BOYLE, Francis. US professor of international law: "Israel committing genocide in Gaza"

Francis Anthony Boyle (born 1950) is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law. He is the author of “The Tamil Genocide by Sri Lanka” and a co-author of “The Plight of the Palestinians” (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Boyle ).

Professor Francis Boyle on race-based Apartheid Israel (2010): "Israel has never been anything but a Bantustan for Jews setup in the Middle East by the White racist and genocidal Western colonial imperial powers in order to serve as their racist attack dog and genocidal enforcer against the Arab and Muslim world. From the very moment of Western imperialism's genocidal conception of Israel in 1947-1948, Israel has historically always functioned as Jewistan – the world's Bantustan for the Jews. So Israel might as well finally change its name today to Jewistan, own up to its racist birthright, and make it official for the rest of the world to acknowledge…In the meantime, the Palestinians should sign nothing with Jewistan/Israel and let this Bantustan for Jews collapse of its own racist and genocidal weight. Good riddance!" [1]

Professor Francis Boyle on Israeli genocide in Gaza (2010): “What we're seeing in Gaza now, is pretty much slow-motion genocide against the 1.5 million Palestinians who live in Gaza.... If you read the 1948 Genocide Convention, it clearly says that one instance of genocide is the deliberate infliction of conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of a people in whole or in part. And that's exactly what has been done to Gaza, since the imposition of the blockade by Israel; then the massacre of 1,400 Palestinians, two-thirds of whom were civilians, in Operation Cast Lead. And that also raises the element in the Genocide Convention, of murder, torture, and things of that nature." [2].
