Gaza War Can Be Called a Genocide, Press Watchdog Rules
8th May 2026
The Press watchdog has ruled that publications are entitled to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.
The First Amendment saves Americans from being subject to a ‘press watchdog’.
The Independent Press Standards Organisation (Ipso) rejected a complaint from a member of the public about the term being used as a statement of fact in a newspaper article.
Ipso said it was “not in a position to adjudicate on the actions of Israel”, even though the UK Government had been clear that genocide was not being committed.
I wonder how they classify Muslim attempts to exterminate the Jews?
