#Israel contends that the intention to destroy a people, in whole or in part, is "totally lacking." Mr. Becker's words, however, ring hollow in light of the overwhelming evidence of genocidal rhetoric from senior Israeli officials, journalists and Israeli military and society.

This article is wrong in so many elementary ways..it's hard to know where to start. It overlooks evidence of Myanmar's evolving national identity, misapplies conflict stats, and underestimates the viability of a federal union Beyond Ah Nah reaction?🤔 nationalinterest.org/feature/americ…
