00:00So Norman, what did you make of Mr Olmert's comments? He said war crimes have been committed, but he said this is not a genocide. What did you make of what he said?
00:11Once again, we have to distinguish between my own opinion, which I have, and the opinions of all organizations that have investigated the question. Now, as you're aware, in January 2024, the International Court of Justice concluded that Israel was plausibly committing genocide in Gaza.
00:34Amnesty International, as I mentioned earlier, put out a 250-page report, concluded Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. Human Rights Watch put out an extensive report. It found that Israel was committing acts of genocide in Gaza.
00:55There were many Israelis, Israeli scholars, who weighed in on the question and said that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. So I do not believe that this is any longer a controversial question among reputable scholars and reputable humanitarian organizations.
