The International Association of Genocide Scholars says Israel is committing genocide.
Israel has engaged in systematic crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide in Gaza, according to a resolution by members of the International Association of Genocide Scholars.
The group says there is clear intent to expel Palestinians from the Gaza Strip – by bombardment, starvation and forced displacement.
The assessment comes months after the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on charges of war crimes.
And there’s a case at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide.
So what tangible results can come from this new accusation?
