The actual experts on genocide, who taught us analytical clarity, have spoken up for months against the genocide (@martinshawx, Raz Segal, William Schabas, John Quigley, and recently Omer Bartov). But the @NewLeftReview are unable to educate themselves and take a stand.
Countries that experienced genocide say this is a genocide, but the @NewLeftReview are unable to educate themselves and take a stand, they are waiting for "analytical clarity" to descend upon them:
Do not be that kind of "new left", and instead educate yourself and read @martinshawx's two books: "What is Genocide", and "War and Genocide".
Read John Quigley: "No intent alternative to that of destruction was apparent. South Africa’s claims against Israel present a “conditions of life” situation like none the International Court of Justice has seen."

Read Jinan Bastaki: on forced displacement and genocide: ejiltalk.org/gaza-forced-di…
And, finally, read South Africa's UN Security Council submission on genocidal intent:
I guess this is still relevant opiniojuris.org/2024/05/07/on-…
This article from December 2023, shows that while some experts like Omer Bartov waited for 10 months to "see Genocide" in Gaza, many others saw clearly from the beginning:

Israeli universities seem surprised by the increasing global boycott of Israeli academia. Here is a brief list that shows how embedded Israeli academia in the military industrial complex: 🧵

A new report by the UN Special Committee:

1. "Given the developments during the reporting period, the Special Committee is ever more convinced that the world is witnessing genocide in Gaza" ohchr.org/en/documents/t…
2. "Committee is shocked by the extent of land confiscation, targeting of communities, separation of families, demolitions, forced evictions, killings, physical abuse and other tactics employed... to push Palestinian communities from their lands and homes" in the West Bank Image
3. "Special Committee has received disturbing briefings on the systematic and widespread perpetration of sexual and gender-based violence, torture and other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment inflicted on Palestinian detainees by Israeli military and security forces" Image

1. The Trump - Netanyahu plan should be opposed and rejected. It offers the Palestinians a choice between colonial apartheid and occupation, at best, and gives a cover for the continuation of the genocide, at worst. 1/24 🧵
2. This is a unilateral, one-sided plan, that is delivered as an ultimatum. Therefore it would effectively justify the continuation and completion of the genocide. Either because Hamas will be cornered to reject it or because Israel will violate it.
3. Israel has a track record of violating agreements (no withdrawal from Lebanon after Nov 2024 agreement; violating cease fire agreement in March 2025; no lifting of blockade despite release of a hostage in May 2025).

The final nail in the coffin of genocide denial:

UN Commission of Inquiry concludes on reasonable grounds that Israel have committed and is continuing to commit the following actus reus of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip Image
The report released today adds to the growing consensus that Israel has been committing genocide since October 2023 ohchr.org/sites/default/…Image
The Commission recommends that all Member States: Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; Image

1. The most annoying thing about the Ezra Klein interview with Philippe Sands is his use of Lemkin to maintain that 7 October was a genocide. It is had to reconcile this with Lemkin's actual book. A brief 🧵 Image
2. The glaring omission from this statement by Sands are the words "occupation" and "coordinated plan"; and thus the recognition of the gross power asymmetry between Israelis and Palestinians. To begin with, here is Lemkin's definition: Image
3. Lemkin continues: genocide has 2 phases...
(Who has confiscated the lands and displaced the residents? Who has de-nationalised? Who has imposed their national pattern? who is the occupier?) Image

1. When journalists say 'Israel says' they are not actually quoting what Israeli leaders say repeatedly, rather they are simply repeating talking points that conceal what Israel actually says and does. Examples since March 2025🧵
2. Talking point: "This will all end if Hamas releases the hostages."

Netanyahu, March 2025: "voluntary migration. This is the plan. We are not hiding it." gov.il/en/pages/pm-ne…Image
3. Talking point: "Israel did not say that it is using starvation as a method of warfare."

a) Israel, 2 March 2025: "PM Netanyahu has decided that, as of this morning, the entry of all goods and supplies to the Gaza Strip will be halted." gov.il/en/pages/spoke…Image
