I for one will be holding my representatives responsible who continue to vote for the US to enable a genocide. The videos coming out of Gaza have turned me and many others into single issue voters.

So what? The fact that Hamas or its supporters produce fake anti-Israel propaganda doesn't mean that Israel isn't committing genocide. To suggest so is to engage in the fallacy of composition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_composition):

(1) "Hamas produces a lot of fake anti-Israel propaganda" -> (2) "All anti-Israel evidence is fake" -> (3)"Israel is not committing genocide".

You can't reach conclusion (2) from (1).

You: "Look at these videos showing genocide in Gaza!"

Him: "Those videos are demonstrably fake."

You: "Doesn't matter!"

Are you sure that's the right fallacy?

At no point did I ever point to a video and say that it shows genocide, so your first line is invented. Here's a more accurate version:

Him: "Here is some evidence that some videos have been faked" Me: "The fact that some have been faked doesn't mean there aren't real ones"

So yes, it's the right fallacy.
