#haaretz / If It Isn't a Genocide in Gaza, Then What Is It?

[…] What to call dying children on hospital floors, some of whom have no one left in the world, and hungry elderly civilians fleeing for their lives from the unceasing threat of bombs everywhere? Will the legal definition change their fate? Israel will breathe a sigh of relief if the court dismisses the charge. As far as it is concerned, if this is not #genocide our conscience will be clean again. If The Hague says "not genocide," we will once again be the most moral ones in the world.

#haaretz / Holocaust Researchers to Yad Vashem: Condemn the Public Discourse in Israel Calling for Genocide

[…] About 50 Holocaust researchers from Israel and abroad, whostudy the Holocaust and genocide, appealed today (Wednesday) to the chairman of Yad Vashem, Danny Dayan, demanding that he voice "an unambiguous moral opinion" condemning "the public discourse calling for destruction and the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza."

[…] The letter is signed by researchers from Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University, Haifa University, and Ben Gurion University, including Eva Illouz, Daniel Blatman, Omer Bartov, Rivka Brot, Amos Goldberg, Ariel Hirschfeld, Yehiam Weitz, Moshe Zimmerman, Moshe Zuckerman, Dalia Ofer, and Avraham Ronen.

The fact that Yad Vashem has been quite so far says everything.

#israel / casus belli 🇮🇱🇵🇸

Looks like #Netanyahu’s legal defense team is collecting evidence to present in The Hague … one day, inshallah …. to explain why it was justified to kill 17,000 Palestinians.

“During operational activity by the 551th Division yesterday, a large teddy bear was found containing sniper rifles and ammunition inside a school.”
