Charlie Kirk to Ben Shapiro: College Students Keep Telling Me Israel Is Committing Genocide

‘How do you respond to that?’

EXCERPT:

KIRK: “I receive often and we're starting our campus tour tomorrow is that Israel is committing genocide. How do you respond to that, Ben?”
SHAPIRO: “There is literally no definition of genocide by which Israel is committing a genocide. Typically a genocide involves the targeted killing of the vast majority of the population or at least an attempt to do so. There has never been a genocide attempted in world history in which the food that was being shipped in was more than the daily caloric intake of the average American into the areas where you're supposedly attempting to genocide the population. The total population loss in the Gaza Strip thus far has been 3 percent. During the Holocaust -- just to take a reference -- it was 50 percent. During Rwanda, it was significantly higher than 3 percent. You don't issue leaflet warnings to people. You don't go house-to-house in a genocide in an attempt to reduce civilian casualties.”
