Genocide in Gaza is a lie worthy of Goebbels

Jonah Goldberg, syndicated

Transcribed from the clipping

“‘Genocide’ is a loaded political term, but under any remotely reasonable definition, shouldn’t those numbers be going the other way?” And: “If the Israelis are, or have ever been, interested in genocide, they are utterly incompetent at it.”

Context added by this archive
