Gaza genocide denial

Efforts to deny that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians during the Gaza war include challenging the scale and intent of Israeli military actions, casting doubt on casualty statistics, reframing Israel's actions as lawful self-defense, and portraying critics as antisemitic or aligned with Hamas. Observers say that such rhetoric mirrors long-established patterns in other cases of genocide denial – most prominently the denial of the Armenian genocide – employing strategies of deflection, victim-blaming, moral inversion, and legalistic reinterpretation. As with other cases of genocide denial, it includes efforts to suppress information and criticism.

Besides being the position of the government of Israel, other states that deny the Gaza genocide include supporters of Israel such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany.
