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.

Karmama refuses to say it is. And

pro-Israel groups often accuse anyone

who says Gaza is a genocide of

perpetrating an anti-semitic blood liel.

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. Durk

Moses, who is the senior editor of the

Journal of Genocide Research, Eva

Vukushic, who helped prosecute the

Shrebbrin genocide. William Shabas who

even defended Myanmar against charges of

genocide against the Rohhinga 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 Omar Barov, Amos

Goldberg, Daniel Blatman, Raz Seagull,

Lee Morai, Dr. Shmul Leman who was

originally opposed to calling Gaza a

genocide but now says quote 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 raoturs. In fact, speaking

the other week to the Dutch newspaper

NRC, the Israeli expert Ras Seagull

said, "Can I name someone whose work I

respect who doesn't consider it

genocide?" His answer, no. The Israeli

expert Leedman 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.
