So now we’re supposed to take yet another “Israel is committing genocide” headline seriously because a handful of “scholars,” including Amos Goldberg and Raz Segal — whose entire careers are built on bashing Israel and dismantling the IHRA definition of antisemitism — say so?

Let’s be clear who we’re talking about. These are the same token Jews who signed the Jerusalem Declaration to water down antisemitism into a convenient, flexible buzzword. Their academic careers thrive on framing Israel as a settler-colonial project and casting the Jewish state as history’s villain.

These are not neutral arbiters of truth — they’re opportunistic activist-academics, operating from the far-left fringe, weaponizing the language of human rights to delegitimize the existence of the world’s only Jewish state. For fame. For ideological gain.

And while they scream “genocide” into every megaphone handed to them, here are the facts they ignore: No international court — not the ICC, not the ICJ — has classified Israel’s actions as Genocide. Not one.

The intent to destroy Palestinians as a people hasn’t been proven, because Israel targets Hamas, a terrorist regime embedding itself in civilian infrastructure, not Palestinians for being Palestinians.

And the math doesn’t lie: even if you take Hamas’s inflated casualty figures at face value, they amount to only about 1.7% of Gaza’s population. The vast majority of population shifts are due to displacement, not extermination. Under international law, Genocide implies the intentional destruction of a people, not a mere demographic dip. For context, the Holocaust led to a 63% population decrease, the Rwandan Genocide to 81%, the Armenian Genocide to 78%, and the Cambodian Genocide to 25%. Compare that to Gaza’s 1.7%, and the “genocide” narrative collapses under its own arithmetic. But none of that matters to these people — because this has never been about facts. It’s not about human rights. It’s not about saving lives. If it were, these so-called “moral authorities” would have been screaming about:

• 841 executions in Iran this year alone.

• Millions of Yemeni children are starving — thanks to Iran-backed Houthis. Assad’s slaughter of half a million Syrians.

• The Genocide in Darfur.

• The massacres of the Druze.

• The Genocide and displacement of the Yezidis.

Where were the marches? The hashtags? The outrage?

This was never about human rights. It’s about a narrative. It’s about pathologized hatred masked as scholarship. And these “activist-scholars” are nothing more than academic foot soldiers giving propaganda a PhD. Call it what it is: Pure wickedness served as scholarship.
