"Today, the State of Israel, which went to war in self-defense following the mass massacres committed by Hamas on October 7, is accused of perpetrating genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza. There is no crime against humanity that the State of Israel has not been and is not being accused of. This is the new face of the ancient blood libels."
Why It’s Conflation
Genocide is a crime defined in law, and whether it’s happening in Gaza is argued in courts. The accusation may be wrong. Chikli didn’t argue that. He said making it at all is the old lie about Jews killing children.
What Actually Happened
Chikli's own description: Israel "is accused of perpetrating genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza."
