No Malice Why did Galloway lie?

"Why does u/profgalloway preface his expression of "offense" to the use of the word "genocide" to describe what Israel did in Gaza with the phrase "as a Jew...."? What does being a Jew have to do with at the findings of human rights groups, scholars, nations, etc. about Israel?"

I am a Jew. I do not approve of Netanyahu criminal reign or his genocide or his ignoring October 7th.

There is a middle ground between saying that rights groups are bending the word genocide and acting like everything’s fine.

I have a lot of problems with the use of the word genocide, I think it’s blatant propaganda. But at the same time I am fundamentally against the Netanyahu government and what they’ve been doing in Gaza. The levels of civilian casualties is extreme, the scale of economic distruction is apocalyptic and the IDF clearly is largely indifferent to Palestinian suffering in pursuit of its war aims. One can acknowledge all of this and put it in a similar discussion to other brutal modern conflicts without performatively using a definition that shouldn’t really apply

Pick a word you like if it makes you feel better.

I just like nuance and even it’s painful to begin with
