The study demystizes the claims of the Gaza genocide against Israel in the Hamas War in progress

First on Fox: A new study disputes that Israel committed a genocide in Gaza after the massacre of Hamas October 7, 2023, arguing that the allegations of famine, blind bombing and deliberate civil killings lack verifiable evidence.
The report By researchers from the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies from Bar-Ilan University, “Debunking the Genocide allegations: a Resemination of the Israel-Hamas War” (2023-2025) argues that the story of the genocide was motivated by defective data, a non-critical source and a vulnerable humanitarian system to manipulation.
A key element of the accusations of the genocide is the assertion that Israel has deliberately set out the population of Gaza. The study argues that “famine allegations before March 2, 2025 were based on erroneous data, circular quotes and an inability to critically review the sources”. While United Nations officials and rights defending rights argued that 500 trucks per day were necessary to prevent famine, the United Nations pre-war figures show that Gaza was on average 292 per day in 2022, 73 of them carrying food.

“It was quite sufficient to meet the demand,” said the co-author of the report Danny Orbach, at Fox News Digital.
The study indicates that Israel has regularly exceeded the food supply necessary during the war, with an average of more than 100 trucks per day until March 2025. During a cease-fire contract, this number has climbed to around 600 per day.
“The idea that Hamas has not grasped help is absurd,” said Orbach. “In each conflict, armed groups take most of the humanitarian supplies. We have documents and testimonies proving that Hamas did.”
The report argues that the allegations of genocide spread by what Orbach called an “reverse information funnel”. Gaza journalists and humanitarian workers often depended on translators and fixers linked to Hamas, whose accounts filtered in United Nations reports, consumer media and online platforms.
“The average offerer sees dozens of reports on Israeli crimes and assumes that they must be true. But they all go back to a handful of sources affiliated in Hamas,” said Orbach.

The second factor is the “humanitarian bias” – the tendency to exaggerate the conditions for a promoted action. “Organizations warn against famine before it occurs, based on questionable facts to change reality. Questioning becomes an immoral act,” said Orbach.
The allegation of the genocide is also based on the affirmations that Israel intentionally targeted civilians, but the study recognizes civil death while finding no evidence of a systematic massacre policy.
Orbach cited BBC data showing that between May 2024 and January 2025, 550 people were killed in designated secure areas – just 2.1% to 3.5% of the total victims, even if half of the Gaza population was concentrated for a large part of the period.

“This indicates that the areas was relatively safe, despite the use of Hamas to launch rockets,” said Orbach.
The report notes that the context is crucial, declaring that Hamas was deliberately positioning itself in civil zones, used human shields and blocked evacuations to increase civilian victims and the international condemnation of Israel.
“Hamas exposes its own people to intentionally danger so that Israel is blamed,” said Orbach.

While criticism accused the Israeli air army of blind bombing, the study notes that strikes generally targeted military objectives, although civilian victims were inevitable.
“The FDI is the first army in history to issue targeted warnings, to provide large-scale aid on enemy territory and to sacrifice surprise to protect civilians,” he said. “You cannot fight an enemy rooted in 500 kilometers of tunnels, disguised as civilians without mass destruction.”
The study pays particular attention to the figures of victims published by the Ministry of Health of Gaza managed by Hamas, saying that they have been manipulated to create misleading impressions of demography of the dead. It presents alternative statistical models suggesting that combatant deaths may have been underdeveloped, distorting the civil / fighter ratio.

The report indicates that genocide requires a systematic intention to destroy a people – something he finds absent from Gaza. “You do not see the characteristics of the genocidal war here,” said Orbach. “There are no rape campaigns, frontal massacres or executions at close range. In other conflicts in the Middle East, dozens of such atrocities occurred in a few hours of combat.”

Orbach and his colleagues authors conclude that the allegations of genocide against Israel are based on politicized stories, selective data and the exploitation of humanitarian discourse.
“Analyzing devastation or civilian people without understanding Hamas tactics is absurd,” he said.
