Gaza genocide denial
Gaza genocide denial constitutes the efforts to deny that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians during the Gaza war. It includes challenging the scale and intent of Israeli military actions, casting doubt on casualty statistics, reframing Israel's actions as lawful self-defense, and portraying critics as antisemitic or aligned with Hamas. Observers say that such rhetoric mirrors long-established patterns in other cases of genocide denial – such as the denial of the Armenian genocide – employing strategies of deflection, victim-blaming, moral inversion, and legalistic reinterpretation. As with other cases of genocide denial, it includes efforts to suppress information and criticism. Besides being the position of the government of Israel, other states that reject the classification of Gaza as genocide include supporters of Israel such as the United States and Germany, as well as the United Kingdom.
