Recently listened to a show where Gaza was discussed. No mention of the plight of the Palestinians the fact that Israel is starving the populace.
The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS), a prominent academic group of over 500 genocide experts, has also declared Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the UN definition of genocide. There are great bulwark podcasts. This isn’t one of them.
