1. Summary

Extremely important new statement by 55 Holocaust and genocide scholars from around the world – with a foreword by Israeli historian Raz Segal – because they “feel compelled to warn of the danger of genocide in Israel’s attack on Gaza.”
statement-of-scholars-7-october

They make a list of demands because “the time for concerted action to prevent genocide is now”. I’ll copy them below:

They “call on governments to uphold their legal obligations under the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide to intervene and prevent genocide (Article 1) by
(1) implementing an arms embargo on Israel;
(2) working to end Israel’s military assault on Gaza;
(3) pressuring the Israeli government to stop immediately the intensifying army and settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which constitute clear violations of international law;
(4) demanding the continued release of all hostages held in Gaza and all Palestinians imprisoned unlawfully in Israel, without charges or trial;
(5) calling on the International Criminal Court to investigate and issue arrest warrants against all perpetrators of mass violence on 7 October and since then, both Palestinians and Israelis; and
(6) initiating a political process in Israel and Palestine based on a truthful reckoning with Israeli mass violence against Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba and a future that will guarantee the equality, freedom, dignity, and security of all the people who live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.”

They also “call on businesses and labor unions to ensure that they do not aid and abet Israeli mass violence, but rather follow the example of workers in Belgium transport unions who refused in late October to handle flights that ship arms to Israel.”

Finally, they “call on scholars, programs, centers, and institutes in Holocaust and Genocide Studies to take a clear stance against Israeli mass violence and join us in efforts to stop it and prevent its further escalation.”

This is their statement, read original page which has the inline links

In the following statement, over 55 scholars of the Holocaust, genocide, and mass violence deplore the atrocity crimes against civilians committed by Hamas and Islamic Jihad on 7 October and by Israeli forces since then. The starvation, mass killing, and forced displacement of Palestinian civilians in Gaza is ongoing, raising the question of genocide, especially in view of the intentions expressed by Israeli leaders. Israeli President Isaac Herzog used particularly loaded language in an interview on MSNBC just a few days ago, on 5 December: “This war is a war that is not only between Israel and Hamas. It’s a war that is intended, really, truly, to save western civilization. … We are attacked by [a] Jihadist network, an empire of evil. … and this empire wants to conquer the entire Middle East, and if it weren’t for us, Europe would be next, and the United States follows.” Herzog builds on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s association of Israel’s attack on Gaza with the Biblical evil of Amalek, but he places it on a modern scale as the last stand against global apocalypse and the demise of “western civilization.” Both Herzog and Netanyahu are secular Jews. Their use of religious language and symbolism in this case reflects a dangerous intersection in the case of Israel of the exclusionary modern nation state with a settler colonial project in a place infused with multiple religious histories and meanings. The scholars who have signed the statement are signaling their alarm about the mass violence underway in Gaza and the inflammatory language that threatens to escalate it further. They call for urgent action to stop Israel’s attack on Gaza and to work towards a future that will guarantee the equality, freedom, dignity, and security of all the people who live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Statement of Scholars in Holocaust and Genocide Studies on Mass Violence in Israel and Palestine since 7 October

December 9, 2023

We, scholars of the Holocaust, genocide, and mass violence, feel compelled to warn of the danger of genocide in Israel’s attack on Gaza. We also note that, should the Israeli attack continue and escalate, Palestinians under Israeli military occupation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Palestinian citizens of Israel face grave danger as well.

We are deeply saddened and concerned by the mass murder of over 1,200 Israelis and migrant workers by Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and others on 7 October, with more than 830 civilians among them. We also note the evidence of gender-based and sexual violence during the attack, the wounding of thousands of Israelis, the destruction of Israeli kibbutzim and towns, and the abduction of more than 240 hostages into the Gaza Strip. These acts constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. We recognize that violence in Israel and Palestine did not begin on 7 October. If we are to try to understand the mass murder of 7 October, we should place it within the context of Israeli settler colonialism, Israeli military occupation violence against Palestinians since 1967, the sixteen-year siege on the Gaza Strip since 2007, and the rise to power in Israel in the last year of a government made up of politicians who speak proudly about Jewish supremacy and exclusionary nationalism. Explaining is not justifying, and this context in no way excuses the targeting of Israeli civilians and migrant workers by Palestinians on 7 October.

We are also deeply saddened and concerned by the Israeli attack on Gaza in response to the Hamas attack. Israel’s assault has caused death and destruction on an unprecedented level, according to a New York Times article on 26 November. In two months, the Israeli assault has killed more than 16,000 Palestinians (with thousands more buried under the rubble)—nearly half of them children and youth, with a Palestinian child killed every ten minutes on average before the ceasefire—and wounded over 40,000. Considering that the total population of Gaza stands at 2.3 million people, the killing rate so far is about 0.7 percent in less than two months. The killing rate of civilians in Russia’s bombing and invasion of Ukraine in the areas most affected by the violence are probably similar—but over a longer period of time. A number of experts have therefore described Israel’s attack on Gaza as the most intense and deadliest of its kind since World War II, but while Russia’s attack on Ukraine has, for very good reason, prompted western leaders to support the people under attack, the same western leaders now support the violence of the Israeli state rather than the Palestinians under attack.

Israel has also forcibly displaced more than 1.8 million Palestinians within the Gaza Strip, while destroying almost half of all buildings and leaving the northern part of the Strip an “uninhabitable moonscape.” Indeed, the Israeli army has dropped more than 25,000 tons of explosives on Gaza since 7 October, which is equivalent to two Hiroshima bombs, and according to Human Rights Watch, deployed white phosphorous bombs. It has systematically targeted hospitals, schools, universities, mosques, churches, bakeries, and agricultural fields. The state has also killed many essential professionals, including more than 220 healthcare workers, over 100 UN personnel, and dozens of journalists. The forced displacement has, furthermore, created in the southern part of the Strip severe overcrowding, with the risk of outbreak of infectious diseases, exacerbated by shortages of food, clean water, fuel, and medical supplies, due to Israel’s “total siege” measures since 7 October.

The unprecedented level of destruction and killing points to large-scale war crimes in Israel’s attack on Gaza. There is also evidence of a “widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack” that the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court defines as a crime against humanity. Moreover, dozens of statements of Israeli leaders, ministers in the war cabinet, and senior army officers since 7 October—that is, people with command authority—suggest an “intent to destroy” Palestinians “as such,” in the language of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The statements include depictions of all Palestinians in Gaza as responsible for the Hamas attack on 7 October and therefore legitimate military targets, as expressed by Israeli President Herzog on 13 October and by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu when he invoked, on 29 October, the Biblical story of the total destruction of Amalek by the Israelites, just as Israel began its ground invasion. Casting an entire civilian population as enemies marks the history of modern genocide, with the Armenian genocide (1915-1918) and the Rwanda genocide (1994) as well-known examples. The statements also include dehumanizing language, such as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s reference to “human animals” when he proclaimed “total siege” on Gaza on 9 October. The slippage between seeing Hamas as “human animals” to seeing all Palestinians in Gaza in this way is evident in what Israeli Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Ghassan Alian promised to people in Gaza the next day: “Hamas has turned into ISIS, and the residents of Gaza, instead of being appalled, are celebrating. … Human animals must be treated as such. There will be no electricity and no water [in Gaza], there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell.”

These expressions of intent need to be understood also in relation to the widespread incitement to genocide in Israeli media since 7 October. Israeli journalist David Mizrachi Wertheim, for instance, wrote on social media on 7 October that “If all the captives are not returned immediately, then turn the [Gaza] Strip into a slaughterhouse. If a hair falls from their head – execute security prisoners. Violate all norms on the way to victory.” He also added, “we are facing human animals.” Four days later, another Israeli journalist, Roy Sharon, commented on social media “that if, in order to finally eliminate the military capabilities of Hamas, including Sinwar and Deif, we need a million bodies, then let there be a million bodies.” Annihilatory language now also appears in public spaces, such as banners on bridges in Tel Aviv that call “to annihilate Gaza” and explain that “the picture of triumph is 0 people in Gaza.” There are dozens of examples of incitement in Israeli media, which recalls the incitement to genocide in Rwanda as genocide was unfolding there in 1994.

This incitement points to the grave danger that Palestinians everywhere under Israeli rule now face. Israeli army and settler violence in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, which has intensified markedly from the beginning of 2023, has entered a new stage of brutality after 7 October. Sixteen Palestinian communities—over a thousand people—have been forcibly displaced in their entirety, continuing the policy of “ethnic cleansing” in Area C that comprises 60 percent of the West Bank. Israeli soldiers and settlers have furthermore killed more than 220 Palestinians in the West Bank since 7 October, while arresting thousands. The violence against Palestinians also includes acts of torture.

Palestinian citizens of Israel—almost 2 million people—are also facing a state assault against them, with hundreds of arrests since 7 October for any expression of identification with Palestinians in Gaza. There is widespread intimidation and silencing of Palestinian students, faculty, and staff in Israeli universities, and the Israeli Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai threatened to expel to Gaza Israeli Palestinians identifying with Palestinians in Gaza. These alarming developments and measures build on a view of Palestinian citizens of Israel as potential enemies that stretches back to the military rule imposed on the 156,000 Palestinians who survived the Nakba and remained within the territory that became Israel in 1948. This iteration of military rule lasted until 1966, but the image of Israeli Palestinians as a threat has persisted. In May 2021, as many Israeli Palestinians came out to protest an attack on Palestinians in East Jerusalem and another attack on Gaza, the Israeli police responded with massive repression and violence, arresting hundreds. The situation deteriorated quickly, as Jewish and Palestinian citizens clashed across Israel—in some places, as in Haifa, with Jewish citizens attacking Palestinian citizens on the streets and breaking into houses of Palestinian citizens. And now, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the far-right settler who serves as Israeli minister of national security, has put Israeli Palestinians in even more danger by the distribution of thousands of weapons to Israeli civilians who have formed hundreds of self-defense units after 7 October.

The escalating violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the exclusion and violence against Palestinian citizens of Israel are particularly worrying in the context of calls in Israel after 7 October for a “second Nakba.” The reference is to the massacres and “ethnic cleansing” of more than 750,000 Palestinians and the destruction of hundreds of villages and towns by Israeli forces in the 1948 war, when Israel was established. The language that member of the Israeli Knesset (parliament) Ariel Kallner from the ruling Likud party used in a social media post on 7 October is instructive: “Nakba to the enemy now. … Now, only one goal: Nakba! Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 1948. Nakba in Gaza and Nakba to whoever dares to join [them].” We know that genocide is a process, and we recognize that the stage is thus set for violence more severe than the Nakba and not spatially limited to Gaza.

Thus, the time for concerted action to prevent genocide is now. We call on governments to uphold their legal obligations under the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide to intervene and prevent genocide (Article 1) by (1) implementing an arms embargo on Israel; (2) working to end Israel’s military assault on Gaza; (3) pressuring the Israeli government to stop immediately the intensifying army and settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which constitute clear violations of international law; (4) demanding the continued release of all hostages held in Gaza and all Palestinians imprisoned unlawfully in Israel, without charges or trial; (5) calling on the International Criminal Court to investigate and issue arrest warrants against all perpetrators of mass violence on 7 October and since then, both Palestinians and Israelis; and (6) initiating a political process in Israel and Palestine based on a truthful reckoning with Israeli mass violence against Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba and a future that will guarantee the equality, freedom, dignity, and security of all the people who live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

We also call on businesses and labor unions to ensure that they do not aid and abet Israeli mass violence, but rather follow the example of workers in Belgium transport unions who refused in late October to handle flights that ship arms to Israel.

Finally, we call on scholars, programs, centers, and institutes in Holocaust and Genocide Studies to take a clear stance against Israeli mass violence and join us in efforts to stop it and prevent its further escalation.

1a. Usage of photos from elsewhere and lying about its origin

[ □ comment: this is not the first time, we see this all the time!]

The Israeli govt has published a new FAKE photo purporting to show a victim of rape by Hamas militants at the Nova music festival on October 7

The image predates 10/7 and likely shows a female Kurdish fighter killed in action whose corpse was defiled. They are described on a Japanese website as “beautiful Kurdish soldiers killed on the battlefield.” The post is dated from May 2023.

Here’s the Japanese site where the original image can be seen: https://carro-groce.com/guro-gazou/32487.html [□ comment: not able to access the site.]

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has published the fake photo here: URL

The chair of Israel’s “Hamas rape” commission, Cochav Elkayam Levy, has delivered a highly revealing response to me.

After I exposed her for promoting a 2022 photo of dead Kurdish fighters as women raped by Hamas on Oct 7, she did not bother to refute me, nor did she explain her… @MaxBlumenthal, Dec 06

It takes more effort and time to disprove their lies than for them to come up with another. By the time it becomes common knowledge that they lied about the rapes, 10 new lies will be in circulation. Remember the 40 beheaded babies? How many lies ago was that? @Hamza_Lindsay7, Dec 6

Time and time again we have stated previously that the Israeli government cannot be trusted. All statements from Israel must be re-verified thrice from independent sources to confirm their accuracy and reliability. @raza_muneer1, Dec 7

Quoting Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz
The official story is that on October 7, 2023, thousands of evil Hamas terrorists broke out of their walled-in enclave and killed approximately 1,200 Israelis for no reason other than because they were evil and wanted to kill Jews. Nothing was done by the Israeli government to provoke this attack, and nothing of any relevance happened prior to this date.

The attack was as undefended as could possibly be; Israeli defense forces did not respond for nine hours despite having received ample warning that an attack was coming for months, from both their own intelligence services and from Egyptian intelligence. No attempt was made to warn the Nova music… [continue for complete article The Official Story Of October Seventh, Article with supporting links]

Regarding the narration that the attacks by Hamas militants were unprovoked

3. German version – Deutsch

Die offizielle Geschichte vom siebten Oktober

(Übersetzt von Jochen_Mitschka @jochen_mitschka)
Die offizielle Geschichte besagt, dass am 7. Oktober 2023 Tausende böser Hamas-Terroristen aus ihrer ummauerten Enklave ausbrachen und etwa 1.200 Israelis töteten, ohne einen anderen Grund als den, dass sie böse waren und Juden töten wollten. Nichts wurde von der israelischen Regierung unternommen, um diesen Angriff zu provozieren, und nichts von Bedeutung geschah vor diesem Datum.

Der Angriff war so unverteidigt wie nur möglich; die israelischen Verteidigungskräfte reagierten neun Stunden lang nicht, obwohl sie seit Monaten sowohl von ihren eigenen Geheimdiensten als auch vom ägyptischen Geheimdienst hinreichend vor einem Angriff gewarnt worden waren. Es wurde kein Versuch unternommen, das Nova-Musikfestival vor einem bevorstehenden Angriff zu warnen, obwohl die israelischen Sicherheitskräfte bereits am Vortag wussten, dass ein Angriff bevorstand, der Hunderte von Toten und gefangenen Geiseln zur Folge hatte. Der Angriff stieß auf so wenig Widerstand, dass die Hamas Berichten zufolge selbst überrascht war, wie viele Israelis sie gefangen nehmen und töten konnte. Ihre Überraschung war vielleicht darauf zurückzuführen, dass sie zwei Jahre lang unter freiem Himmel, weniger als eine Meile von der Grenze entfernt, für einen Angriff aus der Luft, zu Wasser und zu Lande mit motorisierten Gleitschirmen, Drohnen und Motorbooten trainiert hatte. Das alles ist völlig normal und überhaupt nicht verdächtig.

Überhaupt nicht verdächtig ist auch die Tatsache, dass 100 Prozent der 1.200 israelischen Todesopfer am 7. Oktober der Hamas zugeschrieben werden, obwohl israelische Medien und Augenzeugen berichten, dass die IDF wahllos in Gebiete voller Israelis geschossen haben. Die verbrannten Leichen, die Sie auf den Fotos der Verwüstung vom 7. Oktober sehen, wurden mit absoluter Sicherheit von der Hamas verbrannt, obwohl die israelische Regierung zugegeben hat, dass sie zuvor Hunderte von toten Hamas-Kämpfern fälschlicherweise als Israelis identifiziert hatte, weil sie durch das Feuer der IDF so stark verbrannt waren, dass ihre Leichen nicht mehr zu erkennen waren. Mehr: What really happened on Oct 7, 2023

(Die offizielle Geschichte vom 7. Oktober enthielt früher auch Erzählungen über enthauptete Babys, in Öfen gekochte Babys und aus den Gebärmüttern schwangerer Mütter gerissene Babys, und man war ein böser Judenhasser, wenn man daran zweifelte, aber diese Erzählungen wurden inzwischen zurückgenommen und sind nicht mehr Teil der offiziellen Geschichte, so dass der Glaube daran jetzt freiwillig ist).

Die Ermordung von 1.200 Israelis war so böse und ungeheuerlich, dass sie die Tötung von mehr als 16.000 Palästinensern im Gazastreifen, darunter mehr als 7.000 Kinder, gerechtfertigt hat. Wahrscheinlich werden noch weit mehr Menschen getötet werden, denn das Leben von Israelis ist viel, viel mehr wert als das Leben von Palästinensern. Nur ein rassistischer occupation würde glauben, dass das Leben von Palästinensern etwas zählt.

Israel trägt ohnehin keine Schuld an den Morden in Gaza, weil die Hamas Zivilisten als menschliche Schutzschilde benutzt. Es ist antisemitisch zu fragen, wie Israel es geschafft hat, so viele menschliche Schutzschilde zu töten, während erstaunlich wenige Hamas-Kämpfer getötet wurden und der Hamas-Führung dabei kein nennenswerter Schaden zugefügt wurde.

Jetzt, da 1,7 Millionen Menschen aus dem Gazastreifen vertrieben wurden und in Richtung der ägyptischen Grenze gedrängt werden, ist es völlig in Ordnung und normal zu sehen, dass offizielle Agenden von israelischen Beamten und Vordenkern vorangetrieben werden, um die Bevölkerung des Gazastreifens ‘auszudünnen’ und sie in andere Länder umzusiedeln. Nur ein böser Terroristenanhänger würde dies als ethnische Säuberung bezeichnen; man sollte es eher als einen permanenten Urlaub betrachten.

Wenn Sie irgendeinen Teil dieser offiziellen Geschichte in Frage stellen, sind Sie ein böses, judenhassendes Monster, das den Terrorismus liebt und sich wünscht, Hitler hätte gewonnen. Man sollte Sie zensieren, aus Ihrem Job feuern, von der Universität werfen und aus der Gesellschaft verschwinden lassen, weil Sie Völkermord unterstützen und wollen, dass gute Menschen sterben.

Haben Sie das Gefühl, dass Sie verrückt werden? Das ist gut. Das bedeutet, dass es funktioniert. Das bedeutet, dass die offizielle Geschichte in Ihrem Kopf Wurzeln schlägt. Lassen Sie sie in sich aufblühen und erblühen. Hören Sie auf zu kämpfen. Entspannen Sie sich. Je mehr du kämpfst, desto mehr wird es wehtun. Lassen Sie Ihren Geist einfach leer werden und gehorchen Sie. Es wird vorbei sein, bevor du es merkst."

Den officiella berättelsen om den sjunde oktober

Den officiella historien är att den 7 oktober 2023 bröt tusentals onda Hamas-terrorister ut ur sin inmurade enklav och dödade cirka 1 200 israeler utan någon annan anledning än för att de var onda och ville döda judar. Ingenting gjordes av den israeliska regeringen för att provocera fram denna attack, och ingenting av någon relevans hände före detta datum.

Attacken var så oförsvarad som möjligt; Israeliska försvarsstyrkor svarade inte på nio timmar trots att de fått i månader rikliga varningar om att en attack skulle komma, både från deras egna underrättelsetjänster och från egyptisk underrättelsetjänst. Inget försök gjordes att varna deltagarna på Nova musikfestivalen för en förestående attack trots att israeliska säkerhetsstyrkor var medvetna dagen innan om att en attack skulle komma, vilket resulterade i hundratals döda och tillfångatagna gisslan. Attacken möttes av så lite motstånd att Hamas själva enligt uppgift blev förvånade över hur många israeler de kunde fånga och döda, deras förvåning kanske berodde på det faktum att de hade tillbringat två år med träning direkt i det fria mindre än en mil från gränsen för en luft-, sjö- och landattack med hjälp av motoriserade skärmflygare, drönare och motorbåtar. Allt detta är helt normalt och inte alls misstänksamt.

Inte alls misstänksamt är det faktum att 100 procent av de 1 200 israeliska dödsfallen den 7 oktober tillskrivs Hamas trots att israeliska medier och ögonvittnen rapporterade att IDF sköt urskillningslöst mot områden fulla av israeler. De brända kropparna du ser på bilder från förödelsen den 7 oktober brändes med absolut säkerhet av Hamas, trots den israeliska regeringens erkännande att den hade tidigare felidentifierat hundratals döda Hamas-krigare som israeler eftersom de hade blivit så illa brända av IDF:s eld att deras lik var oigenkännliga. more: What really happened on Oct 7, 2023

(Den officiella berättelsen från den 7 oktober inkluderade också tidigare berättelser om halshuggna spädbarn, spädbarn kastade i ugnar och spädbarn som slitits ur livmodern på gravida mödrar, och du blev en ond judehatande förintelseförnekare om du tvivlade på dem, men dessa berättelserna har i efterhand tagits tillbaka och är inte längre en del av den officiella historien, så du må tro på dem om du vill.)

Mordet på 1 200 israeler var så ondskefullt och grymt att det har motiverat dödandet av mer än 16 000 palestinier i Gaza, inklusive mer än 7 000 barn. Det kommer sannolikt att motivera dödandet av många fler, eftersom israeliska liv är värda mycket, mycket mer än palestinska liv. Bara en rasistisk nazist skulle tro att palestinska liv betyder något.

Hur somhelst är Israel inte skyldig till något av morden i Gaza, eftersom Hamas använder civila som mänskliga sköldar. Det är antisemitiskt att fråga sig hur Israel har lyckats döda så många mänskliga sköldar samtidigt som de dödat förvånansvärt få Hamas-krigare och inte orsakat någon allvarlig skada för Hamas ledarskap i processen.

Nu när 1,7 miljoner Gazabor har fördrivits och har skjutsats mot den egyptiska gränsen, är det helt okej och normalt att bli varse om officiella agendor från israeliska tjänstemän och tänkare för att “tunna ut” Gazas befolkning och flytta dem till andra länder . Endast en ond terroristsupporter skulle kalla detta för etnisk rensning; man borde mer se det som en permanent semester.

Om du ifrågasätter någon del av den här officiella historien, är du ett ondskefullt judehatande monster som älskar terrorism och önskar att Hitler hade vunnit. Du borde censureras, sparkas från ditt jobb, sparkas från universitetet och försvinna från det väluppfostrade samhället, för du stödjer folkmord och du vill att goda människor ska dö.

Får detta känna dig att du håller på att bli galen? Bra. Det betyder att det fungerar. Det betyder att den officiella historien slår rot i ditt sinne. Låt den blomma och blomma inuti dig. Sluta kämpa. Koppla av. Ju mer du kämpar, desto mer gör det ont. Låt bara ditt sinne bli tomt och lyda. Det här kommer att vara över innan du vet ordet av det.
