As a member in good standing of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, I am simply appalled by our beloved organization’s resolution declaring the conflict in Gaza a “genocide.” Our elite association of academics, researchers, and randos, which costs upward of $125 to join yearly, has allowed its once-sterling reputation to be forever tainted.
Why do I speak up? Need it be said that as a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, I am one of the “world’s top scholars” on the matter of genocide. It’s not me saying this. It’s the BBC, as well as virtually every major news organization in the world. Apparently, an impressive-sounding organizational name is all one needs to get into the papers. None of the reporters bothered to investigate who the “scholars” voting on the resolution were. Not even the names of the draftees were shared — a lack of transparency that undermines our credibility.
Take the Jew-baiting “human rights” activist Agnes Callamard, of Amnesty International, who contends that an “overwhelming majority of members of the world’s leading genocide scholars” backed a resolution that finds what is happening in Gaza “meet[s] the legal definition of the crime.”
