“If civilians in Gaza don’t qualify for urgent international protection then we have to ask what crisis ever will and what failures took place to bring us to this point?” said Dr. Simon Adams, CVT president & CEO, in this segment on Australian Broadcast. In the first of two episodes, he speaks with Dr. Omar Bartov with Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University and Sareta Ashraph, barrister on International Criminal Law, on the use of the term “genocide” and the war in Gaza. Simon notes, “Civilian protection is non-negotiable. Even in wartime, the laws of armed conflict are binding. And so what we see here is a moral failure – polite statements of concern without real action.”
