Is Israel committing genocide, or is the entire narrative built on falsehoods?
Host Aylana Meisel, executive director of the Israel Law & Liberty Forum, sits down with Professor Danny Orbach, renowned military historian and co-author of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies report, “Debunking the Genocide Allegations.” Together, they unpack one of the most pressing legal and moral questions facing Israel: Are the allegations of genocide in Gaza based on real evidence or manipulated data, ideological bias and flawed methodology?
This conversation explores:
- How claims of mass starvation and famine in Gaza have been distorted through biased data sampling and unscientific U.N. reports.
- The myth of 500,000 Iraqi children dying from sanctions and how this falsehood shaped global narratives, including those now weaponized against Israel.
- Why casualty counts from Hamas-controlled sources cannot be taken at face value and how the lack of verified breakdowns feeds misinformation.
- Israel’s use of smart bombs, AI targeting and legal military restraint versus the global media’s claims of indiscriminate bombing.
- The complex reality of urban warfare in Gaza and Hamas’s strategy of embedding military assets in civilian areas to provoke civilian deaths.
