Jews Buying the Genocide Lie Betray Israel and Themselves

(Jerusalem Post) Gil Troy - The Washington Post reports that 61% of American Jews believe Israel "committed war crimes" in Gaza, while four in 10 find it "guilty of genocide." Really? I'm ashamed of those American Jews swallowing these antisemitic "war crimes" libels, betraying themselves, not just their people. Believing this "genocide" charge requires intellectual sloppiness, moral cowardice, and flamboyant disloyalty against your own people, who were attacked so brutally. My advice: Sharpen your brains, grow a spine, and watch your back. I get it. The media pounding is overwhelming. However, heaven is overflowing with too many fresh angels to pull punches. I find this genocide libel bigoted, not just false. This custom-made-for-Israel definition of "genocide" eliminates the requirement of an "intent to destroy." No genocidal army ever imported 14,125 tons of aid in one week alone or deployed soldiers risking their lives to protect humanitarian aid convoys. And no genocidal army ever had lawyers assessing military targets or officers aborting missions to minimize civilian damage. This is inversion-perversion. Accusing the Jewish state - engaged in a difficult war that Hamas started, with hostages still being starved - of the horrific crime Jews endured in the 1940s reeks of the diabolical hatred Jews endured for millennia. Finally, this newly diluted definition of genocide applies to any military conflict that kills civilians. Anyone honoring World War II veterans salutes "genociders," given the two to four million German and Japanese civilians killed. And anyone over 30 who remained silent as America killed over 940,000 civilians during the justified post-9/11 wars was "complicit" in their own country's "genocide." Some think antisemitism surged because Israelis have fought back so aggressively since Oct. 7. But antisemitism surged because Jews bled so broadly on Oct. 7. Our momentary weakness emboldened the haters. They rejoiced and started libeling Israel.
