BOGUS GENOCIDE ALERT!

IF THIS WERE A GENOCIDE, IT WOULD BE OVER BY NOW. SO WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE FALSELY INSISTING IT IS ONE?

There’s no genocide. Oh, and you’re not freeing Palestine.

Let’s put this as plainly as possible: If Israel wanted to perpetrate a genocide, this would be over by now. If genocide was their goal, this could have ended on October 8, 2023 — before hundreds of Israel’s best and brightest had died in this horrific, needless war.

I’m not sure how stupid you have to be to not see this reality. But if Israel wanted to perpetrate a genocide, they could do a hell of a lot better job at it than the almost two-year agony that Palestinians and Israelis have experienced since Hamas launched this war on 10/7.

Instead, they have undertaken a meticulous military operation minimizing harm to Palestinian civilians — at the cost of hundreds of their own citizen-soldiers and even as their enemy attempts to maximize the dead on their own side — and still the world wails about a pretend “genocide.”

Let’s put this another way. If there was a genocide, it could end today if Hamas surrendered — because that is the only thing prolonging this war (or, as you may view it, this “genocide”).

But they don’t.

They won’t, partly, because overseas “allies” — the people claiming there is a genocide — are egging Hamas on to total victory, until they have “liberated” Palestine from the river to the sea.

But here’s something to ponder: People who are experiencing genocide do not prolong their genocide.

If this were a genocide, the Palestinians could have ended it by now. All that would have to happen is for Hamas to surrender. It has always been that easy. And yet, overseas “peace activists” condemn Israel and refuse to demand the one thing that could end this conflict: Demand Hamas give up. On the contrary, even as it is clear that Hamas (and the broader Palestinian population) have lost disastrously, Western activists encourage them to keep fighting, no matter how many more Palestinians die.

This presents an interesting scenario.

If these activists actually believe there is an actual genocide, they are responding in a very incongruous manner. Their objective, it seems, is not to end what they insist is a genocide. They seem far more interested in condemning Israel for perpetrating it. It’s almost as though they are less concerned with ending Palestinian deaths than with denouncing Israeli self-defense.

It is a profoundly macabre strategy that exemplifies why I put the term “pro-Palestinian” in scoff quotes.

Personally, I don’t think most of the people who claim genocide actually believe it.

If you do not understand the many manifestations of antisemitism, let me fill you in: Antisemites have always accused Jews of the most heinous crimes the human mind can imagine. Infanticide. Blood-drinking. Embodying the devil — literal demonism.

Since the term genocide was coined, in 1944, specifically to describe the Jewish experience in the Holocaust, it has defined the ultimate inhumanity. So, as I wrote recently, it was inevitable that Jews would be accused of it.

Until we invent a worse crime or a more heinous word, “genocide” will be the definitive slur to throw at the Jews.

It does double duty because, in addition to being the worst crime imaginable, it also rubs salt in Jewish historical wounds and evokes intergenerational trauma. For “anti-Zionists” (who, as you may know, are not the same as antisemites LOL) this is just a cherry on the sundae of anti-Israel vilification.

I can’t believe anyone needs to say this, but apparently we do: Nothing remotely akin to what happened to the Jews of Europe is happening — in scope or intent — to the people of Gaza.

Israel is engaged in a defensive war against a genocidal enemy. The proportion of civilian casualties among Palestinians, according to experts who know better than the purple-haired girl screaming “Genocide!” at any passing Jew, is lower than in most contemporary or recent wars.

There is no genocide, FFS.

The “genocide” hoax is a wildly successful propaganda campaign that stupid people worldwide have swallowed enthusiastically because, as George Orwell said, “One of the marks of antisemitism is an ability to believe stories that could not possibly be true.”

What could be more despicable than accusing the victims of genocide of genocide?

I’ll tell you what is more despicable …

Believing that Palestinians are experiencing a genocide but refusing to demand the one thing that would end the “genocide” because it is too delicious a smear to cast at the Jews.

And yet this is entirely in keeping with the strategy of the “pro-Palestinians.”

In every conflict between Israel and Palestinians, overseas activists, reporters, diplomats and other “humanitarians” count up dead Palestinians like points in a football match and use those numbers as “proof” of how satanic Israel is.

It may not be so much that the genocide-mongers actually believe such a thing is happening but that they have literally run out of words to hurl at Israel.

It’s hard to imagine anything more despicable.

Oh, wait.

Here’s something.

There are actual genocides happening in the world today — in Sudan, in Myanmar, against Uyghurs in Western China, possibly against the Alawites in Syria, almost next door to where the faux genocide in Gaza is supposedly happening.

But those people die in oblivion, their plight eclipsed and ignored by the world, because the activist set is howling about a bogus genocide that they can falsely pin on the Jews.
