Scott Galloway lays out the numbers to Abdul El-Sayed. • The Holocaust killed 40% of Europe's Jews • Rwanda killed 70% of the Tutsis • Cambodia killed 1/3 of the entire country • In Gaza, it is 3% at most, alongside polio vaccines, 2,500 calories a day and leaflets warning civilians to leave El-Sayed doesn't dispute a single number. Instead, he says "we want to quibble about the words," and that the word genocide "should be used because it speaks to the moral imperative of action." Genocide is the word the world coined for the extermination of a people. It is the gravest charge there is. And El-Sayed's case for leveling it at the Jewish state isn't that it's true. It's that it helps him get what he wants.

You are a fuck moron. Most of the world's scholars agree that it's a genocide but just because you are a jew, you don't believe it's a genocide, I wonder why. I guess you need to higher percentage numbers before you call it one. Fucking jackass.

What is the value of scholarship?
Look, we all know that the Gaza genocide conspiracy theory is debunked nonsense. But some people aren’t aware. So here are four square infographics to share with your friends and enemies.

What an idiot, every child in Gaza would live in dignity when Hamas is destroyed, not by Israel, but by the loving and peaceful people of Gaza with the help of Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen, Iraq and Iran to name a few. These countries all care about the children of Gaza.

The Holocaust killed about 66% of Europe's Jews which was about 33% of the worldwide Jewish population at the time

The definition of genocide does not include a minimum death count in number or percentage of the group. 3,000 to 5,000 died in the Yazidi genocide, 0.8% to 1.3%. It was still a genocide.

So, you are saying there should be a percentage cutoff for ethnic killings to call it genocide? The word comes from Greek ā€œgenosā€ -race or tribe and ā€œcideā€ to kill. In Gaza est 2% of children, would you be OK with this at your local school?

What El-Sayed is saying is that Palestinian lives are worth more than Jews and everyone else. And what likely irks him the most is that these lesser people continue to survive. Total hasad.

Most of the scholars on Genocide, have termed the Genocide in Gaza as a Genocide. The entire world witnessed live streaming of Genocide. So Fcukkkk the Apartheid Terrorist Genocidal Pedophilia Regime of Israel and it's supporters! No need to school @AbdulElSayed please

It’s obvious El-sayed is obfuscating to get elected while not leaving a trail of clips that catch him out. Notice how he skated around saying America committed genocide in WWII. WWII was just sad. Doing so would be like calling for cancelling thanksgiving…

El-Sayad is basically admitting that accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza has nothing to do with what actually happened in Gaza. It is simply a way to morally smear the Jewish state by invoking a term that produces repulsion in most decent people. All you need do is keep repeating the Israel-Gaza-Genocide lie and eventually people will swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Heres the Genocide Convention fucko. The logic is to recognise and stop a genocide before it reaches its conclusion. Your percentage game is simply not relevant.

People would actually look into who coined the term "genocide" because it is so incredibly insulting that it gets thrown around like it's not a legal construct that was coined by Ralph Lemkin who was a Jewish lawyer who lost 50 of his family members in the Holocaust. There is like zero reflection of how disgusting it is to hear people throw around the concept of genocide like it's some TikTok trend with zero idea of what that sounds like to those of us who are truly aware of what that concept is intended to mean.

The debate needs to advance from the word "genocide" being used inaccurately or dishonestly. Those things make its misuse immoral and unethical. In a word, rotten. El-Sayed points out that inaccurately using the word "genocide" "speaks to the moral imperative of action." So it does. It's imperative to disempower anyone who does it.

This guy sounds ridiculous. He thinks we should evaluate what's happening in Gaza based on emotionally charged photographs rather than careful analysis of established criteria for determining whether a genocide is ongoing. Yes, let's just go with the staged photos of dead kids that turn out to be alive.

@profgalloway @AbdulElSayed Scott you’re saying 70,000 dead is ā€˜collateral damage’. Would you say the same if it was Jewish people instead of Palestinians? No, you’d be outraged as would I. No one should be exterminated and definitely not with our tax dollars.

The problem with ā€œgenocideā€ is that yes, it’s a poor argument, but it also lets Netanyahu off the hook way too easily. He doesn’t give a shit about Palestinian lives and yes, lots of innocent Palestinians have died. And yes, Netanyahu is a monster and a war criminal, as are several others in his government. But it doesn’t fit the definition of a ā€œgenocideā€, and all Jews are not complicit, any more than average Americans should be beaten up for what ICE is doing in our streets. It’s horribly wrong and Palestinian advocates are right to be enraged by it, but framing the argument poorly has a steeper cost than they realize.

Someone else could claim the Holocaust was not a genocide because unlike the Rwanda genocide less than 50% of Europe's Jews were killed? There's a reason why international laws on genocide aren't based on perverse and grotesque thresholds. Btw, those figures are criminally wrong.
