Letter to the Editor: By George, Boy George Gets It -- No Genocide in Gaza


T

here is no genocide in Gaza. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize this.

However, as David Suissa wisely (because so simply) points out, it does take a genius to market the truth effectively to overcome the repeated propaganda of the pro-genocide Gaza Palestinian cult.
It certainly helps that major figures in entertainment tell the truth, who for all intents and purposes have no skin in the game or specific care about the outcome of the war.
At this point in the social media sphere, culture wars can cancel a celebrity’s career.
Yet Culture Club’s own George O’Dowd dares to tell it like it is.
There is no genocide in Gaza. It’s a shame and a travesty for anyone to claim otherwise.
“You say genocide. I say war.”
Then the song continues:
“Does it get ugly? You bet it does.”
By George, Boy George gets it.
For those who still don’t understand, of course there’s no genocide in Gaza. Israeli forces allowed Gaza's children to receive aid, to leave Gaza to receive care in Israel as well as Italy.
The IDF leaflets civilian areas in Gaza, warning that they will strike the region to take out Hamas terrorists, strikes which are determined after extensive analysis.
Israel could have dropped a nuclear bomb and wiped out Hamas (and everyone else).
It’s war—and even civilians die. When it comes to the evils of armed conflict, I remember this quote from Union General William Tecumseh Sherman, when he was describing the horrors of the American Civil War:
“War is hell … War is cruelty.”
Finally, Sherman added that the only way anyone can stop war, once the other side has started it: you make it so cruel that the other side never initiates war again.
