Fox News Discovers 'Genocide' Only Vexing When Israel Is Accused
Fox News reports the family of Raphael Lemkin, the man who coined 'genocide,' are fighting an institute using his name to accuse Israel of war crimes. This public relations maneuver conveniently sidesteps the actual substance of the accusations leveled by the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, which point to verifiable actions by the Netanyahu government. One might observe the timing of
this public family dispute, which coincidentally amplifies narratives dismissing calls for accountability. The concern, it seems, isn't about protecting the moral weight of 'genocide' itself, but about controlling who gets accused of it, ensuring certain allies remain insulated from inconvenient truths. Apparently, the spirit of Lemkin's original intent only applies selectively.
