Nuclear Bomb Comparison, Not Genocide: Jared Kushner's Take on Gaza
Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Trump, recently visited Gaza and described the scene as if a nuclear bomb had hit it, yet he refrained from labeling it as genocide.
The destruction of the Gaza Strip by Israel, including continuous bombing since October 7, 2023, has been classified as genocide by the UN and genocide experts.
- Approximately 35 UN legal experts reported sufficient grounds to believe Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
- The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) passed a resolution in September 2025, declaring Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide.
- Amnesty International has also concluded similarly.
- South Africa has filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing it of committing genocide.
Israel's actions in Gaza have been widely condemned by international organizations and experts.
