We live in strange times. We have great many scientific and technological leaders. However, we lack moral leaders. In fact, morality has been complete erased from modern discourse. In this page, I will
"Nothing that Israel has done to the Palestinians in a century of enmity justifies Hamas’s crimes on October 7. And no crime committed by Hamas on that horrific day justifies Israel’s ongoing war crimes, vengeance, and racist cleansing of Gaza ever since on a daily base. Two wrongs do not cancel each other out.
Opposing Israel’s actions today is a moral obligation. And it is not antisemitism. It is love of humanity. No demagoguery can justify these atrocities. Every decent person, inside Israel or beyond, must do everything possible to halt this machinery of cruelty."
Avrum Bigum, former speaker of Israel Parliament
I began writing this in the first week of August, 2025, a week after two major Israeli human rights organisations declared that Israel's actions in Gaza constitute genocide. By now, the evidence supporting this conclusion is overwhelming. It is the responsibility of every person to educate themselves about a genocide and to resist it.
The genocide in Gaza is taking place with the active support of Western governments. This makes the responsibility of those living in the West even greater. In this page, I gather some of the material that has helped me understand this genocide better and record some of the actions I am taking to resist it.
Note that Genocide does not mean the Holocaust. The Armenian genocide in Turkey and the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar did not involve gas chambers. Genocide also does not require the killing of millions. Calling what Israel is doing a genocide is not antisemitic—any more than calling the Armenian or Rohingya genocides anti-Turkish or anti-Burmese.
Raz Segal: A Textbook Case of Genocide. A noteworthy opinion piece, published at the very beginning of the genocide. Its author lost their offer to head the Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Minnesota as a result.
Omer Bartov (Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Brown University). I am a Genocide Scholar. I know it when I see it. This piece is noteworthy because it finally broke the dam of total denial in the Western mainstream media. The B'tselem report came out a few days after.
Avrum Bigum (Former Knesset Speaker): Jews. Rebel - Now!
Ehud Olmert (Former Prime Minister of Israel): Israel is committing War Crimes. "Humanitarian City" is a concentration camp.
Ehud Barak (Former Prime Minster of Israel): Calls for a massive non-violent resistance against the current government of Israel.
David Grossman, celebrated Israeli author, acknowledges that Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide.
Yakov Rabkin (Professor, University of Montreal): Gaza and the undoing of Zionism.
Peter Beinart (Professor, City University of New York): Being Jewish after the destruction of Gaza
Lilih Ben Shitrit (Professor, NYU): As an Israeli political scientist, I resisted thinking this war was a genocide. Here’s what changed my mind
Ilan Pappe (Israeli Historian) et al: Break the Selective Silence on Genocide in Gaza. Letter in Lancent, pointing out that life expectancy in Gaza has dropped more than it during the Rwandan Genocide.
