US EditionPresident of J Street Says He's Been Convinced Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza - News From Antiwar.com
GAZA STRIP, AUG 5 – Jeremy Ben-Ami cited evidence including over 60,000 civilian deaths, starvation, and forced displacement in Gaza in acknowledging Israel's campaign meets genocide criteria.
- On August 4, 2025, Jeremy Ben-Ami, leader of the US liberal Zionist group J Street, stated he has come to accept legal and scholarly arguments suggesting that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the criteria of genocide.
- Ben-Ami's change followed growing international backlash over extensive siege, starvation, and high Palestinian civilian casualties in Gaza, despite his previous genocide denial.
- He cited Israel's denial of food, attacks on civilians seeking aid, destruction of Gaza's infrastructure, confinement of residents, and forced displacement as evidence of genocidal conduct.
- Ben-Ami wrote, "I simply won't defend the indefensible," and stated that international courts will likely find Israel broke the genocide convention legally.
- This shift among a leading US pro-Israel advocate indicates growing recognition of Gaza's humanitarian crisis severity and may impact US debates over ceasefire and military aid.
