Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed well over 100,000 people, yet no major human rights organization calls it genocide. Why? Because genocide is about intent: a project to eradicate a people. After Japan surrendered, America occupied it, helped rebuild it, and by 1952, it was an ally.
Compare that to Gaza, where “genocide” is now used freely.
Israel has not committed genocide in Gaza. Facilitating the transfer of food, humanitarian aid, and vaccinations is undeniable proof of that.
Changing the definition of genocide to mean “a lot of death in war” dishonors victims of actual genocides and erases the truth about the war against Hamas.

For years, the @UN said Gaza was starving, and Israel was singularly to blame.
In 2023, it warned of mass starvation.
In 2024, famine was “imminent.”
By 2025, the UN-backed IPC said famine was happening.
Now, new UN data shows acute malnutrition across Gaza at 0.2% to 0.8%, comparable to or below pre-war levels, and lower than neighboring Arab countries like Egypt and Jordan.
Those famine claims were used to accuse Israel of deliberately starving civilians, despite questionable methodology, shifting thresholds, and data that did not support the claims.
Which raises the question: if there was never a famine in Gaza, why was the UN so invested in falsifying one?
