“Indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians.”
— Former Israeli Prime Minister
What we are witnessing in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe. More than 50,000 people have been killed — including children shot while queuing for bread.
A growing number of genocide scholars, including leading Israeli academics, believe a genocide is taking place.
As someone who served on the UN mission in Kosovo, I know what it means to act in the face of mass killing. In Kosovo, we intervened to stop it. So I ask: what is the difference now?
Under international law, we have a duty to prevent genocide — not to stand by while atrocities unfold.
