NOT A Genocide: Jonah Platt's Definitive Takedown of the World's
Favorite Anti-Jew, Anti-Israel Lie (Modi Rosenfeld Episode)
Everything they told you about Israel is a lie.
No, seriously.
By the end of this video, you'll be clear on what the core anti-Zionist libels are,
how they work, and why they're bullshit.
Let's do this.
Welcome to part two of me, deconstructing anti-Zionist Libels.
If you missed part one, you'll find the link in the episode description.
I suggest you check that one out first, then come on back.
But what do I know?
I just work here.
Last week I left you on a bigger cliffhanger than Sylvester Stallone.
We already covered three major Libels Apartheid, white European
colonizer, and baby killer, and now we're down to the big libel.
A liable, so big, so pervasive, so perverse, and so destructive.
It gets a monologue all to itself.
This libel is the number one excuse people give as to why it's entirely
appropriate to treat Jews like crap at any time in any circumstance and feel
good about themselves while doing it.
I'm speaking of course of genocide, as in that's what you get when you commit
genocide, or have you tried not supporting genocide or you're complicit in genocide,
or you can't represent me in politics if you can't call it a genocide, or, I'm
not anti Jew, I'm just anti genocide.
It is far and away the most commonly used, most successful weapon
anti-Zionists have in their gleeful arsenal to exclude and remove Jews
from society and Israel, the Jew of countries from the Society of Nations.
Genocide is a term literally invented to describe what happened when 6
million Jews were systematically exterminated from the earth.
How's that for inversion?
That genocide was of course, perpetrated by the Nazis and their eager collaborators
all over Europe, as well as the highest ranking Muslim official in Palestine.
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who lived in Berlin recruited Muslims to the Nazi
cause and whose role in executing the final solution was described during the
Nuremberg trials as not insignificant.
How's that for inversion?
I'm gonna get into the nitty gritty, but let's do the common sense version first.
Why does anyone who thinks the Gaza War is a genocide?
Think it's a genocide because someone told them it was.
That's it.
Hearsay from supposedly reputable sources, not by analyzing evidence
against the legal definition of the term.
Someone or many someones simply told them it was a genocide, and they said, okay.
How do I know it's not a genocide?
The opposite from the evidence, the actions, and weighing those
against the words definition.
In many ways, the dichotomy is as simple as that.
Who did they hear it from?
The closed loop of anti-Zionist genocide, libel, spreaders, anti-Israel fae,
progressive social media accounts, podcasters, legacy news media, cable
news pundits, pro terrorist, Arab media, UN officials, academics, human rights
organizations, tokenized anti-Zionist, Jews and Hollywood celebrities.
Here's how the Loop works.
How the Anti-Zionist Information Loop Works
Hamas backed by Iran, Qatar, and other interested regional parties,
manufactures and introduces a lie.
Your former friend who now accuses you of supporting Genocide first heard
the lie, confirmed from her friends in pottery class who heard it from their.
Teacher who saw it on a random movie, actor's Instagram, who heard it on
a podcast that cited a TikTok video that cited a Jewish anti-Zionist
group who cited a group of genocide experts who cited a UN report, which
cited an Amnesty International report, which cited a different UN report,
which cited A BBC report, which cited rah, which cited the Gaza Ministry of
Health, AKA Hamas rinse and repeat.
If it sounds ridiculous, it's because it is.
Remember the Jeremiah effect folks, successful mass manipulation looks like
masses of people being manipulated while you look on from a distance In dismay.
Every party in the loop deserves their own debunking monologue.
But for now, I'll give you some quick facts about a few.
Let's look at human rights orgs like Amnesty International First,
Amnesty's Middle East Twitter account.
Their secretary general account, and UK Campaigns managers account tweeted a
combined 214 times about the Warren Gaza.
87% of these were about Israeli wrongdoing or Palestinian suffering.
The number of tweets calling for the release of the Israeli hostages was three.
The number condemning Hamas for war crimes.
One.
Exposing Global Organizations: Amnesty & the UN
Neither the amnesty main account nor Mena account posted a single
tweet exclusively focused on Israeli victims or an unqualified condemnation
of the October 7th massacre.
Human rights, more like anyone but human rights.
Am I right?
Anybody?
How about the un?
The organization who's under Secretary General for humanitarian affairs
said Hamas is not a terrorist group whose General Assembly levied 17
resolutions against Israel in 2024 and only seven against every other
country in the world combined.
The organization who pushed out their own special advisor on the
prevention of genocide for refusing to call the war a genocide.
That's the un.
How about experts like the International Association of Genocide Scholars?
Well, turns out anyone can join the International Association of Genocide
Scholars for $30, which many people did, including Cookie Monster,
emperor Palpatine, and this dog.
Oh, and the studies the association cited in their genocide resolution
written by, you guessed it, human rights organizations like Amnesty International
and selem, the token Jewish anti-Zionist organization, both of whom literally
redefined the term genocide, sidestepping its established legal definition in
order to find Israel guilty of it.
Look this up.
But SM literally used a quote, broader analytical framework
than the legal definition.
Hey, at least the Jewish libel spreaders admitted it.
And don't even get me started on ignorant American leftists citing Al Jazeera, a
Qatari backed terrorist news platform.
So obvious in its extremist propaganda that it has been banned for inciting
violence in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, UAE, Bahrain, and the West Bank.
Too extreme for the Palestinian Authority, just right for your yoga instructor.
That is far from a comprehensive overview, but let's now turn to Israel.
Common Sense: Why Israel’s Actions Disprove Genocide
As I said, Israel's innocent of genocide, not because I want them to be, but because
they didn't do the things that one has to do in order to be guilty of genocide.
It's an incredibly high legal bar, and for good reason
because the crime is so serious.
Let's go common sense first again, and then I'll get technical.
You don't completely sabotage your own element of surprise by warning
civilians of your approach with millions of leaflets, individual
texts, telephone calls, roof knocks, and interrupted TV broadcasts because
you're trying to commit genocide.
You don't move on foot building to building room to room, risking
IDs, snipers, booby traps and gunfire to your own precious
young men and women for two years.
Because you're attempting a genocide, you don't coordinate access to hundreds of
thousands of polio vaccines for children when you're attempting to genocide them.
You don't provide humanitarian corridors, millions of tons of aid
or negotiate ceasefire agreements.
When you're attempting a genocide, you certainly don't negotiate
ceasefire agreements when you're the victim of a genocide.
You know what the Jewish birth rate was during the Holocaust?
Zero.
Statistically zero births.
Why?
Because in a genocide, pregnant women and babies are slaughtered.
And there isn't exactly privacy to get it on when you're hiding under
a staircase or sharing a room with 20 sick people in a ghetto, or being
gased to death in a mobile killing van, pumped full of carbon monoxide.
Do you know what the estimated birth rate in Gaza was in early 2025 during
the height of the supposed genocide?
130 babies every day.
Lower than usual, sure, but not zero.
Lower means war.
Zero means genocide.
About the highest estimate you'll find for the death toll in Gaza
The Math of War vs. The Math of Genocide
is somewhere around a hundred K.
That's the highest, even beyond what Hamas itself has reported, let's say it's true.
Then let's subtract natural deaths, which according to pre-war rates,
would be around 16 K over two years.
So now we're at 80 4K.
Then let's also subtract terrorist deaths, which at their absolute
most conservative estimate is around 15% of the civilian count.
So 12,600, which one Subtracted?
Gets us to 71,400.
Still a higher number than even Hamas' count.
A horrible and sickening number that should never have
happened, but stay with me.
Its estimated Israel dropped 70,000 metric tons of bombs on Gaza, which means
that for a military supposedly engaged in a strategy of human elimination in
a densely packed urban territory, whose leaders denied civilians access to
underground shelters and whose neighbor, Egypt denied sanctuary for refugees.
For every 2,200 pounds of bombs, Israel dropped.
Roughly one civilian was killed.
2200 pounds of bombs, one death take the players out of it.
Is that what a genocide perpetrated by the most precise military
in the world would look like?
Now let's get into the legal jargon.
Legal Jargon: The 1948 Genocide Convention Refined
The 1948 Genocide Convention convened of course, after the genocide of the Jews
established genocide as intent to destroy in whole or impart a national ethnical,
racial or religious group through one of five specific acts, killing members
of the group causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting
conditions of life to bring about physical destruction, imposing measures to prevent
births or forcibly transferring children.
This is what most anti-Zionists who think they have a grasp
of genocide law will cite.
What they don't tell you on TikTok is that this definition has been refined through
decades of cases at the International Court of Justice, because as you might
have surmised, that definition is super broad and basically encompasses anything.
The anti-Israel argument you'll hear the most is how the legal
definition requires only that up.
Population be targeted in part which to the anti-Zionist means that any
amount of GA and deaths constitutes genocide if the intent is there
and they'll point to that closed information loop or violent rhetoric
from some rabid Israeli government official as proof of that intent.
This explanation ignores what is known as the only reasonable inference standard
for the intent to be proven as genocide.
It must be the only reasonable explanation.
It cannot be a reasonable explanation.
It must be the only explanation.
Call me crazy, but having your sovereign territory invaded 250 of your citizens
kidnapped and 1200 of them murdered in the worst massacre of Jews since
the Holocaust, seems to me like a decently plausible reason why the
Israeli military might have stepped foot in Gaza at that particular time.
After 20 years of disengagement, it also sounds like an actual attempted genocide,
which brings our inversion count to three.
The second important idea to grasp is that it's not enough to
The Substantial Part: 40% vs. Less than 1
target just a part of the group.
It must be a substantial part.
Again, that makes sense.
During the Holocaust, 40% of all Jews on Earth were annihilated.
During the Rwandan genocide, 70% of all tootsies were slaughtered.
In just a hundred days during the Armenian genocide, roughly 55%
of all Armenians were murdered.
During the Gaza War, according to the high numbers we used earlier, the civilian
death toll is around 2% of the population of Gaza, or about 0.5% of all Palestinians
on Earth, 40%, 70%, 55% less than 1%.
I wouldn't qualify that as substantial unless we're changing
the definition of that word too.
Courts have also determined that it is not in fact enough to create conditions
that could lead to a group's destruction.
It must be the sole intent of the creation of those conditions.
So while Israel absolutely bungled a lot of how they handled the aid situation,
the fact that they also delivered more aid to an enemy during wartime than
any military ever, and the legitimacy of their goal in trying to stop Hamas
from stealing and selling aid, certainly disqualifies any notion of soul intent.
The specific way in which the word genocide is weaponized against Jews also
reveals its true motive to punish and other Jews for the crime of being Jews.
Any display of Jew hate at any time, at any level is justified because
genocide and because you random Jewish person committed it by proxy.
Unless you have publicly excised from your Jewish identity, the completely
natural connection to the world's only Jewish state where the majority of Jews
live around which our calendar, holidays, customs, and liturgy revolve and is the
only place on earth to which Jews are indigenous and collectively connected.
Collective Guilt and the Indigenous Connection to Israel
You committed genocide.
This collective guilt for a crime against humanity that didn't even occur, does
not exist for any other people on earth.
Even those who did commit genocide.
It is an entirely disingenuous framing that cannot withstand even
the slightest bit of moral scrutiny.
Jews are not responsible for the actions of the Israeli government,
whether real or imaginary, any more than the Western bigots leveling
These accusations are responsible for the actions of their governments.
It's all one big hypocritical shit sandwich.
And lastly, let's address the ongoing genocide claim.
You got some folks who claim genocide, Hass been occurring for decades.
Some who claimed it began the day after October 7th.
Some who claimed it at other various points throughout the
war, and others who claim it still despite the war's official end.
This discrepancy alone speaks to the illegitimacy of the claim.
You cannot name another genocide in history with no clear
starting point or end point.
Rwanda, the Holocaust, Armenia, Bosnia, Rinka, Cambodia, even
slow burners like Darfur.
These all have some kind of temporal boundaries, not Israel.
Why?
Because it's a liable, a purposeful distortion of an ongoing conflict
between two parties punctuated by acute moments of warfare.
As for ongoing.
According to Hamas' numbers, around 500 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli
strikes over the past several months.
Since the October ceasefire, that number would equate to an average
of about four deaths per week.
If four deaths a week is an ongoing genocide, how can
the word have any meaning?
Any number of people dying over any length of time is unequivocally not
what genocide is meant to define.
This is also part of why the libel is so successful because
it is macabre to discuss death counts as a means of defense.
The Worst Inversion: How Westerners Provide Narrative Cover
You cannot possibly be seen as compassionate or innocent while talking
about death counts to someone who already thinks you support genocide.
Being the person who says, actually only half that many civilians died isn't
gonna convince anyone you don't support genocide and isn't gonna win anybody over.
Because remember, the real goal is just two other Jews and a person who sounds
as if they're defending innocent people.
Dying is easy to excommunicate, and you know what really sucks?
These self-righteous, uninformed people who bury their heads in the sand about
the reality of this horrific situation are the ones actually directly complicit in
the deaths of the Palestinian civilians they pretend to care about by buying the
Hamas propaganda and aiming their fury instead at the Jews, they enable jihadist
terrorists to continue terrorizing Palestinians and Israelis alike, ensuring
that innocent people will continue to die.
Justice civilians provide the physical cover.
Westerners provide the narrative cover that allows Hamas to continue
its campaign of death in the region.
That's the worst inversion of all y'all.
I know this shit is tiring.
Imagine how long this took me to write.
That's the bullshit asymmetry principle.
They toss out a single word.
I have to write 3000 just to disprove it.
Do I think any of the people who most need to hear this will No.
Do I think it would make a difference if they did?
Probably not, but I hope that for those of you who've had doubts, those of you
surrounded by that closed information loop or connected to people inside it, that
this will have laid your doubts to rest.
So what can we do about it?
Fight back.
They have terrorist propaganda on their side.
We have truth.
They've never even had to argue the point because everyone around
them affirms them in their belief without considering it critically.
They don't even realize their entire point of view is based solely on stuff
someone else told them secondhand.
They've never tried to corroborate it or had to prove it.
So make them based on evidence, based on case law, not based
on something someone else said.
At the very least, take courage from this mega monologue and don't be
afraid to tell them they're wrong and that no amount of libel is
gonna change, that they're ignorant, they've been manipulated, not you.
You've got this thing right.
So as crappy as Libels feel, you can at least feel good about that.
