We speak with veteran journalist Peter Maass about the Israeli war on Gaza and his new opinion piece for The Washington Post headlined “I’m Jewish, and I’ve covered wars. I know war crimes when I see them.” Maass, who was a senior editor at The Intercept until earlier this year, has spent decades covering wars, including the Bosnian genocide in the 1990s that killed about 100,000 people over nearly four years. He says many of the same war crimes he reported then are part of Israel’s current assault, including sniper attacks on civilians, bombing of civilian infrastructure, attacks on bread lines and besieging whole populations by preventing food and other aid from entering. “What seems to be unfolding in Gaza is even worse than what I saw in Bosnia,” says Maass.

Not everyone may know what a war crime is or looks like, but most people on a fundamental level have an innate understanding of what could be a crime against humanity. And that's because all they need to do is put themselves in the position of the victim. That's why Izrael's actions in Gaza has been so emotionally affecting to many, because many feel the inherent inhumanity of it.

I forget people under 30 have no knowledge of previous genocides, I'm 38 and can clearly remember The Yugo wars and Rwanda, it was on the news every night. The film Behind Enermy Lines is it set in the first one, and it's plot starts with pilots gavering evidence of mass graves. It's a pretty good film although very Ameri-Centric. Keep researching people, and if you have an uneasy feeling about what you are being told, don't think you are going mad, it's just your gut brain letting you know something isn't right, whether it be lies or morally corrupt actions.

I'm 24, from Texas. The only geno/cide ever taught to us was the holocaust and that they aren't common or rarely happen. The problem is that our schools refuse to teach us about it and what it is and how it happens. That's why GenZ are so mad about this because people are trying to hide this and tell us it isn't happening when we see with our own eyes it is. There is an agenda to hide this and keep people from learning about it. Older people may have been out of school for a long time and do not realize how much our school systems are failing us because there are people trying to make that happen.

Everyone under 30 grew up in school systems which never taught about either- and that Gsides are rare or never happen. Repubs have been trying to erase that Gsides ever happened, and wouldn't teach about the Hcost if they could without backlash. Repubs made the US education system fail and are surprised that people are still trying educate themselves despite their efforts. We want to know more but the people who were supposed to teach us failed at teaching. And it wasn't the teachers, it was the principles and school boards who want to teach there is no such thing as Rsism, Gside, Hphobia, etc. They made us uneducated on purpose, but that doesn't mean we're stupid.

The only war crimes have been and are committed by Hamas from 2007 through to October 7 2023. These include the bombing and killing civilians and then the indiscriminate murder, rape, burning and the taking of civilians as hostages on Oct. 7. Using civilian institutions e.g. hospitals, schools, aid facilities as military bases to launch their attacks, make these fair targets in war. Hamas terrorists do not wear uniforms but hide among civilians using women and children as shields. Their ideology is the same as the n@azis as they do not want peace, they do not want a two state solution, only to kill Jews. Gaza has plenty of food and no one is starving. Whoever heard of the Allies sending food to Germany and Japan in WWII? The ratio of terrorist to civilian deaths is the lowest ever seen in urban conflicts, (even if one believes the fictitious numbers from the Gaza Ministry of Health aka Hamas) just compare to Afghanistan and Iraq. No country has done more to limit non-combatant casualties as has Israel. Remember that Hamas still holds 133 hostages which is a war crime and they will be defeated. Note the help Israel received from its Sunni neighbors i.e. Jordan and Saudi Arabia in response to the Iranian war crimes. Reply

The genocide in Bosnia was horrific by all means and i thought that was the worst i could see in my lifetime, until the genocide now in Gaza. The difference is, in Bosnia 100K dies in 3 years where around 60% military and 40% civilians, in Gaza more than 95% are civilians. Also the mass destruction of hospitals, schools, universities, refugee camps, holy places, graves, shops and other entities in Gaza never been seen before. I believe the Bosnian genocide was one of the worst, but at the time the west countries and UN had the conscience to prevent it, but now the west is complicated and funding the genocide. I wish people understand that the next generations will ask us what we did to prevent this horror? how could we sleep knowing the kids in Gaza dies everyday of bombs or hunger?

If 95% are civilians, where are all the dead Hamas operatives? Are you aware that the Hamas way of fighting is a war crime by definition of their charter and in practice as well? are you aware that holy places are used for storage of deadly weapons and hospitals used as military headquarters for over a decade, abusing western standards of not hitting those places because they are supposed to be civilian places, something that Hamas laughs about? This is so one-sided ...

You need to get the facts. Hamas terrorists do not wear uniforms but hide among civilians using women and children as shields. Even the Gaza "Ministry of Health" aka Hamas report that 20% are combatants. Since they double their "statistics" it is assumes that at least 40% are combatants and it's probably higher. Kids in Gaza lived very nicely until October 6, so send your questions to Hamas and don't embarrass yourself by spewing obvious nonsense.

@ginnymoo7628
@ginnymoo7628 21 день тому
There is no Genocide. Look up the definition of genocide. Populations need to decrease dramatically to be a genocide. Casualties in a war are not a genocide. Palestine has already replaced their inflated death numbers. 180 babies born in Gaza a day. The population has exploded. They shoot little Martyrs out of their vaginas like missiles. The term genocide was coined to describe the horror of more than 6 million Jews who were massacred during WW2. The Jewish population still has not recovered from their genocide 80 years ago. There is no genocide unless population numbers go down. That's what the word genocide describes. Stop misappropriating words to play victim and cause Antisemitic hatred. Hamas have not done one thing to protect their own children. They use them as pawns in their war games and to exploit their suffering for sympathy propaganda. Palestine is blackmailing the world's morality by attacking and then hiding behind their own civilians. It's the despicable behaviour of sociopaths.

The war in Gaza has been handled so poorly on humanitarian grounds, with innocent children and civilians being murdered and their homes deliberately and viciously destroyed on a large scale, directly or indirectly by so-called civilized or democratic governments. This not only causes horrible long-term mental damage to the future generations of Palastinians, but also deeply affects decent and conscientious people around the world. For the past few months, here 6,000 miles away, I have been haunted by nightmares and sleeplessness just imagining what is happening in Gaza. October 7 was bad, but this is a hundred times worse. Even animals, after killing, take a pause for rest.

The Jews are called Jews because they originate in JU dea. In Egypt Jewish Birth Certificates listed their religion as Israel ites as they originate from Israel. In Italy since 2,000 years Jews are called Hebrei / Hebrews as they speak Hebrew; a Semitic language that is written like Arabic from right to left with the First pages in the back. The Roman historian Flavius Josephus clearly documents the arrival of the Jews in France, Germany and Spain with the Romans.
