Mehdi DEBUNKS NYT Columnist’s Viral Argument Denying Israel’s Genocide of Gaza

Mehdi takes down Bret Stephens’s viral argument and explains why Israel is unmistakably committing genocide in Gaza. Ever since Israel began their horrific war on Gaza, many pro-Israel pundits and genocide-denialists have suddenly decided that they know far more about war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide than actual human rights experts. How convenient! New York Times’ conservative columnist Bret Stephens is of course no exception. In this latest ‘DEBUNKED’ video, Mehdi breaks down why Stephens’s viral argument – in which he claims that calling Gaza a genocide is “farcical” – is total BS. Watch the full video above to watch Mehdi bring the receipts and show Stephens how real journalism is done.

Your summer jam is here!! “Camp Fabulous” was inspired by my experiences in groups, camps and retreats for queer and trans youth and is quite probably my most gorgeous book ever. I promise you will laugh and cry with my longest one-shot story ever!

A part of the benefits will go to give copies away for kids at queer and trans summer camps. (If you’re involved in one of them and would like some copies, send me a message!)

Also, shipping is free for the first week!
