On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Omer Bartov, Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University. He discusses the Haaretz estimate of 2% of Gaza’s population killed by Israel and the systematic destruction of Gaza to make it uninhabitable, his visit to Israel to give a lecture at a university and the protests against him by Israeli students for saying a genocide was taking place in Gaza, why he has come to the conclusion that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza to wipe out the Palestinian population in whole or in part, why it may be hard to prove Israel’s intent of genocide, whether the US, UK & EU are complicit in war crimes and genocide by supplying weaponry to Israel, Israeli society showing no empathy for the Palestinians suffering in Gaza despite opposing Benjamin Netanyahu, how Israelis went from experiencing the trauma of the Holocaust during World War 2 to carrying out genocide in Gaza and apartheid against Palestinians, why Israel’s apartheid system over Palestinians will intensify, why Israel’s apartheid state will eventually implode and much more.
