Gaza Genocide
Published at 19:37 on 29 July 2025
Back in January of 2024 I asked if what was going on in Gaza was a genocide. My answer was essentially “probably yes, but genocide has a definition that includes acts of mass violence other than the stereotypical scenes of mass death in ghettoes and concentration that many associate with the term.”
Well, there’s really no need to delve into technicalities anymore: what is now going on is clearly genocide, even if one restricts the term to mean the more narrow and stereotypical meanings it has in popular usage.
