Genocide

Israel faces a decisive battle over narrative as the "Gaza Genocide" label spreads. The government must acknowledge its mistakes and provide transparent evidence; otherwise, the verdict will stand.

We must reject the urge to equate these two catastrophes in order to protect truth and preserve the moral and historical precision required to understand both tragedies in their full gravity.

Rabbi Marvin Hier joined several rabbinic leaders in arguing that using the “Lemkin” name to accuse Israel of genocide misrepresents the history and moral intent behind Lemkin’s work.

Professor Marianne Hirsch also argued the Holocaust must be taught alongside Gaza and the "Nakba," warning against “exceptionalism” in Holocaust memory.

Thieren said he was shocked that the roles of perpetrator and victim were assigned from the outset of the war.

"One of the ways in which the Gaza genocide is worse than... even the Holocaust – is that you didn’t have... Nazis mocking the genocide after it was over," Hasan wrote.

I’m even more ashamed of those American Jews swallowing these antisemitic “war crimes” libels, betraying themselves, not just their people.

While Jews blame Hamas for the war, many have also waned in their support of PM Benjamin Netanyahu's war tactics, a Washington Post poll found.
