Much has been written about the ugly, incessantly repeated lie that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
The latest analysis/debunking of this lie – which I urge you to read – was written by the Washington Examiner’s Guy Benson. Here is how it begins:
Facts can’t convert the Gaza ‘genocide’ faithful
The Gaza “genocide” lie is a demented article of faith within the red-green (leftist-Islamist) alliance, but it has also permeated much of Western society through a sustained, widespread, algorithm-warping, multiyear propaganda campaign that has inverted victim and aggressor. The seeds for this false narrative were planted within days of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, with prominent anti-Israel voices immediately decrying a “genocide” that was supposedly already being waged by the victims of that attack, who were still counting their dead at the time. It has become a sick, often inorganic obsession that has infected much of academia, various political movements, international organizations, and numerous cultural spaces. All manner of appalling behavior and naked bigotry have been dressed up and justified under the banner of opposing a “genocide” that does not exist and has never existed.
Mr. Benson goes on to provide chapter and verse of the specifics which debunk this lie. I again urge you to use the above link (here it is again) and read every word.
Then you can wonder along with me about a) how a lie like this, so easily shown to be a lie, continues to be spread by so many of our media…
…and b) if this lie were about an entity other than Israel, how fast it would have been discarded as the lie that it is.
