This week's United Nations General Assembly will be a gala of hypocrisy and hate, as the world's worst tyrants, sycophants and cowards gather to unload all their scorn and bad faith at Israel.

Blaming the Jewish state for most of the world's ills is UN routine even in times of peace; with the IDF beginning the final stages of its campaign to drive Hamas out of Gaza, the hate will be all the louder, the lies the more outrageous.

At center stage will be the endless insistence that Israel is committing "genocide" and imposing "famine" in Gaza.

The global propaganda apparat started hurling the twin accusations the instant Israel began responding to the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attacks. After nearly two years, shouldn't someone be able to produce at least a few shreds of actual evidence of mass starvation and a vast drop in Gaza's population?

Instead, the Israel-bashers have radically re-defined both terms to make the "crime" fit the lack of evidence.

By the longstanding UN definition, genocide has always involved the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."

Israel has never shown any such intention: It's waging war on Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the other terror groups that have long controlled Gaza, and some civilian are inevitable in any war -- but the civilian toll in this war is unprecedentedly low.

Another "genocide" oddity: The IDF consistently warns civilians of areas it's about to target and gives them time to move out before it strikes.

Also: The Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health now puts total Palestinian deaths in the war at 65,000, up from 42,000 a year ago -- meaning the second year of this "genocide" took roughly half the lives of the first year.

A slowdown in fatalities is a pretty weird result if Jerusalem had the least intent to destroy the people of Gaza.

This also takes the air out of the "famine" claims: Even if all these deaths were from starvation, it wouldn't be enough to count as famine -- and in fact the Gaza healthy ministry is only reporting about one death a day from hunger.

Look: The chief authority on declaring a famine, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, defines it as as a daily mortality rate of 200 adults or 400 children per million population.

With over 2 million people in Gaza, a famine would see 400 adults or 800 kids dying of starvation every day: The real number is at least 399 short of that level, or 99.75% below famine level.

Again, long months after the "famine" claim became routine in supposedly reputable circles, such as most Western media.

On the basis of these transparent lies, several US allies are set to reward Hamas for its crimes against the peoples of Israel and Gaza by officially recognizing some sort of "Palestinian state."

Yes, the left-wing parties now forming the governments of Canada, France, Britain and Australia will declare some undefined territory to be a "country." Yet saying Palestine is a state means nothing: It's a fantasy that only promotes propaganda; the only cause it actually advances in the least is the destruction of Israel.

This when Palestinian leadership has rejected countless opportunities for actual statehood, dating back to 1947.

The central sticking point: It would mean accepting set borders that leave Israel with its own territory -- when the cause demands Palestine "from the river to the sea," no Jews allowed: Every inch of Israel -- including Tel Aviv, founded as a Jewish city in 1909 -- must be "returned" to Arab ownership.

Even though many of today's Palestinians are descended from Egyptian and Syrian workers who moved to the area in search of economic opportunity generated by the presence of the Jewish community, or Yishuv.

In short, the Brits, Aussies, French and Canadians are adding one more layer of unreality to the vast web of lies the "global community" insists on telling about Israel and the Palestinians.

This isn't even mere "anti-Zionism": The only possible motive for this obsessive smearing of Israel is antisemitism, pure and simple.

Get set for the UN's week of obscene Israel-bashing lies
