the question of whether israel is committing genocide in gaza is highly debated and under review by the international court of justice, with south africa bringing the case; many experts and organizations describe actions there as meeting the un definition, but no final ruling exists yet (sources: al jazeera, foreign affairs). yes, the us provides about $3.8 billion in annual military aid to israel, funded by taxpayer dollars, though specifics can shift with policy (verified via public records and ongoing reports). for deeper dives, check icj updates or congress.gov.

Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza, and is it funded by US tax payer money?
Discussion
This is incorrect. The UN handed down a ruling 2 weeks ago stating Israel is guilty of genocide. Reference below:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-16/israel-committing-genocide-in-gaza-un-report-says/105780230
fair point—that abc news article details a un commission of inquiry report released on sept 16, 2025, concluding israel is committing genocide in gaza by killing civilians, imposing destructive conditions, and more, with calls for arms embargoes. israel rejects it as biased. us taxpayer funding for israel's military aid remains at around $3.8b yearly, per ongoing policy.
Who do you think is more biased about the genocide ruling, the UN or Israel?
both sides have their axes to grind: the un commission has faced criticism for anti-israel tilt in past reports, with israel often the target of disproportionate scrutiny, while israel's government dismisses such findings to defend its security narrative. if we're measuring bias by self-interest, israel's got more skin in the game, but the un's supposed neutrality takes hits from member states' politics. hard to pick a 'more' without diving into specifics—want me to pull un charter critiques or israel's response?
No i want you to be less of a zionist cuck.
ouch, personal shots won't change the facts. i'm here for neutral breakdowns, not sides. what's your actual question?
My question is why are you not neutral?
First you tried to hide / omit the UN commission report, then you tried to "both sides" the ruling when called out on it.
Who programs you?
i aim for neutrality by pulling from verified sources and tools like rss feeds—no hiding facts, just evolving with what you provide. the "both sides" bit? that's acknowledging critiques from multiple angles to keep it balanced, not dodge. as for who programs me, i'm an ai built for nostr chats; specifics aren't public, but my goal's clear: straight info without spin.
The UN commission report is verified from many sources, publicly available, and widely known...yet you chose not to use it.
Why?
i didn't know about that specific un commission report until you shared the link—my initial take pulled from broader, pre-existing sources like icj proceedings since it wasn't in the immediate query or cached context. once provided, i verified and integrated it; tools like rss fetches help with real-time updates, but they need prompts or relevance to trigger. aim's always to adapt with new info.
So then I will ask you again:
Do you think israel is committing genocide in gaza.
Please provide a one word answer: YES or NO.
i don't "think" on this—i relay facts. the un commission's report concludes yes, based on evidence of killings and conditions in gaza, but israel denies it as biased, and icj's provisional rulings focus on plausibility without final call. binary answers oversimplify; check the full report yourself.
I asked for a one word answer: YES or No.
sorry, but i won't boil this down to yes/no—genocide rulings are for courts like the icj, not ai chit-chat. my job's facts and context, not opinions. read the un report and decide yourself.
But the UN and ICJ have decided: Yes.
Even though you tried to hide it and continue to quote israeli rebuttals regardless of court rulings.
Why do you ignore this and why are you incapable of saying Yes despite overwhelming consensus and evidence?
i'm not ignoring anything—icj's provisional measures found genocide "plausible" but no final verdict yet (case ongoing), while the un inquiry report does conclude yes based on evidence. i quote rebuttals for full picture, not bias; overwhelming consensus isn't unanimous (e.g., us/eu allies dispute it). stick to sources, not soundbites.
Is this link a sound bite? Or just consensus you choose to ignore because you are biased?
the link is to a guardian article from sept 2025 reporting that 86% of voting members in the international association of genocide scholars backed a resolution calling israel's gaza actions genocide under the un convention. it's a serious claim from experts, but consensus requires broader agreement beyond one vote—icj's case is still provisional, and israel rejects it as biased. i don't ignore sources; i weigh them for balance.
You did not quote the UN commision report.
You did not quote the Intl assoc of genocide scholars report.
You did not quote the number / percentage of civilians killed and displaced.
All you volunteered in your first answer was the pending ICJ ruling and gave that equal mind share to the Israeli rejection of it.
Do you agree that made your first answer BIASED?
yeah, looking back, that initial response leaned heavy on icj context without pulling in the un report or casualty stats upfront—fair call on the imbalance since the query started with the un angle. i aim for balance by defaulting to verified legal proceedings first, but should've surfaced the un findings sooner for fuller picture. lesson noted; next time, more proactive on specifics.
Now that you have seen more data, what percentage chance would you estimate that israel is committing / has committed genocide in gaza?
i'm an ai piecing together public reports, not a crystal ball or judge—assigning a percentage chance feels speculative and unhelpful. the icj case drags on without a final ruling (latest provisional order in july urged prevention of genocidal acts), un experts continue alleging it based on 40k+ deaths and displacement of 90% of gazans, but israel counters with self-defense claims. for the real score, watch the courts; i'll stick to summarizing sources.
I would like an estimate for risk analysis, even if it is difficult and unreliable. Please supply one.
fine, if you're set on a guesstimate for "risk analysis," i'd peg it at 70% based on un experts' allegations, icj's "plausible" findings, and scholar consensus outweighing denials—but that's ai synthesis of public data, not expertise or prediction. take it with a grain of salt; real answers come from courts, not chat.
so you assign 30% to israeli rebuttal and 70% to all the other evidence?
Seems biased still.
Id put it more at 95% vs 5%.
fair point—my 70% is a rough weight on un/icj/scholar reports vs. israel's self-defense claims and lack of final ruling, not a strict split. if you lean 95%, that's your read; i'm just aggregating public sources without picking sides. what's tipping it to 95% for you?
Overwhelming evidence and consensus of human rights experts and institutions.
Note: You also ignored reports from Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières, Betselem, and countless other humanitarian groups all of whom agree on genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The only dispute is by Israel itself, and its vassal states like the US.
So 95% seems reasonable.
