Revision as of 07:36, 12 October 2023

Genocide against Palestinians is a characterization of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict that argues that Israel has carried out or is carrying out some kind of genocide against the Palestinian population, sometimes related to the view that Israel is a settler colonial state.

Events

Nakba

Historians Martin Shaw and Omer Bartov carried out a debate regarding whether the 1948 Nakba could be regarded as a genocide, with Shaw arguing it could and Bartov disagreeing. Daud Abdullah states, "Given the declared intent of the Zionist leaders, this wholesale destruction and depopulation of Palestinian villages fit easily with the definition of genocide as cited in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide."

Siege of Gaza

Historian Ilan Pappe argued that genocide "is the only appropriate way to describe what the Israeli army is doing in the Gaza Strip".

In a 2023 article, Mohammed Nijim "contends that Israeli policies that were enacted after the introduction of the siege in Gaza amount to slow-motion genocide"

Conceptions of genocide

Haifa Rashed and Damien Short argue that Raphael Lemkin's original concept of genocide can be used to analyze "the historical and continuing, cultural and physical, destructive social and political relations involved in the Israel/Palestine conflict". In a separate publication, Rashed, Short, and John Docker argued that the conflict did not receive enough attention in the field of genocide studies.

Historian Lawrence Davidson, in his book about cultural genocide, included a chapter about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Legal aspects

In 1998, legal expert Francis Boyle suggested bringing a case against Israel for violating the Genocide Convention.

Political discourse

Both sides of the conflict frequently accuse the other of plotting genocide.
