Dozens of Holocaust survivors, together with hundreds of descendants of Holocaust survivors and victims, have accused Israel of “genocide” for the deaths of more than 2,000 Palestinians in Gaza since the conflict erupted in July.

“Genocide begins with the silence of the world,” the statement reads, “We must raise our collective voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people.”
The statement also condemns the United States for its financial and diplomatic support of Israel.

Total silence to this post then I see, I was half expecting to see some comments, I've been wanting to use the word genocide for a while now but I didn't as it's a loaded word so I'm glad, albeit extremely sick to the stomach, that the word has finally been used and of all people, it's former holocaust victims that have accused Israel of it, good on them, it's a very brave and bold thing for them to do and I admire them for their courage to speak our against Israel.

I don't see a reason to shy away from a word when it describes exactly what is happening and has been happening for decades.
