As Orwell warned us, fascists take a term or fact and use it to mean the exact opposite.
Canaanites who adopted Judaism moved into the area now known as
Israel and Judah (which literally means "Land Of The Jews"). Later, Philistines, Aegean fishers, inhabited the area now known as Gaza. Colonizers and Oppressors attacked
Israel/Judah, and Philistia. Historians, with the aid of genetic scientists, indicate Philistines they ceased to exist as a distinct group ~5th Century BC. Unlike their enemies in Philistia,
Israel/Judah resisted and persisted. So, the Colonizers and Oppressors renamed
Israel/Judah after their enemies. (Much like
Trump tried to rename Denali "Mt. McKinley" again.) Thus, the region of Palestine was born -- much the way the US region of "The South" was born, on Cherokee land.
After WWII, antisemitic UK Colonizers and Oppressors reluctantly gave much of
Israel back to Israel, but gave two parts of Israel to others in exchange for
peace neighbors gave. Time and again, Israel resisted and persisted.
A Free "Palestine" elected Hamas. Taking advantage of rising worldwide fascism, Hamas broke a ceasefire to attack a music festival and commit numerous Crimes Against Humanity. These crimes continue every day that Hamas holds hostages. Yet, anything Israel does to bring back its
people and bring the
War Criminals to justice is labeled as "Palestinian Genocide."
"Did you hear about that 12 year old girl in
France who was gang-raped for being Jewish?"
"Damn that Palestinian Genocide! I'm glad Rashida Tlaib doesn't condemn rape!"
"Oh, Hamas used the pipes it was given for
water infrastructure to make a rocket, which Hamas fired at Israeli civilian centers, only Hamas' rocket fell inside Gaza? That's a 'Palestinian Genocide,"'and not by Hamas, but by the INTENDED VICTIMS in
Israel!"
