A growing number of the world’s leading genocide scholars believe that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide, according to an investigation by Dutch newspaper NRC.
The paper interviewed seven renowned genocide researchers* from six countries - including Israel - all of whom described the Israeli campaign in Gaza as genocidal. Many said their peers in the field share this assessment.
“Contrary to public opinion, leading genocide researchers are surprisingly unanimous: the Netanyahu government, they say, is in that process - according to the majority, even in its final stages,” the investigation concluded. “That is why most researchers no longer speak only of ‘genocidal violence’, but of ‘genocide’.”
Correct, but what the press publishes and frames, and refuses to publishes is what forms public opinion.
You ask the NYT and BBC about Gaza, they’ll tell you that Gaza has always been rubble with blood in the sand.
You ask the US government and Germany about Israel’s actions and motives, they’ll advocate for your comments to be removed.
How a press and state operate can’t prohibit public opinion, but has major influence. American press helped to cover up the Yellow cake Uranium that was falsified for a illegal invasion. It didn’t stop the protests, but refused to cover protests on equal levels with Iraq/Al Quada’s actions.
Plus right now Feddit is trying to censor any criticism of Zionism, Israel, and Gaza unless it’s praise for the aggressor.
