It is Downright Scandalous to Accuse Israel of Genocide
December 09, 2023

You may believe that Israel's response to October 7 is disproportionate. You may even believe that, on some level, the IDF is guilty of war crimes.

But to accuse Israel of committing genocide is as preposterous as it is scandalous. Yet the word "genocide" is virtually ubiquitous these days, the most common description of Israel's allegedly abdominal acts.

According to the Britannica website, genocide is "the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race."

The worst genocide in history was the Holocaust, where Hitler slaughtered 6 million out of 9 million European Jews in his attempt to wipe them off the map.

This included the extermination of 3 million out of 3.3 million Polish Jews – more than 9 out of every 10.

In Cambodia, Pol Pot exterminated almost a quarter of his country, targeting specific parts of the population deemed unworthy to live.

How, then, can Israel be charged with practicing genocide against the Palestinians, specifically against the Palestinians of Gaza?

The population of Gaza is roughly 2.1 million, and if the figures released by Hamas are to be taken at face value, then roughly 17,000 Gazans have been killed by the IDF since Israel began its military operations in the aftermath of the October 7 massacre.

That amounts to less than 1 percent of the total population.

Even if all those killed were civilians and none of them combatants, that would not constitute anything remotely near to "genocide."

Not in the slightest.

To the contrary, these numbers would be typical of civilian casualties in war –tragic, agonizing, heartbreaking – but nothing comparable to genocide in the slightest.

To be sure, these are human lives, each of inestimable value, and we should mourn the loss of every one of them. I am not minimizing these deaths in the slightest, especially those of women and children. But to call such losses "genocide" is to mock the very meaning of the word and the suffering it represents.

When you add in the fact that the IDF goes to unusual lengths to avoid civilian casualties, including dropping hundreds of thousands of leaflets warning civilians to flee, along with tens of thousands of automated texts and calls, the cry of "genocide" becomes all the more preposterous.

The reality is that, if the IDF wanted to slaughter most of the population of Gaza, it could do so in a matter of days, if not hours, with virtually no Israeli losses.

This alone should serve as a stark rebuke to those who dare use the "genocide" word.

As for the broader charge of Israel’s alleged genocide (or ethnic cleansing) of the Palestinians, consider the numerical growth of the Arab (= Palestinian) population within Israel proper, along with in the West Bank and Gaza.

The number of Arabs who remained in Israel after the War of Independence has grown from 200,000 in 1948 to more than 2 million today, representing an increase of more than 1,000 percent. This is "genocide"? Seriously?!

You might say, "We’re not talking about all Palestinians. We’re talking about the Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank. That’s where the genocide is taking place."

Let's look at those numbers too.

Using the most common estimates, the Palestinian population of the West Bank in 1967, when Israel occupied it after the Six Day War, was slightly under 600,000. Today, the Palestinian population of the West Bank is roughly 2.5 million, representing an increase of better than 400 percent.

As for Gaza, the Palestinian population when Israel unilaterally withdrew from the region in 2005 was roughly 1.3 million. Today, as noted earlier, it has grown to 2.1 million, representing an increase of a little about 60 percent in less than 20 years.

So, the Arab (Palestinian) Israeli population has grown by more than 1,000 percent since 1948, the Palestinian population of the West Bank has grown by more than more than 400 percent since 1967, and the Palestinian population of Gaza has grown by better than 60 percent since 2005.

This is supposed to be "genocide"? This is what "ethnic cleansing" looks like?

The dramatic growth of a people equals their "genocide"?

In a previous article, I mentioned the interaction between a mother and her 15-year-old daughter after her daughter said that they should not eat at McDonald’s because of the company’s alleged support of Israel.

The mother said, "Tell me what Israel is doing wrong without using the word genocide."

"But it is genocide," her daughter replied.

The same charge was raised when I recently interacted with university students from Gaza while in India. And that same charge is repeated day and night, unthinkingly and incessantly, raised against the very people who suffered the worst genocide in human history, while university presidents cannot state that the call for the genocide of the Jews constitutes bullying and harassment.

This is a scandal.

Protesting Israel


A.F. Branco Cartoon – American student anti-Israeli protesters need to reflect on their attitude toward Israel and the Jews. The slogan "from the river to the sea" is basically calling for the extermination of Jews. They seem to have more sympathy toward the terrorist organization that murdered 1400 innocent men, women, and children than they do for the victims.

Radical pro-Palestinian protesters heckled Holocaust survivor Susanne DeWitt, an 89-year-old Holocaust survivor and called Jews "Zionist Pigs" during a City Council meeting in Berkeley, California this week. The Jew-haters also chanted "from the river to the sea" a famous expression in support of the extermination of Jews in Israel during the meeting.

Susanne DeWitt was speaking in favor of Berkeley’s Holocaust Remembrance Day when the protesters continued to disrupt her and would not let her finish.

The mob action was captured by The Jewish Community Relations Council.

There's no way these Jew rats can wrangle their way out of this

This is the first globally televised genocide and no amount Jewish mouth salad can bend the truth.

These fools think the world is like any of their Jewish controlled courts in the West were they can argue their pilpul before a compromised masonic judge or a Jewish one.

This is real life with real justice and not the corruption they have used to move their way up the ladder to take over the west .

The Nuremberg trials was Jewish false accusation of genocide of Jews that never happened.

Today , karma is coming for them.

Their 80y lies are coming to an end and no amount of media hogwash or western judicial ruling can save them.

A frightening video that has gone viral on X shows an organizer with the Anti-War Committee Chicago teaching far-left activists how to chant "death to America" and "death to Israel" during an "anti-war" conference held at Teamster's Union's Headquarters in Chicago, Illinois.

The Free Press reported during a breakout session at the "anti-war" conference, Shabbir Rizvi, who serves as an organizer with Anti-War Committee Chicago, began to teach far-left activists how to chant "death to America" and "death to Israel" in the Persian language Farsi. Rizvi told the radical leftists in attendance to chant "Marg bar Israel," which in Farsi means "death to" or "down with" Israel.

I’m not following what is going on between Israel and Palestine, the media will only tell us what serves its interests and not the truth. So it’s hard to say what is really going on there. Also the Palestine can’t scream genocide when they attacked first, once you draw the first blood, you lose the right to complain about the level of the response you get. America is behind the war between the two and can stop it tonight if it wants.

When 8000 Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) were slaughtered by the Serbian army during the war in the former Jugoslavia between 1991 and 1995, it was described as genocide, ethnici cleaning and crume against humanity.

The entire population of the bosniaks as at then was about 1.7 million and not even up to a quarter was massacred but the word "genocide" was used to describe the ugly incident. Years later people like Slobadan milosevic, Ratko miladic, Radovan karadzic and others were triald for genocide and they were sentenced.

A Jewish family Karnofsky, who immigrated from Lithuania to the United States, took pity on the 7-year-old boy and brought him to their home.

There he stayed and spent the night in this Jewish family home, where for the first time in his life he was treated with kindness and tenderness.

When he went to bed, Mrs Karnovski sang him Russian lullabies, which he sang with her.

Later he learned to sing and play several Russian and Jewish songs.

Over time, this boy became the adopted son of this family.

Mr. Karnofsky gave him money to buy his first musical instrument, as was the custom in Jewish families.

Later, when he became a professional musician and composer, he used these Jewish melodies in compositions such as St. James's Hospital and Go Down Moses.

The little boy grew up and wrote a book about this Jewish family, who adopted him in 1907. And proudly spoke Yiddish fluently.

In memory of this family and until the end of his life, he wore the Star of David and said that in this family he learned "to live a real life and determination."

This little boy's name was Louis Armstrong. This little boy was called Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong. Louis Armstrong proudly spoke fluent Yiddish and “Satchmo” is Yiddish for “big cheeks, a nickname some say was given to him by Mrs. Karnofsky!
