Experts Agree: Gaza is A GENOCIDE

The G-word: Genocide.

Most media outlets in the West,
even now,

even as Israel continues
to proudly flatten Gaza

and starve the Palestinians of Gaza,
refuse to use the term genocide.

Joe Biden, last year,
went out of his way to say

what's happening
in Gaza is not genocide.

Keir Starmer refuses to say it is.
And pro-Israeli groups

often accuse anyone who
says Gaza is a genocide

of perpetrating an
anti-Semitic blood libel.

And yet, here's the thing
they don't want you to know.

Genocide experts are
almost all in agreement

that what's happening
is a genocide

per the legal definition
under the genocide convention:

Acts committed with the intent
to destroy, in whole or in part,

a national, ethnic, racial,
or religious group.

So, here are the names: the expert
names, you need to know

including Jewish and Israeli experts
on the subject of genocide,

to avoid being gaslit
by apologists for Israel.

First, there are the academic experts
who say Gaza is a genocide.

Martin Shaw, who literally wrote
the book: "What is Genocide?"

Melanie O'Brien, who is
the literal president

of the International Association
of Genocide Scholars.

Dirk Moses, who is the senior editor
of the Journal of Genocide Research.

Eva Vukusic, who helped prosecute
the Srebrenica genocide.

William Schabas who even defended
Mayanmar against charges of genocide

against the Rohingya, but says what
Israel is doing in Gaza now is a genocide.

There are also the Israeli genocide
experts, the Israeli historians

of the Holocaust, who say
Gaza is a genocide:

Professors Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg,
Daniel Blatman, Raz Segal, Lee Mordechai,

Dr. Shmuel Lederman, who was originally
opposed to calling Gaza a genocide,

but now says: "What Israel is doing
in Gaza is genocidal in every sense."

Then, there are the human rights
groups who say Gaza is a genocide:

Amnesty International, Human Rights
Watch, the legal clinics

at top US universities
who say it's a genocide:

at Boston University School of Law, at
Cornell Law School, at Yale Law School.

The United Nations organizations and
experts who say it's a genocide.

The UN independent international
commission of inquiry,

the UN special committee to
investigate Israeli practices,

multiple UN Special Rapporteurs.

In fact, speaking the other week
to the Dutch newspaper, NRC,

the Israeli expert Raz Segal said:
"Can I name someone

whose work I respect, who
doesn't consider it genocide?"

His answer: "No!"

The Israeli expert, Shmuel Lederman,
says it's now:

"the consensus view
among genocide researchers"!

So, apologists for Israel and lazy
and cowardly "both-sides" media

outlets might want to reject
the charge of genocide in Gaza.

They might want to pretend
it's hyperbole or even anti-Semitic.

But the experts
—the actual experts on genocide—

they know a genocide
when they see one.

And they see one in Gaza!
