The word “genocide” is being used purely to sway public opinion; it does not reflect reality

For months, left-wing British television stations and corporate media outlets have been propagating the story that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza since Hamas terrorists attacked Israel on 7 October 2023. 

Despite the vast majority of us becoming aware that corporate media is used to run psychological operations such as covid or climate change and that corporate media cannot be blindly trusted, when it comes to Gaza, people seem to have fallen for it without thinking or questioning.  Many think they are following “independent” sources, but if those sources are repeatedly mirroring, for example, the BBC or Channel 4, then they are not independent but extensions of it.

In the following, Oliver Melnick explains why it is inappropriate to use the word “genocide” regarding Gaza and how the political left is also weaponising concepts such as “neo-Nazi” and “neo-Holocaust agenda” to shape public opinion.

Although Melnick doesn’t touch on the psychological ill effects of misusing words to manipulate the public, we should bear in mind that psychological operations can have significant psychological impacts on people and groups subjected to them.  These operations can cause mental distress and traumatic stress, similar to the effects of physical torture.  For those who do not protect their minds and are sensitive to psychological trauma, such operations can lead to conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) and depression.

Additionally, repeated misuse of a word downplays its meaning.  For example, when a real genocide occurs, the public will dismiss it and the genocide will largely go unnoticed.  Perhaps this is the Globalists’ plan. For example, with accusations of vaccine genocide taking place worldwide, no one will give it a second thought and the perpetrators will be able to simply walk away unnoticed.

  The Left Doesn’t Care About ‘Genocide,’ They’re Only Interested In How The Word Sways Public Opinion

  By Olivier Melnick as published by Harbinger’s Daily

  For reasons that upset me more than they escape me, many liberal thinkers and neo-democrats are trying hard to describe some of the events taking place in Gaza under Benjamin Netanyahu and in America under newly re-elected President Trump as Nazi-influenced. The Holocaust and the Death Camps are being mentioned regularly, not in an attempt to deny their existence–a positive in and of itself–but to compare current events to the most horrific genocide in the history of mankind. This has to stop!

  Israel has been repeatedly accused of committing genocide in Gaza. Within a week or less after October 7, 2023, soon after the world initially expressed concern and sadness about the Hamas invasion of southern Israel, the narrative started to change, and it shifted very quickly toward accusing Israel of killing innocent Palestinians at a genocidal level.

  Nobody agrees on what constitutes genocide by numbers. Some will argue that 25% or more of a people group has to be destroyed to constitute genocide, but it is unclear., The UN Genocide Convention states:“any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

  (a) Killing members of the group;
  (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”

  In other words, numbers are not necessarily taken into consideration, but the keyword here is intent. In the case of Israel, if numbers were taken into consideration, the 25% death toll would not be reached by a long shot. Measured by intent, Israel is even in a better place as the Jewish state has gone above and beyond to protect and save lives. Israel’s moves against Hamas or other terrorists go against conventional warfare in so many ways. The IDF always warns civilians of impending attacks on buildings or neighbourhoods with ample time for people to vacate. It is Hamas that keeps people in. Who is committing genocide now?

  But it is not just Israel; America under Trump is also accused of all kinds of ills connecting President Trump and his administration to a neo-Nazi methodology and a neo-Holocaust agenda. Before anyone attempts to describe contemporary decisions, events, and executive orders as Nazi or Holocaust-related, please see if these events include any of the following criteria:

  • Forced labour
  • Starvation
  • Electrified fences
  • Beatings
  • Torture
  • Random Shootings
  • Tattooed identification number
  • No bathrooms
  • Firing squads
  • Diseases
  • No doctors

  And that is only a few of the elements you would find in Nazi concentration camps. These camps were designed to corral Jews in large numbers and create a war, forced-labour contingency. The work conditions and lack of food and hygiene were such that they quickly became death camps, and that is even before the full implementation of the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” with the running of places like Auschwitz-Birkenau. When the death camps were implemented, you could add these to the list:

  • Mass shooting in Jewish-dug communal graves
  • Gas chambers
  • Crematoria
  • Gruesome experiments on inmates, including babies and pregnant women
  • Collecting gold teeth from cadavers
  • Long death marches in the snow

  Yet, one of the most obvious differences between the Nazi Death Camps and ICE’s detention centres or illegal alien expulsion is how people got inside the camps. During the Holocaust years, the Nazi war machine was systematically rounding-up Jews outside of Germany, all over Europe through the railway system. They [the Nazis] went out of their way to gather Jews, put them on trains and send them to the camps. Let me repeat myself…the people were hunted down to be put in forced labour camps and later in death camps…They were not sent back to their countries of origin; THEY WERE HUNTED DOWN and brought back to their inevitable deaths. In that sense, the Holocaust was unique.

  In the case of today’s mass deportations, illegals are not taken to their death but sent back to their place of origin. They are not starved, beaten, tortured, shot, tattooed or gassed. So, please STOP with the comparisons!

  When trying to compare any of what happens today to the Holocaust, it seems that the real hidden agenda is to get the uneducated masses to empathise with the “new victims,” ignoring historical truth. How ironic that the only event remotely comparable to the Holocaust on a much smaller scale–the Hamas Pogrom of October 7 in Israel–is completely ignored!

  1,200 people were murdered by Hamas, but Palestinians want the Jewish State to become free Palestine from the River to the Sea, in other words, 100% free of Jews. Now, that’s GENOCIDE, but unfortunately, it doesn’t fit the current narrative.
