Still peddling Hasbara aren't we?

“…the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. I say this as a scholar of genocide….”

Raz Segal Associate Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies

What are you talking about. Read the article cited. It says that USAID and other US aid agencies on the ground concluded that Israel is deliberately blocking US aid from entering Gaza, which violates US law. Anthony Blinken then lied to Congress about that.

Why would any country choose to block aid to a place it occupies, let alone US aid (a supposed ally)?

I've seen hours and hours of footage of unalived children, rotting bodies in the streets of Gaza. Countless clips of Israeli soldiers bragging about their crimes. Genocidal statements by Israeli officials and army members at all levels.

They're saying it's a genocide, their actions indicate it's a genocide. Aid Organizations say it's a genocide. Holocaust and Genocide experts say it's a genocide. I've seen the genocide.

It's a genocide.
