William Schabas, author of the 741-page textbook, "Genocide in International Law" - says it's a genocide in Gaza. John Quigley, author of the 300-page book, "The Genocide Convention: An International Law Analysis" - says it's a genocide in Gaza. @martinshawx, author of the books "What is Genocide?" and "War and Genocide" - says it's a genocide. @dirkmoses, author of the 600-page book, "The Problems of Genocide" - says it's a genocide in Gaza. Raz Segal, author of "Genocide in the Carpathians" - says it's a genocide in Gaza. Amos Goldberg, author of books on Holocaust, says it's a genocide in Gaza @bartov_omer, author of several books on Holocaust and genocide, says it's a genocide in Gaza. @FranceskAlbs submitted two well argued reports on genocide to the UN. @amnesty wrote a 300 page report concluding it is a genocide in Gaza. @hrw wrote a 200 page report concluding it is extermination and genocidal. But why to listen to the experts in law and genocide studies? Why to bother to read the extensive human rights reports? Listen to @piersmorgan instead; he has a gut feeling.
Piers Morgan@piersmorgan

The UN has only recognised three genocides under the 1948 legal definition: the Cambodian genocide (2 million killed), the Rwandan genocide (1 million killed) and the Srebrenica massacre (8,000 killed in 2 weeks). That’s why I don’t describe Israel’s war on Hamas as a genocide.

Absolutely appalling. Israel has struck a Lebanese civil defense center near Baalbek tonight, killing at least 12 rescuers. The center’s chief, Bilal Raad, is still under the rubble. HRW has denounced Israel’s repeated attacks on medics in Lebanon as “apparent war crimes”.

On the anniversary of genocide, security or facilities took down all posters calling for ceasefire and showing solidarity with Palestinians tho they’ve somehow left other posters up like the slice of watermelon one. I thought Edinburgh University was big on Academic Freedom? 🤡

1/8 @EdinburghUni has cancelled (for the 2nd time) a room booking I made for members and supporters of @revcommunists on campus to discuss the war on Gaza/Lebanon and how to resist imperialism today. This is politically motivated and is an attack on students' freedom of speech!
