The lies and culture that made Israeli society support genocide | Orly Noy (B'Tselem) | UNAPOLOGETIC

Orly Noy is the chairperson of B’Tselem, the Israeli human rights organisation that has been documenting Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians since 1989. In this episode, we discuss B’Tselem’s new report, titled ‘Our Genocide’, which argues that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. We also examine the sociological culture in Israel that has led to a society largely supporting the Israeli state’s annihilation of Gaza and its people, and the lies and myths that have produced a global narrative where power brokers enable or are complicit in the genocide. The episode covers topics from opening and guest introduction at 0:00, Israeli crimes beyond imagination at 1:14, indifference in Israeli society at 5:01, B’Tselem’s mission and evolution at 7:10, Israel ignores human rights groups at 15:24, myths about self‑defense claims at 17:15, the human shields narrative at 20:12, Israel’s “most moral army” myth at 27:16, long‑term dehumanization of Gazans at 34:01, genocide could spread West Bank at 40:25, removing Netanyahu won’t change at 44:26, criticism of Israel and antisemitism at 48:14, why the report took this long at 51:00, and future of Gaza and Israel at 54:48.
