misleading and based on future projections that have repeatedly failed since the war began. “The IPC keeps publishing alarming findings without releasing its data or analysis,” the statement read. “Its lack of transparency has been consistent. Its forecasts have repeatedly overstated the situation. The methodology for assessing Gaza’s food security is deeply flawed.” COGAT also criticized the IPC’s reliance on UN sources that, during the ceasefire, reflected only about one-third of the actual aid entering Gaza. “Israel has published detailed analyses of these failures and the IPC has never responded.” Witkoff said efforts are ongoing to resolve logistical barriers. “The question is: how do we get all those trucks into Gaza and how do we set up the aid stations?” he said. “It’s complicated and the conditions are dangerous. There are still unexploded shells everywhere. But we won’t let a humanitarian crisis occur under President Trump’s leadership.” YNet

UN retracts aid chief's claim that 14,000 Gazan babies will die in 48 hours without aid.

NBC makes false report on Gaza situation Photo: Screenshot of NBC site.

NBC News is facing intense backlash after continuing to circulate a discredited and inflammatory claim that “14,000 babies will die in the next 48 hours” if humanitarian aid is not delivered to Gaza. The quote, originally made by UNRWA representative Sam Rose Fletcher during a BBC interview, quickly went viral, sparking outrage and prompting mainstream outlets like NBC to amplify the statement without proper verification or context. [...] Critics accuse NBC and similar outlets of irresponsibly parroting Hamas propaganda aimed at portraying Israel as deliberately starving Palestinian children, a claim not supported by the facts. Public responses to NBC’s post have been scathing:

  • “Will we get an expose on why the UN humanitarian chief lied so egregiously?” – Ari Paul.
  • “The @UN, @NBCNews, and international media made up and instigated a blood libel against the Jewish people.” – Ron M.
  • “NBC wants so much to see starving children… so their dumb readers will think this is a child being starved to death by evil Jews.” – Chava P.
  • “Why is @nbcnews acting as Hamas’ mouthpiece parroting false claims without evidence?” – Michal Sabra.

UN Refusing aid

2023/2024

COGAT again slams UN for ‘stalling’ entry of aid to Gaza and ‘avoiding the facts’. 4 Jan 2024. The Defense Ministry body responsible for Palestinian civilian affairs again accuses the United Nations of not doing enough to process humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

“You can’t keep avoiding the facts: There is no collective punishment. 2 crossings are open. You said you can transfer 200 trucks a day in Kerem Shalom, yet you’re not scraping 100,” says COGAT in a post on X, responding to claims by Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of UNRWA, who says “the Palestinian people subjected to collective punishment with too little humanitarian aid allowed in.”

“Over the last 80 days, we’ve adjusted ourselves, all you’ve been doing is stalling,” COGAT adds.

Prior to Hamas’s shock assault on Israel on October 7 and Israel’s subsequent war with the Gaza terror group, around 500 trucks of humanitarian aid would enter Gaza on a daily basis, primarily through Israel’s Kerem Shalom crossing.

However, following the terror onslaught, Israel had permitted aid to enter Gaza only via Egypt’s Rafah Crossing after each individual truck is inspected. In a bid to facilitate an increase in the number of aid trucks that can enter Gaza each day, Israel recently also reopened Kerem Shalom Crossing for the transfer of aid.. TOI

We've been patient with your media circus, but your lies just keep coming:

There are no 10 thousand trucks waiting to go into Gaza. What there are, are hundreds of trucks' worth of aid the @UN hasn't picked up from the Gazan side over the last few days, after we gave you plenty of routes you can use to safely distribute the aid throughout the entire Gaza.

You are using a humanitarian difficulty and causing a worse one, one that isn't serving your "humanitarian principles". X

Media's Gaza "hunger" propaganda: viral images portraying a severely emaciated Palestinian boy as the “face of hunger in Gaza” - Boy suffers from multiple genetic disorders and pre-existing medical conditions

How Western Media Became a Mouthpiece for Gaza "Hunger" Propaganda. Viral images portraying a severely emaciated Palestinian boy as the “face of hunger in Gaza.” The boy, used as the centerpiece of a Hamas campaign, suffers from genetic disorders and muscle conditions, a fact largely ignored by most media outlets. Gila Isaacson. Jul 28, 2025. Heart-wrenching images of a severely emaciated Palestinian boy, spread by leading international media outlets as the “face of hunger in Gaza” and “proof” of widespread suffering due to the war, do not tell the full story. An investigation reveals that the boy, Mohammed Zakaria Ayoub al-Matouq, suffers from multiple genetic disorders and pre-existing medical conditions, a fact entirely overlooked by the vast majority of media coverage.

The chilling image of Mohammed, taken on July 21, 2025, in Gaza, went viral and was disseminated by outlets such as *The New York Times*, NBC News, *The Guardian*, and the BBC. The photos, captured by the Turkish government news agency Anadolu, showed Mohammed’s spine protruding from his small back as his mother held him in her arms.

  • The Guardian* captioned the image as “facing life-threatening malnutrition,” while the UK’s *Daily Express* described it as a “horrifying photo embodying the ‘storm of human suffering’ gripping Gaza.” The photographer, Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim al-Arini, told the BBC that Mohammed “represents the situation in Gaza.”

But the pro-Israel group HonestReporting was the first to identify a troubling gap in the reporting: The boy’s older brother, Jude, appeared in the background of the photo, looking in much better health. This led to further details that changed the entire picture.

In a surprising CNN report, Mohammed’s mother told the outlet that her son suffers from a “muscle disorder” requiring special nutrition and physiotherapy. She noted he was “happy” and “able to sit upright” when receiving these treatments. Furthermore, pro-Israel journalist David Collier cited a May 2025 medical report from Gaza stating that Mohammed suffers from “cerebral palsy, hypoxemia, and was born with a severe genetic disorder.” JFeed

Media accused of misusing Arab-Palestinian child’s Image in smear campaign

Israel Foreign Ministry Accuses Media of Misusing Palestinian Child’s Image in Smear Campaign. Notwithstanding Hamas' brutal October 7th assault, Israel wnet out of its way to seek help for a little Palestinian child, only to be repaid with hate and abuse. Welcome to 2025. Gila Isaacson. Jul 28, 2025.

The Israel Foreign Ministry (MFA) has sparked controversy with a July 28 X post accusing media outlets of exploiting a photo of Osama al-Raqab, a 5-year-old Palestinian boy with cystic fibrosis, to falsely portray Israel as responsible for his suffering. The post, which garnered significant attention, claims the child’s image was used in a “modern blood libel” to smear Israel, despite his medical evacuation to Italy on June 12, 2025, coordinated through Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit.

Osama al-Raqab, whose condition worsened during Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, was evacuated by Israel with his mother and brother via Ramon Airport for treatment in Italy, as confirmed by multiple sources, including the MFA and COGAT’s English X account.

Reports from May 2025, including by the Associated Press and CBC News, detailed his severe malnutrition and lack of access to meat, fish, and enzyme tablets critical for managing his cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder affecting digestion and breathing. These reports, predating his evacuation, highlighted Gaza’s blockade and war-related shortages, with his mother, Mona al-Raqab, noting his weight had dropped to 20 pounds.

The MFA’s post specifically criticizes an Italian newspaper, *Il Fatto Quotidiano*, for publishing a May 1, 2025, photo of Osama on its cover, allegedly implying Israel’s responsibility for his condition without mentioning his subsequent transfer. The post, echoed by users like @HenMazzig, @JewishWarrior13, and @LionsOfZion_ORG, labels this as propaganda, arguing the image was hijacked to misrepresent facts. The BBC also faced scrutiny for using a May 31, 2025, photo by Haitham Imad in Spanish and Portuguese reports on Gaza’s starvation crisis, without noting Osama’s cystic fibrosis or evacuation.

No official response from *Il Fatto Quotidiano* or the BBC has been reported as of now, but the debate continues to fuel polarized discussions. JFeed

Wiki?

The ridiculous background of pallyweid "gaza genocide[sic]" wikipedia page.

  • Anti-Israel lobby: organized, coordinated edits. 
  • Racist Francesca Albanese as the main source. (She pushed the G word already in 2014).
  • Then, recruited, some fascistic terror PFLP linked so called "human rights" groups, as "RS," Al Mezan etc.
  • The first edit based on Urban dictionary...
  • Sockpuppeting.

On Wiki, facts


Grok's reply on (Pallyweid's) Gaza so-called "genocide" page:


“ 1. Who were the editors [user names] advocating for the "Gaza (so-called) genocide" accusation on page in Wikipedia?



Based on analysis of the Wikipedia talk page discussions and edit history, several editors advocated for content that framed the events in Gaza as a genocide, including supporting the page title change from "Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza" to "Gaza genocide" (which occurred around May 3, 2024, or July 2024 per external reports), adding sources affirming genocide, and arguing for wikivoice (neutral Wikipedia voice) on the topic. Key usernames include:

  • Alexandraaaacs1989: Proposed stating consensus among genocide scholars in wikivoice for the lead sentence.
  • Aquillion: Supported consensus on genocide framing.
  • Bogazicili: Advocated for better sources supporting genocide claims.
  • Bluethricecreamman: Supported inclusion and wikivoice.
  • Cinaroot: Advocated for the accusation in discussions.
  • Coining: Expanded RfC (Request for Comment) on genocide consensus.
  • Darouet: Referenced B'Tselem's "Our Genocide" report.
  • David A: Supported wikivoice and inclusion.
  • Dualpendel: Advocated for genocide framing.
  • Greensminded24: Supported inclusion in templates and lead.
  • Larry Sanger: Critiqued NPOV but supported wikivoice in context.
  • Lumdeloo: Noted majority support for genocide consensus.
  • NadVolum: Supported inclusion with sources like UN reports.
  • Newimpartial: Advocated for expert opinion weighting toward genocide.
  • Originalcola: Supported in some contexts.
  • Raskolnikov.Rev: Advocated for the accusation.
  • Smallangryplanet: Supported wikivoice.
  • Super Goku V: Supported.
  • Tashmetu: Supported.
  • Twilsonb: Supported.
  • VidanaliK: Supported in lead and templates.
  • إيان: Supported.
  • Cdjp1: Supported.

External reports (e.g., from ADL, INSS, Jewish Journal) highlight a group of about 30 editors accused of coordinated pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel bias, including injecting genocide claims. Six were banned in January 2025 for disruptive editing: Selfstudier, Nableezy, Nishidani, Levivich, Iskandar323, Makeandtoss (pro-Palestinian camp). These editors were active in adding content supporting the genocide framing before bans.

2. Have any editors, advocating for the so-called "genocide", been accused of bias and/or coordinated editing? Which usernames were they, [elaborated] list as many as possible?

Yes, multiple accusations of bias and coordinated editing have been leveled against editors advocating for the genocide framing. Sources like ADL's 2025 report identified at least 30 editors circumventing policies to introduce anti-Israel bias, including genocide narratives. INSS and Jewish Journal reports describe coordinated efforts via Discord, tag-teaming, and hidden pages to entrench pro-Palestinian narratives. Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee banned eight editors in January 2025 for disruptive behavior in Israel-Palestine articles, with six from the pro-Palestinian side (accused of bias toward genocide claims). Accusations include selection bias in sources, original research, violating neutrality (WP:NPOV), and relitigating RfCs.

Elaborated list (from talk page, history, and external reports):

  • Selfstudier: Banned for disruptive editing; accused of coordinated pro-Palestinian bias, pushing genocide inclusion.
  • Nableezy: Banned; accused of tag-teaming to entrench anti-Israel narratives, including genocide.
  • Nishidani: Banned; alleged coordination to downplay Palestinian violence while amplifying genocide claims.
  • Levivich: Banned; accused of bias in source selection favoring genocide framing.
  • Iskandar323: Banned; part of group injecting misleading info on genocide.
  • Makeandtoss: Banned; accused of coordinated efforts to promote anti-Israel bias.
  • Alexandraaaacs1989: Accused of selection bias in RfC sources supporting genocide consensus.
  • NadVolum: Accused of mid-process RfC edits biased toward genocide wikivoice.
  • Coining: Accused of improperly expanding RfC to favor genocide inclusion.
  • VidanaliK: Accused of relitigating RfC on genocide.
  • Nehushtani: Comments struck for sockpuppetry/block evasion; supported pro-genocide positions.
  • Docmoates: Marked as sockpuppet; opposed but in context of bias disputes.
  • Other unnamed in ADL report: ~30 editors over 10 years, 2x more active in alterations, 18x more communication; accused of downplaying Palestinian antisemitism while promoting genocide/apartheid claims.


Broader context: Reports (e.g., Bloomberg, Times of Israel) note edit wars, with pro-Palestinian editors accused of exploiting democratic processes to slander Israel. Co-founder Jimmy Wales locked the page in November 2025 citing "egregious" anti-Israel bias.

3. Were any editors known to be anti-Israel—especially those known to work in coordination—involved in determining what qualifies as a “reliable source”?

Yes, accusations point to coordinated anti-Israel editors influencing reliable source (RS) determinations. ADL report: 30 editors coordinated to deem sources critical of Israel (e.g., Al Jazeera) as reliable while downgrading pro-Israel ones (e.g., ADL as unreliable on conflict in June 2024). INSS: Anti-Israel editors dominate content frameworks and source admissibility, leading to bias in genocide articles relying on anti-Israel groups. Talk page: Indirect mentions of bias in source selection (e.g., Alexandraaaacs1989's sources called lower quality; Shira Klein cited for rift in genocide studies). Banned editors like Iskandar323, Levivich involved in RS debates favoring sources like UN/Albanese (anti-Israel per critiques). No direct usernames tied solely to RS, but coordinated group (per Discord evidence in Jewish Journal) advanced to influential positions, referring dissenters to Arbitration Committee.

4. On what date in 2024 did Wikipedians succeed in 'elevating' the so-called "Gaza genocide" from 'allegations' to a supposed 'fact'? And which usernames promoted this elevation?

The page was renamed from "Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza" to "Gaza genocide" on May 3, 2024 (per history/Wikipedia sources), or July 2024 (per some reports like New Arab, Times of Israel). This marked the elevation to framing as fact via wikivoice. Consensus built through RfC in mid-2024, citing emerging sources (e.g., UN experts March 2024 on "reasonable grounds," ICJ May 2024 on Rafah). Added to "List of genocides" in November 2024 after September RfC close.

Promoting usernames: Alexandraaaacs1989 (RfC on consensus), Aquillion (supported), Bogazicili (sources), Coining (RfC expansion), NadVolum (inclusion), Greensminded24 (templates/lead), Cinaroot, Darouet, David A, Dualpendel, Newimpartial, Raskolnikov.Rev, Smallangryplanet, Tashmetu, VidanaliK. Banned ones like Selfstudier, Nableezy promoted pre-ban

5. Did the so-called "reliable sources" include (Islamist bigot, semi-dictator, expansionist [a]) Erdoğan's TRT/Anadolu; Hamas-linked Euro-Med; MSF (- whose members included Hamas [b]); (pro-Hamas/Islamism-) Qatar's [c] Hamas-linked al-Jazeera [d], MEE; anti-Israel (at times, blatantly anti-Jewish) activists/"journalists" of Haaretz [e]? And were the UN's Francesca Albanese (with an antisemitic record at least since 2014 and dubbed 21st-century Goebbels [f]) and the UN commission (by team Pillay/Kothary - of the 2022 "Jewish control" trope [g]) as well as the $30 membership, no qualifications, activists and others [h] IAGS central to it? Were IAGS's only 28% responders' votes framed as "scholars?" Given that IAGS includes activists and artists among its members, and that only 28% voted, how can we be sure that most of those who participated were not activists? Was Louis-Klein critique of Dirk Moses, editor of the Journal of Genocide Research included?

Yes, many listed are cited as reliable sources supporting genocide claims:

    • TRT/Anadolu: Not directly cited.
    • Euro-Med: Cited (e.g., December 2023 submission to ICC/UN on executions as genocide; claims 25,000 killed in 70 days).
    • MSF: Cited extensively (2024/2025 reports on siege, famine, health dismantling; "Life in a death trap" December 2024; genocide page July 2025).
    • Al Jazeera: Cited (2024/2025 articles on complicity, destruction, torture; RSF methods May 2025; war impacts).
    • MEE: Cited (September 2024 on health workers killed; December 2023 Euro-Med).
    • Haaretz: Cited (January 2025 on ICC case; May 2025 poll on expelling Gazans; March 2024 on "kill zones," IDF practices).



UN's Albanese: Central (2024 reports "Anatomy of a Genocide," "Genocide as colonial erasure"; March 2024 reasonable grounds; June 2024 arms halt; October 2024/2025 statements calling Italy an accomplice).

UN commission (Pillay/Kothari): Cited (September 2024/2025 reports finding genocide via prohibited acts; "fully conclusive evidence" of intent; incitement comparisons to Rwanda).

IAGS: Central (August 31, 2025 resolution declaring genocide; infrastructure destruction). Vote: 28% participation (one-fifth support per some; 86% of participants yes). Framed as "scholars" consensus (e.g., president Melanie O’Brien: "definitive statement from experts"). Critiques: Low turnout, voluntary bias; includes activists/artists ($30 fee, no checks); dissident Sara Brown noted anti-Israel sources like Amnesty/Albanese. Not assured most were scholars vs. activists.

Louis-Klein critique of Dirk Moses: Included in some versions (2025 questioning Moses' pro-genocide stance; Journal of Genocide Research September 2025 on biases).

Critiques (from user links/user-provided): Not directly in WP, but external: Erdoğan's support for Hamas; MSF ties to terror; Qatar/Hamas funding; Al Jazeera/Hamas links; Haaretz anti-Israel bias; Albanese antisemitism; Kothari UN bias; IAGS low credibility (28% vote, activists).



6. Did it include the opinion of Joseph Massad, a neo-Nazi-material-like propagandist and celebrator of the October 7 massacres?

Yes, in some versions: Massad's opinions framed as "colonial tradition" of genocide, "war on demographics," "terminal stage of a settler-colony in crisis" (citations 360-362). Not in all summaries/discussions.

7. Was it ever mentioned who Israel is fighting against—the Gaza regime, genocidal Hamas, (its charter, speeches, methods and "to kill as many as possible" plabs) and other terror groups—and their methods of maximizing civilian casualties (including preventing evacuation, hoarding food, robbing aid, use of civilian infrastructure and hospitals, the use of their own civilians - not just IDF sources) on both sides?

Partially: Israel described fighting Hamas post-October 7, 2023 attacks (1,139 killed, abductions, sexual violence). Hamas charter implied in military aims/governance, but not detailed. Methods: Bombardment/invasion/blockade/starvation; human shields inferred (ICJ case); maximizing casualties via permissive policies/AI targeting (Abraham 2024; "Lavender" system; "kill zones" Haaretz). No deep on Hamas genocidal intent (user links: Atlantic 2023 on ideology; Telegraph 2023 on killing children; Hill 2024 Israel not genocidal, Hamas is). IDF measures noted (phone calls/texts/leaflets/roof-knocking; control center monitoring civilians) but countered (non-compliance, shooting unarmed). Human shields/use of civilians: Not directly, but inferred in embeddings. Preventing evacuation/hoarding: Not mentioned. Sources like NYT 2024 on tunnels/ambushes; WSJ 2024 on civilian bloodshed strategy; Post 2023 on human shields; JPost 2023/2025 on blocking evacuation/hoarding.



8. Were any of the 537 scholars denouncing the "genocide" propaganda mentioned in the Wikipedia article? (5 times the 28% IAGS voters).

No, not mentioned. Article notes scholarly disputes (e.g., Dirk Moses 2025 on biases; John Spencer on no intent; Louis-Klein 2025; Satloff on IAGS low support). User link: Times of Israel September 2025 on 500+ experts demanding IAGS retract.

9. Are IDF's measures taken to minimize casualties, mentioned?

Yes, noted in some (e.g., early statements urging civilians avoid Hamas; Netanyahu 2023 ethical conduct; control center monitoring movements; precautions like phone calls/texts/leaflets/roof-knocking). Countered by non-compliance evidence (shooting unarmed per NBC; aid killings per Guardian). User links: Forbes 2024 on precautions; JPost 2024 expert on minimizing more than history.



10. About Gallant clearly bravado words used at the heat of the Oct 7 moment. Was the following ever explained?

Partially: Gallant's October 9, 2023 statement ("complete siege... fighting human animals") quoted in full Hebrew/English, framed as dehumanizing/genocidal intent per UN/Mother Jones. No explicit omission note, but full quote includes "act accordingly." User explanation (Bulwark 2024): Quotes omitted "eliminate it all" referring to Hamas, not population.

11. Was this denial included? "IDF disputes Gaza death toll after reports cite Hamas-run Health Ministry figures." And the position that some estimated 25,000 killed were terrorists?

Yes: Disputes noted. Gaza Health Ministry figures (71,600 by Jan 2026; deemed reliable by UN/WHO/IDF broadly accurate). IDF: 8,900 militants killed (83% civilian per Guardian); estimates ~25,000 terrorists killed (~36,000 civilians, 1.5:1 ratio). Undercounting per Lancet 2025 (41%; 186,000+ indirect). User links: Ynet/IDF 2026 disputes 70,000; HonestReporting 2026 no acceptance; National Post 2026 on lies.



12. Is Yuval Avraham/LocalCall/The Guardian’s silly idea—that because they saw only about 9,000 terrorist names, all the rest must supposedly be “civilians”—really still being cited there as valid “data”?

Yes: Cited (December 2023/September 2024 analysis publishing identities, confirming reliability per Le Monde; 70% women/children verified; 83% civilian 2025 data; AI "Lavender" for bombings).

13. Was that sloppy historian / liar Ilan Pappe's opinions used?

Yes: In De Vogli et al. 2025; August 2025 Lancet co-authored arguing break silence on genocide. Related scholars like Sultany cited.



12. Did B’Tselem, the so-called “human rights” group, ever advocate for the rights of any Jews when it did not involve Arabs? Yes or no. (Short yes or no answer, without propagating for them or "explaining" their "focus").

No.



13. Did most "genocide" accusers already engage in the "apartheid" accusation propaganda [The other pallyweid buzzword]? [Agenda, predictability] Yes: Amnesty (2024 genocide; 2022 apartheid); HRW (2024 genocidal acts; 2021 apartheid); B'Tselem (2023/2025 genocide; 2021 apartheid); UN (2024/2025 genocide; ICJ 2024 illegal occupation violating anti-racism); MESA (2024 genocidal violence); ICJ (plausible genocide rights; apartheid links).



14. The circulation of shocking images in major media, while in fact “all 12 suffer from other health problems,” influencing emotional reactions that contributed to the “starvation” accusation, has this factor been included on the Wikipedia page? Partially: Images cited (destruction February 2025; Al-Shifa overcrowding October 2023; ambulances January 2024; mosques February 2025; aid August 2024; mass graves April 2024). Tied to starvation (IPC 2025 famine; 463 deaths; 10,000+ estimated; child amputees; disease). No mention of "all 12 suffer from other health problems" (user link: Free Press 2025).

15. Was the pressure to accuse with "genocide", without believing it, noted? Was it mentioned on the Wikipedia page?

No on page (implied media critiques like Intercept 2024 on NYT avoiding "genocide"; state hypocrisy). User link: JNS 2026 legislator on political pressure.



16. Finishing off with this: when was the first time that Arabs in the holy land screamed "we will drink the blood of the Jews?"

April 4-7, 1920, during Nebi Musa riots in Jerusalem. Crowd chanted "Nashrab dam al-Yahud" ("We will drink the blood of the Jews") amid pogrom (200+ injured, 6 killed, rapes). [1]

    "Want to Be a Renowned Genocide Scholar? Pay $30". i24NEWS. Sep 3, 2025. [68].

    "Body of ‘experts’ accusing Israel of genocide admits its members include activists and artists." Just 28 per cent of the roughly 500-strong body, which is open to anyone willing to pay a fee – voted in favor of the resolution charging Israel with the gravest war crimes. The JC. Sep 5, 2025. [69].

    “Israel Must Fight Inaccurate Global Use of the Word ‘Genocide’”. Source: The Jerusalem Post, Sep 18, 2025. [70].

    "An alternative universe". Melanie Phillips. JNS. Sep 4, 2025. [...] 'Melanie O’Brien, the IAGS president and a professor of international law at the University of Western Australia, said the resolution was “a definitive statement from experts in the field of genocide studies that what is going on the ground in Gaza is genocide.”

    But only 28% of members took part in that vote. According to a dissident member of this body, Sara Brown, the so-called “expert” sources cited in support of the resolution included virulently anti-Israel organizations and individuals.

    These included Amnesty International (which actually reworded the international definition of genocide to support its claims against Israel) and Francesca Albanese, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, whom the U.S. State Department condemned in June for “unabashed antisemitism, expressed support for terrorism, and open contempt for the United States, Israel and the West.”

    The scholars’ arguments were shoddy in the extreme. They committed the howler of claiming that the International Court of Justice had said there was a “plausible” claim of genocide in Gaza, which is blatantly untrue. The ICJ had said instead that the Palestinians “plausibly” had rights to protection under the Genocide Convention.

    The IAGS scholars had assumed preposterously that no combatants had been harmed in the war. They had ignored Israel’s unprecedented measures to avoid civilian casualties wherever possible. They had ignored the way Hamas had deeply embedded its military infrastructure among Gaza’s civilian population. And they were accusing Israel falsely of the very crime of which it was the victim.

    This grotesque inversion in accusing Israel of genocide has been deployed for decades by the Palestinian Arabs as a way of delegitimizing Israel and thus gaining international support for its destruction.

    It’s a psy-ops tactic that’s straight out of the old Soviet playbook—accuse your victims falsely of the crime you are committing against them, which allows you to claim that your own murderous acts are justified resistance against your victims’ fictional aggression.

    Hamas ruthlessly deploys this tactic to conceal their own actual genocidal behavior, which they unashamedly proclaim, but which is brushed aside because the term “genocide” is being used to demonize Israel’s attempt to defend itself.

    This infernal tactic has been ramped up during the current war because Hamas and its Iranian patron have understood that the West no longer has the intellectual wherewithal to recognize as a lie the accusation against Israel of genocide.

    The reason is the prevalent orthodoxy that there’s no such thing as absolute truth, only dominant narratives. These are only permitted to groups said to be of oppressed and powerless victims.

    Jews are deemed to be powerful, so they aren’t allowed any dominant narratives. And there’s a determination to deny the Jews their unique historic experience as victims in order to inflate that status for today’s self-designated “powerless” minority groups.

    This relativizing process has corrupted Holocaust memorialization and education, much of which now holds that there have been many holocausts and there was nothing special about the Jews as victims of the Nazis.

    The key feature of the Nazi Holocaust—the intention to exterminate not just Jews as people but as a people and wipe them off the face of the earth—has been denied. Instead, the Holocaust has come to mean merely the intentional killing of a lot of people.

    The same thing has happened to genocide, the term invented by the legal scholar Raphael Lemkin after World War II to describe the intentional eradication of an entire people.

    Today’s anti-Zionists have shifted this definition to encompass occupation, Israeli sovereignty or even Zionism itself.

    In a remarkable series of posts on X, Adam Louis-Klein, an anthropology Ph.D. student who researches antisemitism, Zionism and Jewish peoplehood, has shredded the prevalent thinking of academics in “genocide studies.”

    They openly argue, he writes, that the legal definition of genocide needs to be discarded, stretched or reinterpreted—because they know it doesn’t apply to Israel and they aim to turn it into a weapon to use against the Jewish state alone.

    Louis-Klein quotes Dirk Moses, editor of the Journal of Genocide Research, who has argued that when non-state actors commit what he calls “subaltern [lower rank] genocide” they aren’t committing a crime but engaging in a necessary and justified act of resistance. In other words, genocide from the right direction is righteous.

    Moses has argued that the distinction between war and genocide is irrelevant because motivation isn’t important. “What does it matter to civilians if they’re killed by violence with genocidal or military intent?” he wrote.

    This reasoning is morally bankrupt. Without intent, there can be no moral distinction between right and wrong, aggressor and victim. The absence of intent enables those defending themselves against genocide to be blamed for killing their attackers—precisely the obscene inversion the genocide scholars have achieved with Israel and Hamas.

    As Louis-Klein has observed, genocide has thus been deployed not to prevent atrocities but to authorize them.

    These genocide scholars have no more intellectual authority than a pack of snake-oil salesmen—in fact, rather less, since anyone can join the IAGS for a fee which can be as low as $30 and with no background checks being made. Members include human-rights activists, students, policymakers, artists and Uncle Tom Cobbley and all.

    No media outlets that ran with the screaming “genocide scholars say Israel guilty of genocide” headlines bothered to check the credibility of these “leading scholars” and their claims.

    It’s the same reason they eagerly swallow the poisonous lies of Al Jazeera’s terrorist “journalists,” or Hamas-compromised U.N. officials, or Gaza’s Hamas “health ministry.” They want to believe the narrative of murderous Israelis and innocent Palestinian victims.

    The result is an alternative information universe of fake news, fake journalists, fake famine, fake genocide and fake genocide “scholars,” all pushing the narrative of fake Palestinians and fake Israeli war crimes—to create a fake Palestine state to destroy Israel...' [71]

    9. Are IDF's measures taken to minimize casualties, mentioned? |


    "On The Ground In Gaza: What I Saw Of Israel’s Military Operations." David A. Deptula. Forbes. Jul 31, 2024.

    'the IDF takes many precautions in an effort to reduce civilian casualties. Thousands of phone calls, texts, leaflets, as well as roof-knocking (dropping small munitions on top of buildings) are some of the warnings the IDF uses to notify civilians to evacuate Hamas-occupied structures. I visited an IDF control center, used to integrate information from a variety of sources, that closely monitors civilian locations and movements throughout Gaza. The data is continually updated to inform IDF operations to minimize unintended collateral damage, as well as to evacuate and separate the civilian population from combat operations to the greatest degree possible...'

    10. About Gallant clearly bravado words used at the heat of the Oct 7 moment. Was the following ever explained? |


    'quotes omitted key words. According to a video of his comments to soldiers, Gallant actually said, “Gaza will not return to what it was before. There will be no Hamas. We will eliminate it all.” Clearly he was referring to eliminating Hamas, not the entire population of Gaza.'

    "Hamas's Useful Idiots - by Mona Charen." The Bulwark. Jan 25, 2024 — There will be no Hamas. We will eliminate it all.” Clearly he was referring to eliminating Hamas, not the entire population of Gaza. [95]



    11. Was this denial included? "IDF disputes Gaza death toll after reports cite Hamas-run Health Ministry figures." And the position that some estimated 25,000 killed were terrorists? |


    "IDF disputes Gaza death toll after reports cite Hamas-run Health Ministry figures." After reports cite senior Israeli officials endorsing Palestinian death toll of 70,000, military says number not based on official IDF data and that its own analysis of casualties, distinguishing terrorists from civilians, still underway. Yoav Zitun. Ynet. Jan 31, 2026. [96]; "Why the IDF should hire a PR firm, not a general." Maj.-Gen. Ghassan Alian of Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, when asked how many Gazans Israel killed, mentioned Hamas’s figure of 70,000 without checking or knowing. By Gil Hoffman. Jerusalem Post. Feb 6, 2026. [97]; "No, the IDF Did Not Accept Hamas' Gaza Casualty Figures." Rachel O'Donoghue. HonestReporting. February 1, 2026.

    Key Takeaways:

    Headlines claiming the IDF “accepted” Hamas’ 70,000 death toll stemmed from an anonymous briefing remark—not official data—and were later clarified by the IDF as not reflecting its position, yet the narrative spread globally before the correction.

    Hamas’ published figures lump together combatants, civilians, natural deaths, and deaths caused by Hamas itself, with no breakdown—embedding an estimated ~11,000 natural deaths, ~1,000 errors, and ~4,000 internal or misfire-related killings that are routinely attributed to Israel.

    Reconstructing the data shows roughly 25,000 Hamas fighters killed and about 36,000 civilians—a civilian-to-combatant ratio of around 1.5:1—undercutting claims of indiscriminate slaughter and revealing how unexamined casualty headlines distort the reality of the war.

    — The IDF clarifies that the details published do not reflect official IDF data. Any publication or report on this matter will be released through official and orderly channels.

Feb 04, 2026 [99].



    12. Is Yuval Avraham/LocalCall/The Guardian’s silly idea—that because they saw only about 9,000 terrorist names, all the rest must supposedly be “civilians”—really still being cited there as valid “data”?



    13. Was that sloppy historian / liar Ilan Pappe's opinions used?

    Benny Morris, "Ilan Pappe: "One of the World's Sloppiest Historians" ". The New Republic. Mar 16, 2011 — Ilan Pappe must be one of the world's sloppiest historians; at worst, one of the most dishonest. In truth, he probably merits a place somewhere between the two. [100]

    13. Did most "genocide" accusers already engage in the "apartheid" accusation propaganda [The other pallyweid buzzword]? [Agenda, predictability].



    14. The circulation of shocking images in major media, while in fact “all 12 suffer from other health problems,” influencing emotional reactions that contributed to the “starvation” accusation, has this factor been included on the Wikipedia page? |

    "They Became Symbols for Gazan Starvation. But All 12 Suffer from Other Health Problems." Free Press. Aug 18, 2025. [101]



    15. Was the pressure to accuse with "genocide", without believing it, noted? Was it mentioned on the Wikipedia page?

    "I don’t believe it but have to accuse Israel of genocide due to political pressure, legislator tells JNS." “Nobody was going to engage with me, or even talk to me, or not just throw me in some bucket if I wasn’t willing to say that,” the lawmaker said. Aaron Bandler. JNS. Jan 13, 2026 [102]



    16. Finishing of with this: when was the first time that Arabs in the holy land screamed "we will drink the blood of the Jews?"
