English Script:
Avi Shlaim: Under Netanyahu’s leadership, Israel has also committed the crime of war crimes, genocide. Genocide is not just a legal concept, but a fundamentally moral issue. It is the denial of the right to exist of a whole group of people. Israel’s national identity is inextricably linked with the Holocaust. But Israel is no longer the victim if it has ever been. Whereas in the Second World War, the Jews were the defenseless victims of Nazi Germany. Today it’s the Palestinians who are the defenseless victims of the Jewish state.
