Why We Call It Genocide
Since October 2023, Israel has killed more than 72,000 Palestinians in Gaza*, the majority of them women and children. It has systematically destroyed hospitals, schools, and mosques, blocked food, water, and medicine, and displaced nearly the entire population. It has killed more journalists than any conflict in modern recorded history.
These are not the byproducts of war. They are its documented, deliberate features.
The International Court of Justice has found it plausible that Israel is committing genocide. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch agree. The International Association of Genocide Scholars, the world’s largest professional body of genocide experts, with 500 members including Holocaust scholars, passed a resolution with 86% support declaring that Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide. Leading scholars in the field are described as “surprisingly unanimous” on this conclusion. The United States has funded, armed, and shielded these actions at every turn. That makes this our responsibility too.
* The 72,000 figure reflects confirmed deaths reported by Gaza’s Health Ministry. Multiple peer-reviewed studies and independent researchers, including a landmark analysis published in The Lancet, estimate the true death toll could exceed several hundred thousand when accounting for indirect deaths from disease, starvation, and the collapse of Gaza’s medical system.

The same strategy was used in 2015 when a debunked poll was cited to justify a Muslim travel ban. This time, a man was arrested for attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town hall the same week.
