We hear it always from the left, and it is certainly one of their large speaking factors this election season: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
But they by no means appear to consider the logic of what they’re saying, and why that is full poppycock. After all, as a result of like all the things else with the left, it is not about whether or not there’s any logic or actuality to the newest “outrage” they’re protesting – it is all the time and solely about transferring issues additional to the left.

Stephens identified how Israel was a nuclear energy, with which they may merely wipe everybody out. In the event that they have been making an attempt to commit genocide, why did they distribute polio vaccines, why do they distribute meals, why do they drop leaflets warning folks to get out of an space when they’ll tackle Hamas there?
Stephens drew the comparability to different wars, and the way different wars weren’t handled in the identical method as Israel’s warfare in response to being attacked on October 7 has been. Hamas killed greater than 1,000 folks, raped folks, then took greater than 200 hostages. It was a brutal assault. It is one factor to speak about whether or not a tactic or motion is justifiable or may be extreme in response. However equating it with “genocide,” i.e., the focused effort to wipe out a folks, is nonsensical. A warfare is not “genocide” as a result of folks die; in any other case, each warfare is a genocide.
Then there’s the comparability to what Iran did to its protesters in January, massacring someplace between 10,000 and 40,000 folks. The regime killed these folks intentionally to terrorize the inhabitants, to cease them from elevating their voices. The place are the calls of “genocide” over that? Examine that to civilians in Gaza being killed unintentionally in a warfare (when Hamas can also be utilizing them as human shields). But who’s the left popping out to protest? Trace: it is not Iran. Democrats do not appear to present a rip about these hundreds of individuals, when there wasn’t even an excuse of a “scorching warfare” at that time. The Iranians have continued to execute folks, and you do not hear a peep from the left.
Stephens factors out how we give cash to Turkey, regardless of Turkey occupying Cyprus, but the left would not appear to have an issue with that. After all, it is not in regards to the information on the subject of the left. It by no means is. On this case, it is also feeding their anti-Israel bent. In the event that they cared in regards to the folks in Gaza, they need to care about how Hamas oppresses them. However they do not.
