Israel Allied Organizations Launch Effort to Combat the Gaza ‘Genocide’ Lies
“Genocide is a well-established legal term and standard, proven by a pattern of conduct assessed over time.”
The left has been extremely effective in pushing these lies.
The Jerusalem Post reports:
Global coalition of orgs launch ‘Gaza GenoLIE’ initiative to counter ‘modern blood libel’
An alliance of 55 organizations has this week launched Gaza GenoLIE, an educational initiative about the “generated and orchestrated genocide lie promoted by anti-Zionists and antisemitic networks in the US, Europe and around the world.”
It further says that the “Gaza Genocide” is one of the biggest lies of the 21st century.
The website includes eight pieces of what it describes as “the Gaza GenoLIE puzzle.”
The initiative is led by organizations from around the world, including the Ireland-Israel Alliance, the Solomon Observatory on Discrimination (Italy), the Sweden-Israel Alliance, and others. There are also some major bodies on the list, including Stand With Us, the World Jewish Congress, CAMERA, and the National Jewish Advocacy Center.
Lie #1: Genocide claims against Israel only appeared after the October 7 Massacre
The first “lie” revolves around the notion that genocide claims against Israel only appeared after October 7, 2023. The website notes that calls of genocide were already widely used on social media and during protests on October 8, before the IDF even began a ground operation in Gaza.
Genocide is a well-established legal term and standard, proven by a pattern of conduct assessed over time. The website says that an accusation lodged within 24-48 hours after the Hamas massacre against Israel, before any such pattern could exist, “is a predetermined narrative, not a finding.”
Lie #2: Israel’s actions legally constitute genocide
The second “lie” presented is that Israel’s actions constitute genocide under the legal framework.
The crime of genocide was defined in the 1948 Genocide Convention, drafted following the Holocaust. Under Article II, genocide means certain acts – killing, causing serious harm, inflicting destructive conditions of life – committed “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such.”
