Israeli-American Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies Omer Bartov has said that “Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people,” in an opinion-editorial for the New York Times.

The op-ed titled ‘I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It,’ was published in the American daily today.

“My inescapable conclusion has become that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people … I have been teaching classes on genocide for a quarter of a century. I can recognise one when I see one,” Bartov said in his article.

Bartov had previously explained why he believed Israel was committing genocide in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
