The Geopolitics of Defining Genocides, Massacres, Targeted Extrajudicial, State Sponsored Murders and Ethnophobia
Prof Hoosen Vawda – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Nov 2023

“Everything in life is a question of perspective. The oppressor, perpetrator and the cabal of planned mass killing will classify it as “The Final Solution” while the oppressed will call the targeted killings as Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide.

Genocide Convention Analysis and Explanation
William A. Schabas | UN Library of International Law – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Nov 2023

(Português) O Genocídio Israelense: Suprema Expressão do Paradigma Moderno?
Leonardo Boff – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Nov 2023

9 nov 2023 – Vamos direto ao assunto. A retaliação do estado de Israel ao ato de terror pelo Hamas foi profundamente desproporcional. Tinha o direito de autodefesa, mas a pretexto de caçar e matar terroristas acionou seu sofisticado arsenal bélico. Foram destruídos centenas de edifícios, assassinados milhares de crianças, mulheres e civis. Não se trata de uma guerra, mas de um verdadeiro genocídio e limpeza étnica.

Gaza in Real Time: Geopolitics vs Genocide
Richard Falk | Global Justice in the 21st Century – TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Nov 2023

31 Oct 2023 – Israel has long been a master of what is called in Hebrew hasbara–the spinning, manipulating and distorting of public discourse so that it either justifies what Israel is doing or diverts attention from the message of critics and skeptics to the supposedly questionable credibility of the messenger. ‘The weaponizing of antisemitism’ is a cynical example of the deployment of hasbara.
