The “Gaza genocide” calumny has become the Left’s equivalent of the “stolen election” hoax on the American Right—a baseless accusation that signals ideological allegiance precisely because it defies logic and evidence, writes @mboudry. https://quillette.com/2025/10/...
@Quillette @mboudry I just like "'stolen election' hoax on the American Right"
@Quillette @AronFlam @mboudry Gathering behind something that defies of logic and evidence, is the new guiding star. In the absence of a true guiding star.
@Quillette @mboudry There is even less merit to the genocide slur than there is to the stolen election accusation.
@Quillette @mboudry Difference is that here Jews are being attacked killed ostracized. So it is not the same
@Quillette @mboudry Liar : «the overwhelming majority of casualties are male and of fighting age, which is inconsistent with a policy of indiscriminate killing» a leak of classified data from the Israeli army (IDF), revealed in August 2025 by several media outlets. According to this information
@Quillette @mboudry Or just yet another leftist hoax like the systemic racism charges flung after the deaths of Michael Brown and George Floyd.
@Quillette @mboudry There was a stolen election though... (in the other side) https://x.com/destinationXIX/s...
@Quillette @mboudry Quillette: The Weekly Standard of the ‘20s
@Quillette @mboudry Lies.
@Quillette @mboudry The "Genocide" 🤪 https://www.worldometers.info/...
@Quillette @mboudry "Betrayal of the Enlightenment" in full display. Beside being an expert in himself, I have no idea what this man is doing. He is not even able to interpret an easy graph.
@Quillette @mboudry Do the same as in the US: let courts decide. Not journalists or activists on either side. Nor political scientists.
@Quillette @mboudry @grok are charges of genocide against Israel baseless accusations that have no basis in evidence, UN reports, Amnesty International reports, Israel human rights organizations reports, the assessment of scholars, and other actual evidence? Just answer yes or no. No commentary.
@Quillette @mboudry This is a really short-sighted take.
@Quillette @jonkay @mboudry Calling the 2020 election 'stolen' is about as far from baseless as you can get
@Quillette @mboudry Except the ICC and internationally recognized genocide councils have said there is evidence of Israel committing a genocide in Gaza.
@Quillette @mboudry I realize there’s an element of unfalsifiability here but it’s still satisfying that all the comments insisting that it IS a genocide are only further proving its point
@Quillette @mboudry OK I just read the deck I ain’t gonna read the article but come on, of course they believe it themselves
@Quillette @mboudry “Baseless”
@Quillette @mboudry It needs to be a genocide so they have a rhetorical equivalent to the Holocaust to use against Jews everywhere. It can’t just be an evil regime committing war crimes. It has to be a genocide. Evidence be damned
@Quillette @mboudry May your Nazi rag fail for all eternity. You scum got famous off race-science and now you need more donations so you're going to do atrocity apologia. Hell is too good for every sick soul involved with this hateful rag.
@Quillette @mboudry So you have joined the maga right in trashing institutions like the United Nations. You can no longer call yourself a liberal publication. No different to Nazi holocaust denial
@Quillette @mboudry trembling false equivelancy
@Quillette @mboudry Well put
@Quillette @mboudry Who do I believe? Quillettevm's armchair journalistsnor people who actually know something about Gaza?
@Quillette @mboudry Quillette are still faithful to their race pseudoscience and intellectually fraudulent origins, they're just doing it more with Arabs these days so they can gain respect in the US establishment-approved mainstream
@Quillette @mboudry This is such a brilliant analogy.
@Quillette @mboudry We're reaching levels of "both sides" we didn't think possible
@Quillette @mboudry Why is my feed now filled with genocide denial and zionists? Is Musk messing with the algorithm again?
@Quillette @mboudry Is it standard practice by @Quillette to publish articles full with errors and disregard of established legal facts? Seems like any ignorant can write for @Quillette, is this correct? If not, if there is absolutely no standard threshold, how did this article pass? 🤷🏽♂️
@Quillette @mboudry Still promoting this article despite the debunking of its data? https://x.com/adarweinreb/stat...
@Quillette @mboudry lsrаeli officials literally announced genосide. And then proceeded executing the plan.
@Quillette @mboudry Remember when Quillette was not an arm of the Israeli gvovernment.
@Quillette @mboudry Not a single Democrat, Reagan, Bush or even Trump appointed judge agreed the election was stolen whereas even Israeli holocaust scholars are reluctantly admitting that it's probably a genocide
