dead Israelis, let’s pretend 73,000 Israelis were killed in the Gaza War
— the same exact number as dead Palestinians. 

Would the world still accuse Israel of genocide?

After all, if there’s a multi-year war between one side with 2.23
million and another with 9.7 million — and 73,000 people died on each
side — that sure wouldn’t sound like a genocide to me. 


Because the connotative meaning of “genocide” necessarily includes the
intent to kill an entire genome, a.k.a. a “race” of people. It’s not
supposed to be a slick-sounding euphemism for “war with civilian
casualties by someone we don’t like.” 

I’m not making light of 73,000 deaths (which included an unknown number
of the 25,000 to 30,000 members of the Hamas military). Every life is
precious. It saddens me that we live on a planet where “holy war” isn’t
contradictory — or “war crime” redundant. 

population. 

And by definition, there can’t be a genocide when the birthrate is

[A]t any given time in Gaza, there are about 60,000 pregnant women.
United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF)
spokeswoman Tess Ingram claimed that 20,000 Palestinian babies were born
over the first 105 days, with a Gazan baby born every 10 minutes. After
720+ days, that’s approximately 140,000 new Gazans. 

This is the only “genocide” in world history where the birthrate is
DOUBLE the deathrate! 

But Israel’s critics point to the legalese. Here’s the U.N.’s official

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts
committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national,

Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to
bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing
measures intended to prevent births within the group; Forcibly
transferring children of the group to another group. Hmm. ANY of the
following acts intended to destroy “in whole or in part”?! Including the
infliction of “mental harm”?! 

Y’know, that’s pretty much every war in the history of the world! 

Since the beginning of time, almost all wars have pitted one group of
other, over and over again, either “in whole or in part.” 

And in most wars, people die. Sometimes by the millions.

Which means, since Nazi Germany considered itself a unique Aryan
ethnicity and the Allied powers intended to destroy the Nazi government
“in whole or in part,” by the definition of the U.N. statute, the Allies
committed genocide against the Germans in World War II. 

And don’t forget the horrible “mental harm” the Allies inflicted on poor
Adolf Hitler! Why, that one nursery rhyme in particular was just mean! 

In fact, the Allies inflicted so much “mental harm” on the Nazis that
Hermann Göring, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, and Adolf Hitler all
committed suicide. (Gasp!) Over 7,000 Germans killed themselves. 

Clearly, we owe the Nazis an apology.

absurd than weaponizing the pain of the Holocaust against its
descendants? 

Says 

A United Nations commission of inquiry says Israel has committed
genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. 

A new report says there are reasonable grounds to conclude that four of
the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been
members of a group, causing them serious bodily and mental harm,
deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy the group, and
preventing births. 

It cites statements by Israeli leaders, and the pattern of conduct by
Israeli forces, as evidence of genocidal intent. 

Accusing Israel of genocide is the new blood libel. And until relatively
recently, the only ones marching for Hamas, cosplaying in a keffiyeh, or
parroting the “genocide” libel were on the radical left. 

Originally, they were the extreme of the extreme, even going as far as
attacking Jewish students on American campuses for the crime of
Jewishness. 

the PR power of the TikTok algorithm, grassroots activists so
successfully vilified Israel as genocidal, bloodthirsty colonists, the
party’s corporatists were forced to switch sides. And now the Democrats
are, for all essential purposes, the party of the Palestinians. 

In a Democratic Party primary, denying that Israel committed genocide is

From the Forward:

Palestinian rights have increasingly become a litmus test for Democrats.

Recent national polls show Democratic voters have as a group become more
sympathetic to Palestinians. The IMEU Policy Project conducted a poll
after the Democratic primary for New York City mayor last year, which
showed that Zohran Mamdani’s sharp criticism of Israel attracted new
voters and energized parts of the Democratic electorate that contributed
to his victory. The post-primary survey showed that 78% agreed with his
belief that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, and 79% supported
restricting weapons to Israel. 

Last August, the Democratic National Committee withdrew a resolution
reaffirming the party’s support for Israel and a two-state solution to
avoid a clash with younger and progressive activists who were pressing
for sharper opposition to Israel. [emphasis added] 

released its latest poll numbers, and 70% of Republicans sympathize with
the Israelis, as compared to just 13% with the Palestinians. 

But some so-called conservatives are working overtime to change the
Republican Party. They want to follow the Democrats’ example — and
they’re using the Democrats’ language to do so. 

In many ways, it’s the horseshoe theory personified.

so-called conservatives who oppose bombing Iran are the exact same ones
who also just accused Israel of genocide? 

Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and more. (Not
exactly a murderer’s row of towering intellects, is it?) 

But see for yourself:

Which means that we can safely predict three things:

The same so-called conservatives who accuse Israel of genocide will also
try to split the MAGA coalition over the Iranian strikes. Let me be
declared Israel’s fault. (Again.) If ANYTHING goes sideways, Israel will
be blamed. Get ready for a slew of podcasts and social media posts:
Something-something-disloyal Jews, AIPAC controls congress, Israel
First, space lasers, blah blah. The facts, of course, are diametrically

The reason we’re attacking Iran is that President Donald Trump made a
risk-reward calculation and rolled the dice. That’s really it. (Let’s
just hope the intelligence reports that suggest this will lead to regime
change are accurate.) The reason Israel attacked Iran is that Donald
Trump told Israel to attack Iran. (Believe me, if President Trump wanted
Israel to stay on the sidelines, Israel would’ve stayed on the
sidelines.) I assume the American strategy is to weaken the Iranian
regime with military strikes and psychological warfare, so the Iranian
people will be able to overthrow the mullahs. There’s zero chance Trump
is planning a land invasion, so the Iranian people will ultimately
powerful weapon. It can rally the downtrodden, inspire the weary, and
mobilize a long-suffering people to rise up, defy the odds, and give
their children a better life. 

After all, if the Iranian people don’t believe they’ll prevail, they
won’t even try. They paid a ghastly price for the last uprising, when
the civilian death toll possibly exceeded 30,000. 

(And since 73,000 died in the Gaza “genocide,” does that mean Iran had
41% of a genocide? Yeah, I’m not totally sure how the genocide math
works, either. Anyway.) 

people to rise up against the mullahs. 

So beware those in the MAGA camp who are trying to do the opposite.

It’s fascinating how the intellectual titans of alt-right media —
super-geniuses such as Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson,
Andrew Tate, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Thomas Massie — are all once
again on the same side. Ain’t that a coincidence? The same Einsteins who
lectured us about Jewish space lasers, Mrs. Macron’s crotch, “Hitler is
awesome,” Erika Kirk plotting against Charlie Kirk, and how demons sneak
into bedrooms have all united in opposition to President Trump. 

All the stupidest Republicans are standing together. As usual.

Be smart — and don’t stand with them.

Mayor Mamdani declaring war on “rugged individualism” and will reach a
crescendo with the midterm elections. Nothing less than the fate of the
America First movement teeters in the balance. 

Never before have the political battlelines been so clearly defined. Win
or lose, 2026 will transform our country.
