The left lobs yet another Big Lie on Israel and the fallout keeps getting worse

The left’s Big Lies about Israel keep growing bigger — as do the ugly consequences.The latest: Rep.Gregory Meeks’ bid to place a “hold” on a $2.8 billion sale of US bombs to the Jewish state.“The Trump administration’s proposed sale of 40,000 2,000-pound bombs .

raises grave, unresolved concerns about how these munitions could be used in densely populated areas of Gaza and Lebanon,” huffed Meeks; it’s empty virtue-signaling, since he can’t actually stop the sale.These are weapons needed to destroy underground tunnels and bunkers; withholding them helps sustain Hamas and Hezbollah, though Meeks claims he backs Israel’s right to defend itself from the terrorists.Rep.Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) likewise opposed the sale, claiming preposterously that “US weapons are being used to perpetrate a genocide.”It’s all nonsense: Israel has never — never — used bombs indiscriminately or where it believed major civilian casualties were likely, let alone to “perpetrate a genocide.”And there’s no legitimate fear it ever would.These charges fit with a slew of whoppers in a new film, “NAZA” (an acronym for the Hebrew words for “collateral damage”), that the Israel Defense Forces used AI to identify targets in Gaza and carried out strikes knowing they’d mostly kill civilians.Contrary to the vicious smears, the IDF never leaves targeting decisions to AI, nor would it proceed with a strike if it expected a high civilian-casualty rate.What makes these lies especially heinous is that the precise opposite is true: Israel goes to lengths to avoid civilian casualties.Even as Hamas tries to maximize them by using them as human shields.Urban warfare expert John Spencer, who’s studied the war in Gaza, reports that Jerusalem has “implemented more civilian harm mitigation measures than any military in history.” Subscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter!
