About this listen
Is Israel committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza? In this critical episode, we examine an impactful UN report that alleges genocide by Israel, analyzing complex legal definitions of genocide, apartheid, and crimes against humanity. We present expert insights into statements by Israeli officials advocating for the destruction and displacement of Palestinians, Israel’s systematic targeting of civilians and infrastructure in Gaza—including hospitals— and its justification of actions under "security." Delve into the historical backdrop of settler colonialism to better understand this pressing human rights issue. Key topics include:
- Is genocide the right term? Examining the implications and challenges of labeling Gaza’s situation as genocide.
- Genocide definitions and evidence: Legal vs. sociological definitions and proving intent.
- Nuances in international law: Why accurate terminology matters in cases of war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
With insights from leading human rights experts and legal scholars, this episode unpacks one of the most critical global issues today.
