Israel's Own Leaders Admit They're Committing a Campaign of Genocide

Western media has spent endless hours fretting over chants, slogans, and words used by those who protest Israel's war crimes against Palestinians. Why not condemn Israeli leaders' genocidal words?

Sometimes in a debate, all you have to do is sit back quietly, smile, and let your opponent hang themselves with their own words. This is what happened on Monday when I was invited on Piers Morgan Uncensored to discuss the escalating casualties, war crimes, and horrors unleashed by Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

While Western media and establishment politics on both sides continue clutching their pearls over controversial chants by radical musicians or some pro-Palestinian activists, Israel’s leadership is openly endorsing genocide through their own words, policies, and actions. The Haaretz reported that the IDF was commanded to shoot at unarmed Palestinians who were gathered at a food aid distribution site. Nearly 60,000 Palestinians, overwhelmingly civilians, have been killed by Israel in the past year and a half. That number is most likely 40% higher, according to a study published in The Lancet Medical Journal. Israel has created more child amputees in Gaza than in any other place on Earth.

However, Senators Ted Cruz, Chuck Schumer, and Kirsten Gillibrand, who have all pledged unconditional support for Israel, are never asked to condemn these atrocities or explain why they still support this increasingly loathsome and criminal Israeli regime. Instead, the onus is always on those who stand up for the oppressed and occupied, as evidenced by the double standards against Zohran Mamdani.

Thankfully, I brought receipts.

I edited the 1-hour program to a few clips just so you can get a taste of the unhinged comments made by Israel’s Minister of Social Equality, which in itself is a hilarious title considering Israel’s apartheid conditions in the West Bank and continued occupation of Palestinians. I used my brief time to simply quote Israeli leaders.

Don’t believe me? Just listen to their own words.
