Israel’s Gaza War Is One of History’s Worst Crimes Ever
Israel’s war in Gaza combines a staggeringly high death rate, shocking violence toward children, unparalleled physical destruction, and now a world-historical famine. The world has, by objective measure, never seen anything like this.
Oh absolutely, this is unfortunately not the only genocide currently being attempted, nor are genocides the only seemingly immeasurable hurt that we’re currently committing against humanity.
I’m an immigrant in Germany, and even after visiting concentration camps and seeing multiple Stolpersteine (memorial plaques) per block in most cities, the massiveness of the holocaust still hits me in waves.
You’re right that we need to weigh these types of crimes, and their scale is not an excuse to bury our heads in the sand.
What can we do now? Raise our voices to be heard? Do we take it in turn, Israel protest on Mondays, Sudan on Tuesdays?
