t”>The charge of genocide —unleashed precisely when Israel embarks on major operations or is about to achieve a breakthrough — has been central to anti-Israel propaganda strategies for decades. Psychologically, it taps into the deep-seated collective memory of the blood libel leveled against Jews for centuries. Strategically, it’s a rhetorical weapon deployed at critical moments to stall Israel’s progress.
The long-term use of the genocide charge is what helped it gain such immediate traction after Oct 7 — and its constant repetition today ensures it will stick even faster the next time Israel is attacked and forced to defend itself. Because make no mistake about it: there will be a next time.
