Gaza: Genocide, Holocaust Denial and Hasbara
The silence on the genocidal situation in Gaza is disturbing. How can we explain the double standard when we compare the -legitimate-indignation provoked by the Russian bombardment of Ukraine with the omerta surrounding the bombardment of the Palestinian civilian population under blockade ?
