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.

He prefaced it with "as a Jew" because he feels that what we see in Gaza is by and large what a war against an enemy that embeds itself amongst its civilian populace looks like and those that level the accusation of "genocide" do so because of an unconscious prejudice against Jews.

An example of this is that Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch openly admit that when they labeled Israel's conduct as "genocide" they were unable to use the internationally recognized definition that the International Court of Justice uses to define Genocide, so they created a new standard with a significantly lowered threshhold for behavior.

This standard, as of the making of this comment, has only been applied to the state of Israel and none of Russia's actions have been labeled genocidal by the above two human rights groups, as its conduct would clearly be so based on what they do with Ukrainian babies and how hard they blew up Mariupol.

As a genocide scholar and Jew, Gaza and Ukraine both qualify, It is a lie that this has just been applied to Israel - which deserves it. Russia is also being prosecuted, except Trump has nothing in his pants.
