Mehdi Hassan Debunks Gaza Genocide Denial Claims in 60-Second Video
August 3, 2026
“WHO DO YOU BELIEVE? THEM… OR NETANYAHU?”
Journalist Mehdi Hasan busts the “genocide denial” narrative in under 60 seconds by listing every major global authority that has documented war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and forced starvation in Gaza.
Whenever critics point out what’s happening, defenders of the war accuse them of lying or pushing bias. Mehdi flips the script with one simple question: Is everyone else on Earth lying, or is the politician fighting for his own career lying?
Anyone exposing starvation and ethnic cleansing in Gaza is routinely accused of lying or spreading propaganda.
He names dozens of independent bodies that agree on the facts—from 14 UN Special Rapporteurs and Doctors Without Borders to prominent Israeli human rights group B’Tselem.
Even top former Israeli officials—including a former Prime Minister, a former IDF chief, and ex-Shin Bet security directors—have called out their own government’s actions.
Either every major humanitarian group, genocide scholar, and aid agency on the planet is lying… or one government is.
“Do you believe the UN, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, leading Israeli Holocaust scholars, and former Israeli military heads… or Benjamin Netanyahu?” — Mehdi Hasan

English Script:
Gaza has been cut off from the world for almost three years and subjected to war crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide. But if you say that Israel and its supporters will accuse you of lying, of being anti-Semitic, of perpetrating a blood libel. So let me debunk this argument in less than 60 seconds by asking one very simple question. Start the clock. Do you believe Benjamin Netanyahu, Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich about what’s been happening in Gaza? Or do you believe the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry, the UN Special Committee, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN High Commissioner for refugees, the UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian territories, 14 other UN Special Rapporteurs, the former UN humanitarian chief, UNICEF, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, B’Tsalem, Gisha, physicians for Human Rights, Israel. Doctors without borders, Oxfam, save the Children, Christian Aid ActionAid, the NGO Airwars, the NGO Action on Armed Violence, the International Association of Genocide Scholars and its president Melanie O’Brien. The editor of the Journal of Genocide Research, Dirk Moses, the author of the book What Is Genocide?, Martin shaw the leading Israeli Holocaust scholars. Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg, Daniel Blackman, Raz Segal, Shmuel Lederman, the Norwegian Refugee Council, the Danish Refugee Council, and Refugees International, the International Rescue Committee. The former head of Israel’s military, Moshe Ya’alon, the former head of Israel Shin Bet Ami Ayalon. The former deputy head of Israel’s Mossad, Amiram Levin, and the former prime minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert? Who do you believe, them or the Israeli government? Who do you think is lying? All of them? Or Benjamin Netanyahu?
