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.
