Genocide in Gaza? Yeah… riiiiiight.
“Civilian suffering in war is not proof of genocide.” (1)
“Civilian suffering in war is not proof of genocide.” (1)
“…reporters framed the IAGS conclusion as if the world’s genocide scholars had reached a unanimous determination…” (1)
IAGS is International Association of Genocide Scholars. Their vote regarding Gaza had none of the required debate, and collected votes from only 30% of its members to reach that conclusion.
Norman Goda, Indiana U:
“Israel, unlike other states, has been charged with genocide throughout its existence.” (2)
In a dissenting opinion, Professor Kenneth Roth (Princeton) is flat-out wrong, in that he stated:
“…But it [Israel] is trying to kill enough Palestinians and deprive them with enough severity that they are forced to flee into Egypt. Genocide with an intent to destroy a group in part is what’s really going on here…” (3)
No, Professor Roth, Israel’s intent is to disarm Hamas and remove Hamas from power, not to drive civilians into Egypt thru killing. Ken Roth’s idea is contradicted by Israel’s restoration of water lines and import of food and supplies:
“The Israeli government recently announced a new budget of $473 million for Gaza humanitarian aid – while cutting 3% of Israel’s budget for education, healthcare and the environment…” (1)
War Scholar John Spencer addressed Omer Bartov’s dissenting opinion:
“…Bartov claims that five statements by Israeli leaders prove genocidal intent…” –Excerpt from “I’m a War Scholar. There Is No Genocide in Gaza,” John Spencer. (4)
What can be done:
“Everyone has a role to play in pushing back against the false genocide smear and standing up for Jewish safety.
- Speak out against the misuse of “genocide.” When you hear or see the term used against Israel, remind others what genocide really means and how it is being perverted for political aims. War tragedies are real, but they are not genocide.
- Share credible resources. Post articles, talking points or expert quotes that debunk the smear. Encourage your family, friends and colleagues to get facts from credible voices – not just recycled propaganda.
- Support Jewish communities under attack. Reach out to your local synagogue, Jewish community organization or campus group to ask how you can help. Show visible solidarity – it sends a powerful message.
- Contact your representatives. Urge elected officials to reject the false genocide label, demand Hamas release all hostages and speak clearly against antisemitism across America and around the world.” (1)

Final Thought: If I was a “genocidist” for supporting Israel, then wouldn’t that make one a Jew-hater for believing false charges of genocide, seeing that such false charges came from antisemites such as Hamas and Al Jazeera? – Teddy Chadwick
