Editor,
I’m truly sick of people who claim Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. Either they don’t know what genocide is or they just want to discredit (and ultimately destroy) the only Jewish state in the world. Let’s remember that there are 56 Islamic states.
Bashar Assad and his minority Islamic Alawite regime survived 13 years of civil war with the assistance of Russia and Iran. That war resulted in more than 500,000 deaths committed in the most gruesome ways.
It also displaced half of Syria’s population. Almost 7 million Syrian refugees were forced to flee their ancestral homes. That entire conflict was a massive ongoing war crime that has gone entirely unpunished.
Double standards are bad enough, but when people insist on applying them only to Jews, it foreshadows another real genocide, the type that Hitler didn’t get away with.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Tuck. Folks claiming Israel has committed genocide is propaganda attempting to foster sympathy for Hamas. Unfortunately for them, those claims do the opposite and foster encouragement for Israel and Netanyahu to complete their mission to destroy Hamas. Hamas and their supporters made their bed so until Hamas releases all hostages and surrenders unconditionally, they can continue to lie in it.
I’d also like to remind folks that any death toll being reported is based on faulty information from the Gaza Health Ministry that is also propaganda and shouldn’t be taken seriously. For those interested in an analysis of the alleged death toll, please visit the following link and read their associated report: https://henryjacksonsociety.org/publications/questionable-counting/
