"Melanie O'Brien, president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, told NRC that #Israel's deliberate blockade on "food, water, shelter, and sanitation" convinced her the #Netanyahu government was carrying out a #genocide, while Segal pointed to "openly genocidal statements" by #Israeli leaders.

"But for all it is about the sum of what would apply separately as 'ordinary' war crimes," NRC reported. "The picture as a whole makes it a genocide. That is how the term is meant, says [British professor Martin] Shaw: 'holistic.'""
