“A textbook case of genocide. Israel has been explicit about what it is carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?” Asks Raz Segal who is an Israeli historian, and an endowed professor in the study of modern genocide at Stockton University. He explains that according to the U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) requires ‘special intent’ as a technical requirement for the determination of a ‘genocidal act.’ The aim of destroying a racial, ethnic, religious, or national group (collectively), is just such an intent, and this very intent is evident in recent statements of Israeli politicians and army officers. He points out that Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has declared a “complete siege” on Gaza, cutting off water, food, and fuel. In this contect, Gallant has stated that Israel is fighting “human animals” and will react accordingly. Segal states, “If this is not special intent to commit genocide, I really don’t know what is.”
