"What We're Watching Is Genocide": Holocaust Scholar Omer Bartov on the "Growing Consensus" on Gaza



We speak with leading Israeli American historian Omer Bartov about his latest essay for The New York Times, headlined "I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It." Bartov cites the United Nations definition of "genocide," which includes an intent to destroy a group of people that makes it impossible for the group to reconstitute itself. "This is precisely what Israel is trying to do," he says. "Israel is trying to concentrate the population of Gaza in the southernmost parts of the strip, to enclose them and to enforce, eventually, either that they would just die out there or that they would be removed from the Gaza Strip altogether."

...getting the hard headed, hate Hamas crowd to open their eyes and see it for what it is!

But, I have no illusions that the hate Hamas people will have the courage to see the reality...because it interferes with their belief that Hamas must be destroyed at any cost...any cost at all!!!
