Article: 'No, Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza.' A voice of reason. Brett Stephens: There is No Genocide in Gaza. There is no Genocide in Gaza and there never has been. Further, the fault for any suffering being endured lies squarely at the door of Hamas, who could end the war at any moment.
Bret Stephens wades into one of the most hotly debated issues of late: whether Israel’s military actions in Gaza constitute genocide. The article has ignited fierce discussion, with supporters praising its legal clarity and critics decrying it as dismissive of Palestinian suffering.
For those seeking to understand a perspective that challenges the genocide label through a legal and military lens, Stephens’ piece offers a provocative entry point, one that demands careful scrutiny, not just buying the Hamas propaganda shoved in our faces over and over again..
Stephens’ Core Argument.
Stephens, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist known for his conservative-leaning foreign policy commentary, anchors his argument in the United Nations Convention on Genocide, which defines genocide as acts committed with “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.” He asserts that Israel’s actions in Gaza, while devastating, do not meet this threshold.
Citing the Gaza Health Ministry’s reported death toll of approximately 60,000, Stephens argues that the figure is far lower than what a genocidal campaign, given Israel’s military might, would produce. He points to Israel’s operational choices, such as issuing evacuation warnings, conducting ground operations that risk its own soldiers, and avoiding heavy strikes where hostages may be held, as evidence against genocidal intent.
In contrast, he explains that on Hamas’s October 7, Hamas slaughtered over 1,200 Israelis, deliberately targeting civilians based on identity, aligning it closer to the genocide definition. Stephens’ legal lens is narrow by design, focusing on the specific criterion of intent. He dismisses inflammatory statements by Israeli officials, such as calls to “erase” Gaza, as “vengeful sound bites” rather than policy directives.
His military analysis suggests that Israel’s actions reflect a counterterrorism strategy, however brutal, rather than a systematic extermination campaign. This framing challenges the genocide label by emphasizing legal and operational distinctions, inviting readers to open their eyes.
Why Listen to Him:
Legal Clarity: By grounding his argument in the UN’s genocide definition, Stephens provides a structured framework for assessing a term often used rhetorically. This can help readers navigate the emotional weight of the debate and focus on specific criteria, such as intent, which is central to international law.
Military Context: Stephens’ analysis of Israel’s operational tactics, evacuation warnings, targeted strikes, and restraint in hostage zones, offers insight into how military strategy is used to argue against genocidal intent.
Counterpoint to Prevailing Narratives: As a conservative voice in a liberal-leaning outlet, Stephens challenges what some see as a rush to label Israel’s actions as genocide. His piece resonates with those skeptical of mainstream media or international bodies like the UN, which have faced accusations of bias from pro-Israel advocates.
On platforms like X, supporters of Stephens’ view argue that his piece cuts through hyperbolic accusations, with posts citing the legal definition and Israel’s restraint as key points. Outlets like 'Israel Hayom' have echoed his reasoning, emphasizing that the casualty figures and military tactics do not align with genocidal campaigns like those in Rwanda or Bosnia.'

Danon at Security Council debate: 'UN relief agency is a Hamas arm'.
Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon participated in a UN Security Council debate on the Middle East and announced that Israel would take measures against the organization's humanitarian aid agency (OCHA), after claiming links between senior officials in the organization and Hamas. "OCHA is a Hamas propaganda arm operating from within the UN, using false data to harm Israel," he said. According to him, hundreds of agency employees in Israel will undergo security screening, and residence visas for senior officials will not be renewed, including OCHA's West Bank branch head Jonathan Whittall.

One-month visas to replace automatic documents for UN aid agency, Israel says.
Danny Danon told the Security Council that the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs “violates the U.N.’s own standards in every other conflict, but when it comes to Israel, those standards disappear.”

Reactibg to Nacton "Palestine" state decision:
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington “strongly rejects” Macron’s plan.
“This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace,” Rubio stated. “It is a slap in the face to the victims of Oct. 7.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) stated that Macron’s decision is “a shameful endorsement of terrorists” and that “the best way for this conflict to end is to back Israel in its righteous mission of rescuing the hostages and defeating Hamas.”
Isr. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said, “The French president’s pretension to create by mere words an illusory arrangement in our land is ridiculous and not serious,” adding that Macron’s latest statement showed that all the conditions he had set a few weeks ago had evaporated.
“All that remains is the illusory state he presumes to establish,” Sa’ar wrote on X. “A Palestinian state will be a Hamas state, just as the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip twenty years ago led to Hamas taking control of it. President Macron cannot provide security for Israel Let’s hope he succeeds in doing so on the streets of Paris. Israel’s attempt to base its security on Palestinian promises to fight terror completely failed in the Oslo process. Israel will no longer gamble on its security and its future.”
Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli wrote on X, “President @EmmanuelMacron, Here is the appropriate response to your recognition of a Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas terrorism,” posting a video from a 2017 incident in which Macron was slapped by a man during an election campaign appearance in Tain-l’Hermitage.
Defense Minister Israel Katz posted on X, “Macron’s announcement of his intention to recognize a Palestinian state is a disgrace and a surrender to terrorism, granting a reward and encouragement to the murderers and rapists of Hamas, who carried out the most horrific massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.”
He added, “Instead of standing with Israel at this challenging time, the French president is acting to weaken it. We will not allow the establishment of a Palestinian entity that would harm our security, endanger our existence, and undermine our historical right to the Land of Israel. We are all united to prevent this grave danger.”
Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, stated that “neither international conferences disconnected from reality nor unilateral statements at the United Nations will lead to peace.”
“Macron’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state after the massacre of Oct. 7 and precisely at a time when Hamas is still holding hostages is a disgraceful reward for terrorism,” Danon said. “Anyone who ignores the reality on the ground—that Israel has no partner for peace—harms not only Israel but the stability of the entire region.”
AIPAC stated that Macron “is acting as Hamas’s handmaiden” and is “rewarding Hamas’s barbaric attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7.”
“This unilateral recognition makes peace and reconciliation even more elusive,” it said. “We urge the administration and Congress to express their opposition to the French government concerning this irresponsible action.”
Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas welcomed Macron’s affirmation that “France will officially recognize the State of Palestine during the upcoming United Nations General Assembly session in September.”
According to the Palestinian news agency, WAFA, “Abbas expressed deep appreciation for the courageous step by France, one that will contribute significantly to achieving peace based on the two-state solution in line with international legitimacy and international law.”
