The official position of the International Association of Genocide Scholars is that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Dylan Williams (@dylanwilliams.bsky.social) reposted
What is happening in Gaza is genocide. Those enabling it—lawmakers sending arms to Israel, officials giving it cover at the UN and international courts, the lobby groups demanding such support—aren’t just accomplices, but full participants in a crime against humanity. They must be held to account.

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide. The German state is a disgrace. It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide. It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects
