A widely-reported vote by an association of so-called “scholars” declaring Israel guilty of “genocide” was rigged to achieve a predetermined outcome, according to a member of the group.
International media reported Monday that the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) had voted overwhelmingly (86% in favor) to conclude that Israel was guilty of “genocide” in its war against Hamas in Gaza.
Israel firmly rejected the vote, saying that it inverted the victim and the perpetrator, given that Hamas had invaded Israel determined to kill as many people as possible, and that Israel was acting in self-defense.
