The Gaza genocide myth: Time to put an end to modern blood libel
What’s been most shocking over the last nearly three years, since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, has been the willingness of people in positions of power and responsibility to accept and repeat obviously untrue claims about Israel and Jews. Now, at least the worst of those, the libel that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, is having one leg after another kicked out from under it.
The Gaza genocide myth: Time to put an end to modern blood libel The claim that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza is a libel, a revised version of the medieval blood libel, that has gained traction through repetition. Experts and legal bodies have found no evidence to support a genocide claim against Israel, yet the accusation persists and is used to justify antisemitism. The author argues this libel should be treated as a conspiracy theory, detached from reality, and dismissed.
- The accusation of genocide against Israel in Gaza is a libel, similar to historical blood libels against Jews.
- International bodies and legal experts have found no evidence to support the claim of genocide by Israel.
- The “International Association of Genocide Scholars” resolution was based on a flawed process.
- The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has stated evidence does not support a genocide claim.
- The genocide libel against Israel is promoted by repetition and is used to justify antisemitism.
- The author calls for the genocide libel to be rejected as a baseless conspiracy theory.
