Pentagon Chief: ‘No Evidence of Genocide’ in Gaza

13

The victims of jihad barbarity are accused of the atrocities of their slaughterers. The Third Reich did the same thing.

Restating the obvious: The United States does not have any evidence that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza as it carries out its war against Palestinian militant group Hamas, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has said.

Israel declared war on Hamas last October after a surprise and deadly cross-border raid staged by the militant group, in which at least 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage.

Austin, who was delivering opening remarks on the Pentagon’s 2025 budget request, was interrupted twice by anti-Israeli protesters who made it into the hearing room on Capitol Hill, demanding that the US “stop funding Israel” and supporting a “genocide” in Gaza. The demonstrators forced the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing to pause while police removed them from the room.

Asked by Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) if he agreed with the protesters’ claims of genocide, Austin said he did not.

Last month, UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese concluded in a report that there are, in fact, “reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating Israel’s commission of genocide is met.”

The UN has also warned of further humanitarian “catastrophe” if the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) goes through with a planned ground offensive in Rafah, the last remaining Palestinian shelter in Gaza. On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government had set a date for the offensive to begin.

CAMERA laments:

As John-Paul Pagano explained in a 2018 article in Tablet, this portrayal of Jews as anti-human is a hallmark of the kind of conspiratorial antisemitism that underlies the most lethal forms of antisemitism:

Most forms of racism today depict their victims as subhuman—an “other” that is something less than “us.” But as with all conspiracy theories, the anti-Semite regards his object of obsession—the Jews—as an “other” that is both inhuman and anti-human. Meaning that Jews are so hideous and evil they revel in abominable practices no society could tolerate while, at the same time, exerting a supernatural control over the society that is forced to suffer them.

Anti-Semitism doesn’t stop at segregation or exploitation. The Jews are a kind of cosmic oppressor who must be resisted and destroyed.

More specifically, as a recent study showed, the portrayal of Jews as people with exceptional capacity for malevolence became a focus of Nazi propaganda after July of 1941, when the Holocaust began.

Some, like Tucker Carlson, have accused the US and Western Allies of committing war crimes in World War 2, since about 200,000 people died in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Both the UN and Tucker often lack context on the Allies of WW2 and Israel today.

Japanese were trying to make their own bomb and so was Germany.

More context:
The Imperial Japanese were the Hamas of their day.

Japanese army murdered 300,000 civilians in Nanking. 80,000 women mass-raped. Civilians beheaded. babies were bayonneted & tossed into boiling water. Hamas style stuff.

300,000 exceeds the total dead in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Give the US a break. Give Israel a break.

When the allies won they did not humiliate Japanese civilians. We rebuilt Japan and made them a partner in peace and capitalism. Hiroshima/Nagasaki were not a genocide. Context matters.

Very cool Sir Peter.

Libertarian economist John Cochran went to Tokyo last year, and he marveled at how safe and clean the city was. He then commented that some cities in the US need not be an apocalyptic nightmare.

Israel is one of the few countries in the world that wouldn’t commit genocide.

The actual, real, intention of Hamas is the genocide of the Jewish people that’s the goal of Hamas and not of those in power in the State of Israel regarding the “Palestine” people.

About innocent those children who died in Gaza because the jihadists Hamas hiding among places with children. Also this current war that Hamas started this with Israel on October 7th when it launched its brutal vicious and murderous and even vile and heinous jihadist attacks on the peaceful Jewish citizens of the State of Israel.

Those innocent children who died in Gaza because of Israel’s air force was not the intention of the government and military officials of Israel.

Those youngster who had been killed had died because those despicable jihadists of Hamas, because they are so very callous and cruel that they deliberately stationed their jihad strategy command and weapon centers at buildings that have children in and around those places.

Therefore the bloodguilt for the death of those children of Gaza on the wicked hands of the Hamas jihadists.

In the newspaper The Epoch Times April 3-6, 2024, A14 the reader in informed about “Civilian Casualties.” For it reads, “Israel risks the lives of its soldiers to prevent civilians deaths. Hamas risks the lives of civilians to prevent terrorist’s death. Israel considers it a failure, and Hamas considers it a globally advantageous when civilians die than its soldiers.”

The contrast between Israel and Hamas is vast and outstanding.

A very old observation- “Israel uses its weapons to protect its people. Hamas uses its people to protect its weapons “.
