Israeli Genocide Scholar: Never Again? Even in GAZA? /Lt Col Daniel Davis & Prof Omer Bartov

Genocide in Real Time? Scholar Warns Israel’s Gaza Campaign Has Crossed a Dangerous Threshold

Daniel L. Davis Jul 30

READ IN APP

Omer Bartov, a leading Holocaust and genocide studies professor, argues that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has escalated into a genocidal operation. He cites the systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure and explicit statements from Israeli officials advocating permanent displacement of Palestinians. According to Bartov, May 2024 marked a turning point—revealing that the true objective was not defeating Hamas or rescuing hostages, but rendering Gaza uninhabitable and forcing its population out.

🔍 Key Evidence of Genocidal Intent

• Official Statements: Israeli ministers have publicly declared intentions to “ruin” Gaza and concentrate Palestinians in the south—or expel them entirely.

• Rafah’s Destruction: Over one million displaced Palestinians were ordered to evacuate to Rafah, only for it to be bombed and flattened, leaving no safe refuge.

• Starvation as a Weapon: Famine experts describe Israel’s blockade and aid restrictions as deliberate. Symbolic gestures like airdrops fail to meet basic humanitarian needs.

• Global Complicity: The U.S. has the power to halt Israel’s actions but chooses not to, making it complicit. European nations largely follow Washington’s lead.

• Dual Messaging: Prime Minister Netanyahu denies starvation tactics to international audiences, while Israeli ministers openly discuss ethnic cleansing in Hebrew-language media.

⚠️ A Genocide Unfolding in Plain Sight

Bartov warns that without immediate intervention, mass death by starvation is imminent. The world risks witnessing a genocide in real time—visible to all, yet met with silence and inaction.

Conclusion: The campaign in Gaza is increasingly viewed as a deliberate act of ethnic cleansing, enabled by global indifference, muted media coverage, and political complicity. Netanyahu’s strategic messaging conceals brutal realities on the ground, while the international community fails to respond.
