People on here saying what’s happening in Gaza isn’t a Genocide (or even a risk of Genocide) when Genocide scholars and Holocaust scholars are saying it’s a genocide blows my mind. I don’t understand how they can act like they know more than the people who spend their entire lives studying these things.
At this point if anyone denies it’s genocide I block on sight even if they’re pro-palestine or agree Israel is committing war crimes. Let them talk to silence because if they won’t listen to the experts and scholars then why should I listen to them.
The idea of the erasure, the annihilation, of Palestinians is being clearly articulated by Israeli political and military officials. A US lawyer who has brought a case against the Biden administration for its “failure to prevent genocide”—which is a crime, too—spoke of how rare it is for genocidal intent to be so clearly and publicly articulated. Once they have achieved that goal, perhaps the plan is to have museums showcasing Palestinian culture and handicrafts, restaurants serving ethnic Palestinian food, maybe a Sound and Light show of how lively Old Gaza used to be—in the new Gaza Harbour at the head of the Ben Gurion canal project, which is supposedly being planned to rival the Suez Canal. Allegedly contracts for offshore drilling are already being signed.
