Seth Leibsohn: Israel Must Press On

Home

We are seeing more and more condemnations of Israel—ostensibly for committing “genocide.” What a farce! War is, of course, inherently violent—but because it is violent and people get killed doesn’t make it genocide.

These condemnations come from those who’ve said nothing of what Syria has done to its Arab population—mowing down and chemically weaponizing tens of thousands to death, creating hundreds of thousands of refugees; nothing of China’s liquidation, concentration and re-education camps of millions of Uighurs. And I could go on and on.

Israel is fighting the most just war in this century and last, taking exquisite care not to kill women and children its enemy uses as war shields—which actually is a war crime that nobody seems to care about. And the enemy, let us not forget, attacked first, in a brutality reminiscent of Genghis Khan. Hamas—in their charter—calls for the violent elimination of all Jews.

Fighting this war is not genocide—it is just and it is justice.

Israel must press on and win.
