RFK Jr. calls genocide allegations in Gaza a blood libel
In an article, John Spencer said that genocide isn’t defined by comments taken out of context, casualties or social media
By
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that the accusations of genocide in Gaza are a “blood libel” in a post on the social media platform, X.
Earlier this week, the Urban Warfare Studies Chief of the Modern War Institute at West Point, John Spencer, published an article titled “I’m a War Scholar. There is no Genocide in Gaza.”
Kennedy responded to the article on X saying, “The genocide charge is a blood libel. Thank you Major Spencer for this withering deconstruction.”
In his article, Spencer said that genocide isn’t defined by comments taken out of context, casualties or social media.
“I have interviewed the Prime Minister of Israel, the Defense Minister, the IDF Chief of Staff, Southern Command leadership, and dozens of commanders and soldiers on the front lines,” Spencer wrote. “I have reviewed their orders, watched their targeting process, and seen soldiers take real risks to avoid harming civilians. Nothing I have seen or studied resembles genocide or genocidal intent.”
The U.S. is currently trying to end the ongoing war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump’s special envoy for peace missions, Steve Witkoff, announced the United States would withdraw from Gaza ceasefire talks, citing frustrations with Hamas.
The U.S. is not the only country pushing for an end to the war in the Middle East, which has caused starvation in Gaza due to disruptions in sending food and other aid into the territory. More than 30 other countries issued a joint statement on Monday, calling for an immediate end to the war and the release of all remaining hostages.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
