“To deny a genocide as obvious as the one in Gaza is proof of moral and intellectual bankruptcy. It is no coincidence that the arguments [Bret] Stephens musters in this bad cause are some of the flimsiest imaginable. He points to the official death toll and asks what he thinks is a very clever question: ‘Why isn’t the death count higher?’ For one thing, the death toll in Gaza is certainly far higher than the official count …. It is important to understand that the Israeli government can be committing the crime of genocide long before it has killed most of the people in Gaza. There is a common misconception that it can’t be genocide until the mass killing reaches a certain level. What matters is the intent to destroy in whole or in part the members of a group.” (07/23/25)
