What is genocide?

• His definition also encompasses cultural genocide.
• The 1948 U.N. Genocide Convention specifies that genocide can happen by killing and destroying a group, preventing births and transferring children to another group, among other means.
• At the time, some countries used the convention as a political tool to obscure their own histories of genocide.
• This made it less likely the U.S. would be charged with genocide for Jim Crow policies that enforced segregation of Black Americans.

Using genocide for political reasons

• Governments and political leaders have long used genocide claims to make threats against other countries or to provide a rationale for foreign intervention, ostensibly to ward off a genocide.
• There is also a long history of government officials arguing about the definition of genocide to deny that it was actually happening.
• Today, countries like Russia and China continue to deny that they are committing what many experts consider genocide.

Three ways genocide is discussed

• In my research, I have found that people often approach genocide in three ways.
• First, legal scholars contend that before violence is considered genocide, it is necessary to demonstrate that what occurred neatly matches what the Genocide Convention spells out.

Genocide and the Israel-Hamas war

• People are using these three different interpretations of genocide to characterize the Israel-Hamas war.
• Genocide, for all its conceptual limitations, provides a way of understanding the violence in Israel and Gaza.
• And so, people invoke the word genocide in its conventional sense, sometimes through genocide-related hashtags and slogans.
• Her remarks echo those of others who say that it is Israelis who are at risk of genocide.
