  • The ongoing war and genocide in Gaza is unprecedented. Nothing that Israel and its supporters can say or do will avoid the historical accountability of the extermination of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

The article titled "The Tectonic Shift: The Gaza Genocide and the Limits of Israeli Hasbara" discusses the significant changes in global perceptions and reactions to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. It highlights how the narrative around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is shifting, particularly due to the intense military actions in Gaza, which some label as genocidal. The piece critiques the effectiveness of Israel's public diplomacy or "hasbara," which has traditionally aimed to justify its military actions and policies. However, with the advent of social media and real-time reporting, the control over narrative has weakened, allowing for more unfiltered views of the conflict to reach a global audience. This has led to increased international criticism of Israel, with movements like BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) gaining traction, and even allies like the United States showing signs of reevaluating their stance. The article suggests that this shift indicates a broader, tectonic change in how the conflict is understood and discussed worldwide, challenging the long-standing narratives and propaganda efforts by Israel.
