Israel is Using an Old Playbook on Genocide

FEATURING SHANE BURLEY - Gaza’s Ministry of Health has announced that Israel has killed more than 25,000 Palestinians since it began its latest assault on the Palestinian territory. The grim death toll comes as the International Court of Justice is drafting a preliminary verdict in a case brought by South Africa charging Israel of genocide. 

As we approach International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27th, writer and filmmaker Shane Burley has written a new piece for YES! Magazine called Don’t Let Zionists Weaponize Jewish Suffering pointing out that Israeli officials and war supporters are ironically employing the same language and logic as past perpetrators of genocide: charging its victims of genocidal intentions to justify killing them first.
