A growing number of genocide and Holocaust scholars, including prominent Israeli and Jewish academics, are publicly stating that Israel's actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide.
This shift comes amid mounting evidence of mass civilian casualties, widespread destruction, and statements by Israeli officials that many experts interpret as incitement. The debate has reached major international platforms, with opinion pieces and legal experts arguing that the threshold for genocide has been crossed, while others continue to dispute the characterization.
