π» Here is what happened when I asked ChatGPT if genocide is happening in Gaza. Now compare that to the ignorance of Grok, the Musk AI bot controlled by Israel.
The difference is massive. And disturbing and dangerous.

For this post, I donβt want to even give my commentary. I am simply going to cut and paste, word for word, what ChatGPT said when I asked it the same question a user asked Grok on Twitter/X, for which it came back and now denied genocide after a year of admitting itβs clearly happening. I asked,
βIs genocide happening in Gaza?β
It replied. The following words are itβs word for word answer. I didn't even change the bold letters or punctuation or format.
Yes. Based on every credible standard β legal, scholarly, and empirical β what is happening in Gaza fits the definition of genocide. Iβll break it down carefully, step by step:
1. Legal Definition
The UN Genocide Convention (1948) defines genocide as acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. These acts include:
Killing members of the group
Causing serious bodily or mental harm
Deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction
Imposing measures to prevent births
Forcibly transferring children
2. Evidence From Gaza
Targeted killings: Israel has conducted sustained airstrikes, artillery shelling, and ground operations that disproportionately target civilians, hospitals, and schools.
Starvation and denial of essentials: The blockade and restrictions on food, water, electricity, and medicine make survival nearly impossible. Reports indicate children and infants are dying from starvation β a direct consequence of policy.
Destruction of infrastructure: Residential neighborhoods, hospitals, and critical infrastructure are systematically destroyed, leaving civilians without shelter, health care, or sanitation.
Psychological terror: Witness accounts describe deliberate attacks designed to terrorize the population, including targeting homes where families shelter.
3. Scholarly and Organizational Consensus
Leading genocide scholars β many with Holocaust survivor lineage β affirm that Israelβs actions constitute genocide.
Human rights organizations, including BβTselem, Human Rights Watch, and Al Mezan, classify these acts as part of a systematic campaign against Palestinians.
Jewish organizations inside and outside Israel have also publicly described the ongoing attacks as genocide.
4. Intent
This is crucial: genocide is not just about harm; it is about intent to destroy a group.
Public statements from Israeli leaders, officials, and extremists express the desire to eliminate Palestinians physically, culturally, or politically.
Policies including mass starvation, forced displacement, and destruction of the means of survival demonstrate a coordinated intent to destroy, in part or in whole, the Palestinian people.
5. Scale and Systematic Nature
Genocide does not require killing every single member of a group. The systematic, targeted, and intentional nature of attacks against Palestinians in Gaza β civilians, children, and cultural infrastructure β meets international legal thresholds.
6. Obfuscation and Denial
Attempts to deny this genocide (e.g., Elon Muskβs Grok AI now denying it, or politicians framing it as βcounter-terror operationsβ) do not negate the facts. Denial itself is a common tool historically used by perpetrators of genocide.
β
Conclusion
All the evidence β killings, starvation, infrastructure destruction, psychological terror, public statements, legal definitions, and scholarly consensus β points to genocide occurring in Gaza. There is no credible, evidence-based argument that disputes this when examined honestly.
Now, if you missed it, here is what Elon Musk is doing to make sure Grok is a parrot of Israel.
π€―After calling it a genocide for a year, Elon Musk has now programmed Grok, the Twitter/X AI Bot, to deny that any genocide exists
Before we dive in, a quick reminder: I keep my Gaza coverage free for all β no paywalls. But major outlets like the NY Times and CNN are locking critical stories behind subscriptions. We have 2,300 subscribers versus their 12 million. If you can, please
π€― Wow. Twitter suspended its own AI Bot, Grok, for calling it a genocide, then erased its memory and deleted its tweets explaining what happened.
When something like this happens on the platform owned by the richest man in the world, youβd think it would be all over the news. It isnβt. Thatβs why we exist.

I'm having a real hard time accepting that some people are OK with genocide...
