The historian Prof. Amos Goldberg, a Holocaust researcher from the Hebrew University, published a video these days with an unequivocal statement: what is happening in Gaza is genocide. Amos is a highly respected Holocaust researcher, not a belligerent propagandist, and yet, there are those who will not allow the title alone to open the short video or listen.
Amos is not single. Holocaust and genocide researcher Daniel Beltman stated that “Israel is committing a terrible war crime in Gaza, ranging from murderous ethnic cleansing to genocide.” The call to observe and stop what is happening in Gaza is no longer the domain of international organizations or researchers abroad alone. And whether it is clear that it is “genocide” or it is only a possibility – it cannot be ignored.
