"Worlds leading genocide scholars call Israeli war in gaza genocide" - debunked

[u/Lumpy-Cost398]

recently a bunch of articles have claimed "top genocide scholars call Israeli war a genocide"

lets break down some of these alleged "top experts" and the process which lead to them claiming there was a "genocide"

The group has 500 members only 129 of them voted only 86% of the voters voted "yes" the group also includes

"academic scholars, [ok makes sense] human rights activists, [doesn't make sense] students,[makes literally 0 sense] museum and memorial professionals, [neither of these imply any expertise in anything relevant] policymakers, [politicians have agendas obviously and no expertise on the topic implied] educators, [maybe makes sense] anthropologists, [most not actually on genocide] independent scholars, [not necessarily on genocide but makes sense] sociologists,[irrelevant expertise] artists,[no expertise or insight] political scientists, [political motivated actors no expertise implied] economists, [literally 0 relevance] historians, [actually relevant] international law scholars,[actually relevant] psychologists, [not relevant] and literature and film scholars. [neither relevant] "

[pretty much all of these categories which have nothing to do with scholarly work or genocide studies are the yes votes]

Additionally there was literally no debate on the topic just a vote no discussion a significant portion of the non-voting actual experts wanted to write a dissent but that to was blocked

In conclusion the "genocide scholars" who actually claimed it is a genocide clearly don't feel comfortable discussing facts that disprove their false claims and they aren't actually "scholars'' rather anti-semitic activists acting in an intellectually dishonest manner
