Andrew Roberts minimises Gaza's killing, Simon Schama misrepresents genocide law and Jillian Segal threatens political free speech. Robert Manne writes that defences of Israel demand a far more searching moral reckoning.
The ideological poison that has overtaken Israeli society is programmed into them from babyhood. To see one country doing this is disgusting but to see so many liberal democracies that big talk their ‘values’ supporting such a morally compromised society (which allows them to keep committing mass killing and ethnic cleansing) says a lot about our supposed humanity. Are those power structures which support genocide at arm’s length the ones acting in a sub-human way?
