JERUSALEMIn response to an independent United Nations inquiry concluding that Israel is committing an ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a defiant statement Thursday in which he criticized the commissions finding, declaring that these so-called genocide experts have probably never committed a genocide in their lives. Until youve killed countless civilians, the word genocide shouldnt even come out of your damn mouth, said Netanyahu, arguing that the pampered intellectuals at the U.N. were nothing more than a bunch of armchair human rights abusers.
Name one ethnic group youve attempted to obliterate. Ill wait. I mean, have you even bombed a single childrens hospital? Please, youve got no idea what youre talking about. Maybe you read a book about the 1948 Genocide Convention? Well, Ive read Sports Illustrated, but that doesnt mean Im a quarterback. You have no on-the-ground experience mass-murdering civilians like I do, okay? At press time, the acting U.S. ambassador to the U.N. formally backed Israels motion to compel the chair of the Human Rights Council to list three families whose lines he had wiped out if he was such a genocide scholar.

Very dark, but it hits the mark.
