The US is complicit in genocide. Let’s stop pretending otherwise | Mehdi Hasan

The US government, enabled by the media, is an active participant in Israel's atrocities in Gaza

Can we finally stop pretending that what we have been witnessing in Gaza over the past 22 months is a war," a conflict," or even a humanitarian crisis"? Many of the world's leading human rights and humanitarian groups - including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders - agreed months ago that what is being livestreamed to our phones on a daily basis is indeed a genocide.

This week, Israel's own leading human rights group announced that it had reached the unequivocal conclusion that Israel is taking coordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip". In other words, said B'Tselem, Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip".
