The purveyors of the genocide libel can be divided into three groups, John. There are those whose antipathy to Israel is so great that they are prepared to believe any accusation, however grotesque, and no rational argument will ever convince them otherwise. When confronted with evidence to the contrary they tend to become abusive. Then  there are those who know perfectly well that there was no deliberate attempt to exterminate Palestinian civilians and  only made the this accusation  out of anger at the devastation in Gaza. But having made the accusation they are too embarrassed to withdraw it.  This group when  presented with the evidence, if they reply at all, tend to engage in intellectual sophistry in order to justify their position, for example by pretending that the word genocide doesn’t mean what everybody knows it means and can be applied in situations where there are high numbers of civilian casualties, whether civilians are deliberately targeted or not. Then there are the dimwits who know nothing about the history of the conflict but merely repeat the views of the social  circle in which they move, fearing that they might be ostracised if they ever questioned these opinions.
