Now an ugly parallel dynamic has arisen in the form of Gaza genocide denial. Now, these Judeo-MAGA tendencies are alienating millions of Jews away from Israel and Zionism, with genocide in Gaza and pogroms in the West Bank. It erases essential moral and legal distinctions, diminishes the meaning of genocide, and inflames hatred for the local Jewish community.” Pointing out Israel’s genocidal acts in Gaza does NOT diminish the dramatic meaning of this word, nor is it misapplied. That characterization came from Prof. Omer Bartov, a Holocaust and genocide scholar at Brown University.
