Det er etterhvert velkjent at HL-Senteret motarbeider og ødelegger for jøder i Norge, men det nylige eventet med Omer Bartov var et et nytt lavmål. Bartov ble invitert til å holde foredrag, og til panelsamtale om temaet "Gaza after Holocaust", mer info her: https://www.uio.no/english/research/domus-bibliotheca/events/2026/holocaust-memorialHL-senteret og Universitetet i Oslo inviterte den 3. juni 2026 til samtale ved Scene Domus Bibliotheca med Bartov, om fremtiden for Holocaust-minnet. Samtalen ble ledet av Peder Nustad, leder for Dembra (HL-senteret). Nikolai Melamed Kleivan, journalist i Morgenbladet deltok i panelet.Nina Grünfeld, filmskaper, forfatter og professor ved Universitetet i Innlandet deltok i panelet.Arrangementet var en del av serien «I krigens skygge – veien videre», et samarbeid mellom HL-senteret og Universitetet i Oslo, og fikk støtte fra Fritt Ord.Om arrangementet skriver HL-Senteret selv følgende:"Minnekulturen rundt Holocaust har blitt et referansepunkt i arbeidet mot rasisme, menneskerettighetsbrudd og massevold. Med krigen i Gaza har Holocaust-minnet i økende grad blitt trukket inn i samtidens politiske debatter. Vi spør hvordan dette påvirker fagfeltets troverdighet og brede offentlige oppslutning."Kritikk av opplegget:- Bare det å sammenligne Gaza med Holocaust er forkastelig.- HL-senterets opplegg var både irrelevant for norsk kontekst og tendensiøst. - Paneldesignet var ensidig og testet ikke engang Bartovs hovedpåstand. - Folkemordspåstanden bygges ikke juridisk. - Ødeleggelse leses direkte som intensjon. - Hamas' rolle og Israels handlingsrom underbehandles.- “Nowhere to go”-argumentet forenkler Egypt/Rafah og årsaksskjeden.- Tittelen gjør Holocaust-minne til forklaringsramme før spørsmålet er prøvd.- Fallback-logikken gjør forbrytelseskategorier til forhandlingsnivåer; diskursen glir ofte slik: hvis ikke folkemord, så forbrytelser mot menneskeheten. Hvis ikke forbrytelser mot menneskeheten, så krigsforbrytelser. Hvis ikke krigsforbrytelser, så etnisk rensing. Hvis ikke det, så kollektiv avstraffelse. Dette er metodisk svakt.- Bartov glir mellom rettsanvendelse og begrepspolitikk.Referanser:Bartov, Omer. “I'm a Genocide Scholar.

Rune Lykkeberg har i denne uge talt med den israelsk-amerikanske forfatter, historiker og folkemordsforsker Omer Bartov, som netop har udgivet bogen 'Israel – What Went Wrong'. --- Ugens gæst i Langsomme samtaler er den israelsk-amerikanske forfatter og historiker Omer Bartov, som netop har udgivet bogen Israel – What Went Wrong (2026). Omer Bartov er selv født i Israel i 1954, er vokset op i landet og var soldat under Yom Kippur-krigen i 1973. Han oplevede også at blive voldsomt såret under senere kamphandlinger. Siden rejste han til USA, hvor han har undervist og boet siden 1979. I dag er han professor på Brown University, hvor han er specialist i folkemord. Han er en af verdens førende folkemordsforskere og professor i det, der hedder Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Omer Bartov sagde kort efter den 7. oktober 2023, at Israels svar ikke var et folkemord. Han gjorde opmærksom på, at kriterierne endnu ikke var opfyldt, men nogle måneder senere i foråret 2024 skrev han et nyt essay, hvor han argumenterede for, at der nu var tale om et folkemord. Det skriver han også om i sin bog. Omer Bartov har i snart et halvt århundrede været en stor intellektuel forsker og forfatter, der har blandet sig i den offentlige debat, råbt alarmeret op imod besættelsen af palæstinenserne og deltaget i forskellige former for protester mod det, som han kalder for Israels apartheidregime. I sin seneste bog trækker han en linje tilbage til grundlæggelsen af staten Israel og det faktum, at israelerne aldrig gav sig selv en forfatning, samt til den lovløshed, som findes i toppen af det israelske system i dag. Han understreger, at det ikke er sådan, at vi har højrepopulisten Netanyahu på den ene side og det liberale Israel med Højesteret på den anden side – de to fronter er ikke fronter for eller imod besættelsen af palæstinenserne. Faktisk har besættelsen, ifølge Bartov, fundet sted med Højesterets implicitte samtykke. Så det, der skulle være den øverste instans til at drage politikerne og den udøvende magt til ansvar – den instans, som hundredtusindvis af liberale israelere har forsvaret imod det, der blev kaldt det juridiske kup fra Netanyahu – har i virkeligheden, ifølge Bartov, været med til at begå den konstitutionelle misgerning, det er at acceptere et apartheidregime og et besættelsesregime. Alt det, kan du høre mere om i denne uges langsomme samtale med Omer Bartov.

In 2021, famed Irish author Sally Rooney declined to publish her book in Israel because there was no BDS-compliant publisher. At the time, she said she would be “pleased and proud” to have her books translated into Hebrew, as long as it was done in a way that respected the principles of the boycott. Last week, Rooney announced that she was publishing a Hebrew translation of her latest book, Intermezzo, with November Books and +972 Magazine. The publishers had been vetted by PACBI, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel, and deemed BDS compliant. This means November Books does not operate in Israeli settlements, receives no state funding, and explicitly recognizes the Palestinian right of return. In The Guardian, Rooney said she “kept in touch with PACBI along the way to try to ensure that I was upholding both the letter and the spirit of the institutional boycott.”Immediately, there was backlash. Some Palestinian writers, including Mohammed El Kurd and Susan Abulhawa, questioned the decision to use this “loophole” in BDS guidelines to bring the book to Israeli audiences. Why now? And why this? Even if it adheres to the letter of the boycott, does it capture the spirit, as Rooney says? On this episode of On the Nose, Arielle Angel speaks with Ahmed Moor, a writer and fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace; Maya Rosen, assistant editor at Jewish Currents; and Muhammad Shehada, a writer from Gaza and a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations, about this tempest in a teapot surrounding the Hebrew translation of Intermezzo. They discuss whether this action hit its strategic marks, and what the response says about the Palestine movement's relationship to both the Israeli left and the prospect of changing Israeli society.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for editing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Media Mentioned and Further ReadingBDS Guidelines“On +972 Magazine, Sally Rooney, and the centering of Israelis in an anti-colonial movement,” Susan Abulhawa, MondoweissThe Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine by Ilan Pappé“Yuval Noah Harari on Donald Trump's Core Delusion,” The Ezra Klein ShowPerfect Victims by Mohammed El Kurd“We're publishing Sally Rooney in Hebrew, in line with BDS.

Professor Omer Bartov is a leading scholar on the Holocaust, and history of genocide. He is also a man who was born and raised in Israel, served in the IDF during the Yom Kippur war in 1973, and was raised in the country just a decade after the end of World War II and the Holocaust - in the beginning years of the establishment of the state. In July 2025, Bartov wrote a piece in The New York Times entitled; ‘I'm a Genocide Scholar, I Know It When I See It'. In it, he wrote about reaching the ‘inescapable conclusion' that Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. He recently spoke to me about his recently published book called ‘Israel: What Went Wrong?', where he argues Zionism in its current form is beyond repair. Hosted on Acast.

After pageantry and flattery in Beijing this week, Presidents Trump and Xi are hailing a new era of the America-China relationship. But stumbling blocks remain - from tech and trade deals to the war in Iran. China expert Rush Doshi served in President Biden's National Security Council and he joins the show to discuss all the details from this historic summit. Then, what went wrong in Israel? That's the question author and leading genocide scholar Omer Bartov seeks to answer in his new book. He joins Christiane to trace the origin story of Israel, to the war in Gaza, to its present-day popularity crisis. Plus, as tech giants join Trump in China, back home in America they are seeking the key to immortality. Tech journalist Kara Swisher explores this in her new CNN series "Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever." And from the archives, a look back at the long fight for freedom in Iran. Christiane's report from Tehran, where young Iranians risked brutal punishments to go to parties. And finally, when politics meets pop.

What emerged as a national movement to liberate Europe's Jews by establishing a Jewish homeland has become a racist, irrational, vengeful state ideology worthy of history's dustbin, contends historian Omer Bartov in his new book, "Israel: What Went Wrong?" Bartov, an expert on the Holocaust and genocide at Brown University, was among the first major historians to warn that Israel's destruction of Gaza could turn genocidal. He argues that decades of the occupation of Palestinian territories (since 1967) had already inured most Israeli Jews to the suffering of others before the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7, 2023. Today, he says those feelings have hardened into outright hostility or utter indifference. Where did it start going wrong? Bartov points to Israel's founding: David Ben-Gurion's opposition to writing a constitution and to defining the new state's borders.

How did a state founded in the shadow of catastrophe arrive at this moment of profound crisis?In this urgent and deeply reflective conversation, historian and genocide scholar Professor Omer Bartov joins the Britain Palestine Project to examine the political, moral, and historical trajectory of Israel from its founding to the present day.Drawing on decades of research into nationalism, war, memory, and mass violence, Bartov explores the ideological foundations of the Israeli state, the long-term consequences of occupation, and the growing international debate around human rights, apartheid, and genocide. He also reflects on the changing role of Holocaust memory in Israeli political culture, the collapse of the peace process, and the dangers posed by rising extremism and dehumanisation.This episode asks difficult but essential questions: What went wrong?

Israël est-il en train de devenir un État paria ? La question est posée cette semaine dans le Nouvel Obs, qui titre en Une : « Crimes de guerre, colonisation, atteintes à la démocratie : la dérive d'Israël ». « Fondé pour être l'État refuge des juifs persécutés au lendemain de la Seconde guerre mondiale, Israël devient un état paria », estime Omer Bartov, universitaire israélo-américain, interrogé par le Nouvel Obs. Et l'hebdomadaire accuse : « Avec ses ministres messianiques et suprémacistes, le gouvernement israélien pratique une politique d'effacement des Palestiniens d'une violence inouïe et pilonne l'État de droit ». Le Nouvel Obs aligne les chiffres : « plus de 72 000 morts dont près de 30 000 enfants à Gaza, l'ouverture de six autres fronts : (Liban, Iran, Cisjordanie, Yémen, Irak, Syrie), et des frappes qui peuvent faire un carnage en quelques minutes comme à Beyrouth le 8 avril (350 morts et plus de 1200 blessés) ».   À Jérusalem-Est et Tel Aviv Le Nouvel Obs est allé à la rencontre des Israéliens et des Palestiniens. L'hebdomadaire s'est rendu à Silwa, quartier de Jérusalem-Est, en Cisjordanie occupée, où les habitants palestiniens de 150 maisons ont reçu des ordres de démolition, pour faire la place à des familles de colons. Destruction que les Palestiniens doivent effectuer eux-mêmes sous peine d'une amende de « dizaines de milliers de shekels ». C'est ainsi que Wassim Siam, « père de cinq enfants » est en train de démolir sa propre maison. « Les Israéliens ne veulent plus de nous ici », déclare-t-il au Nouvel Obs.   L'hebdomadaire s'est aussi rendu à Tel Aviv, où il a rencontré des Israéliens majoritairement favorables à la politique de Benyamin Netanyahou, comme cette jeune réserviste de l'armée israélienne qui déclare : « J'espère qu'on va reprendre Gaza. Ils doivent foutre le camp d'ici. Il y a plein d'état musulmans dans le monde, pourquoi on ne pourrait pas avoir notre petit bout de terre à nous ? » « L'immense majorité des médias israéliens, précise le Nouvel Obs, martèle désormais un discours nationaliste, guerrier et relaie la propagande gouvernementale ». Dans ces conditions, y a-t-il encore une opposition en Israël ?  « La gauche israélienne, encore favorable à une solution à deux Etats, se réduit comme peau de chagrin », reconnaît l'hebdomadaire.  Le pouvoir jusqu'au bout Le Point fait sa Une sur « Ces malades qui nous gouvernent ». Et la liste est longue, elle va de Georges Pompidou, François Mitterrand et Jacques Chirac en France, à Mao en Chine, en passant par Staline, à l'époque de l'URSS. Mais l'actualité, en la matière, nous conduit aux États-Unis. « Entre Joe Biden et Donald Trump, lequel est le plus atteint ? » interroge le Point, qui ne répond pas vraiment, mais qui publie une photo des deux hommes, chacun en public, semblant plongé dans un profond sommeil… ce à quoi l'actuel président américain a répondu « qu'on le prend en photo quand il cligne des yeux ». Le 13 avril dernier, « son médecin Sean Barbabella a publié un rapport décrivant sa santé comme "excellente", y compris sur le plan cognitif ». Mais « la majorité des Américains en doute », assure le Point, à l'appui de plusieurs sondages, dont l'un paru fin février, et selon lequel « 61 % des Américains pensent que Donald Trump est devenu "imprévisible avec l'âge" ». D'anciens soutiens du président en doutent aussi, ajoute l'Express, d'anciens soutiens qui invoquent le 25ème amendement, celui qui permettrait de chasser Donald Trump du pouvoir. Toutefois, rappelle le Point, « la révocation du président devrait être votée par le Congrès à la majorité des deux tiers. Assez peu probable », conclut l'hebdomadaire. Blocage d'Internet En Russie, plusieurs villes, dont la capitale Moscou, sont privées d'Internet, depuis plusieurs semaines, annonce l'Express, selon lequel « la grogne monte au sein de la population et des élites pro-pouvoir ». L'hebdomadaire raconte une scène courante : dans la rue, un Moscovite se bat avec un plan papier, « encombrant et chiffonné », faute de GPS. « Un comble, dans une des villes les plus digitalisées au monde », remarque l'Express, qui ajoute : « Aujourd'hui, les Russes font un grand bond en arrière. Pourquoi ? simplement par la volonté de Poutine. Plus exactement du FSB, successeur du KGB, aux manettes de cette vaste opération de censure (…) » Explications d'Alexander Kolyandr, chercheur au Centre d'analyse des politiques européennes : « Les services de sécurité russes veulent créer un goulag numérique car ils considèrent Internet comme une menace ». La tension est montée d'un cran, mi-avril, avec la vidéo d'une blogueuse, faisant partie "du cercle pro-poutine", comptant "13 millions d'abonnés", et ayant publié un post incendiaire, dans lequel « elle liste les problèmes qui s'accumulent en Russie, dont le blocage d'Internet ». Le porte-parole du Kremlin Dmitri Peskov a estimé que ce message abordait "des questions importantes", dont "aucune n'a été laissée sans réponse". C'est peu, mais aux yeux de l'Express, "c'est le signe d'une fébrilité au sein du pouvoir, à 5 mois des élections à la Douma". 

Since the Israel-Hamas war began in October 2023, there have been many debates over the use of the term genocide in describing Israeli military actions in Gaza.Tuesday on Midday Edition, we weigh that question with historian and genocide scholar Omer Bartov, who is in San Diego to discuss his latest book, "Israel: What Went Wrong."Then, it's been over six months since a ceasefire went into effect between Israel and Hamas. But the need for aid in Gaza and in the Israeli-occupied West Bank remains urgent.We hear from a local nonprofit coordinating humanitarian efforts in the region about what conditions are like on the ground.Guests:Omer Bartov, professor of Holocaust and genocide studies, Brown University; author, "Israel: What Went Wrong"George Kapataies, Assistant Country Director for Programs and Strategic Growth, Global Communities

Omer Bartov is an Israeli professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. He grew up in a Zionist home and served as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces, but he has long been concerned about Israel's use of military power. In a new book called “Israel: What Went Wrong?,” Bartov argues that Zionism has morphed into an ideology of extremism that led to genocide in Gaza following the Hamas attacks of October 7th. “There is growing criticism of American support for these kinds of Israeli policies, both on the American left and on the American right,” Bartov tells David Remnick. Bartov believes that Israel requires “shock therapy” because “it has not still come to identify the limits of its own power, because those limits are in Washington, DC and it's there that those limits have to be set.” “For Israel, that would be good, because I think Israel needs to be liberated from that kind of dependence on American power. I think, for American society and for American Jewry, that's a very bad thing because there is a rise of . . . antisemitism from the Tucker Carlsons of the world, who are a rising force right now.”Further reading:  “Israel: What Went Wrong?,” by Omer Bartov “A Holocaust Scholar Meets with Israeli Reservists,” by Isaac Chotiner “How to Define Genocide,” by Isaac Chotiner The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics.

Over the last two years, the world has witnessed atrocities beyond imagination. The killing of approximately 1,200 people by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023, was followed by a genocidal war in which the Israeli Defense Forces have, according to recent reports, killed over 67,000 Palestinians — nearly a third of them children. Israel's military hasdamaged or destroyed more than 90% of homes in Gaza and left countless people with life-altering physical and psychological injuries. Shocking as this is, Israel'sactions in Gaza have been met with overwhelming silence or even support from Western liberal democracies, which often portray themselves as champions of peace and a rules-based international order. Having warned of this potentialearly on, in this conversation Prof. Omer Bartov argues that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and criticizes Western leaders for their complicity.

In Israel erodiert die Rechtsstaatlichkeit. So lautet die Einschätzung des Historikers Omer Bartov. Er sieht Anzeichen von Apartheid. Von den zwei Bevölkerungsgruppen besitze eine demokratische Rechte, die andere habe gar keine. Rohde, Stephanie www.deutschlandfunk.de, Interviews

Dr. Bartov's early research concerned the Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht and the crimes it committed in World War II, analyzed in his books, The Eastern Front, 1941-1945, and Hitler's Army. He then turned to the links between total war and genocide, discussed in his books Murder in Our Midst, Mirrors of Destruction, and Germany's War and the Holocaust. In this episode, we talk about the genocide in Gaza. We start by discussing how the concept of genocide was created, how it differs from the concept of ethnic cleansing, and how to prove intent. We then go through the main sources of evidence to claim that there is/was a genocide in Gaza. We debunk arguments and claims made by the Israeli government, Israeli spokespeople, and political pundits. We discuss how the Israeli government should have responded to October 7th, the current ceasefire, and whether the genocide is still ongoing. Finally, we talk about the state of Palestine, and whether a two-state solution is still possible.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Omer Bartov, an Israeli-American scholar and Dean's Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, reviews the definition of genocide as established within the Genocide Convention of 1948 as he analyses the trajectory of events in Gaza from 7 October 2023 to the Spring 2024 when the IDF moved into Rafah and proceeded systematically destroy Gaza with the goal of making it unhinhabitable for its population. Noting that the Knesset used 7 October as an opportunity to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip, he observes that Israel's actions proved unsuccessful since there was no place to push the Palestinians. This is the moment, Bartov observes, when the situation devolved into genocide, resembling many other genocides throughout the 20th century, which began as ethnic cleansing but ended up as the mass killing of populations. Declaring that by July 2025, a consensus had been formed among the majority of genocide scholars and experts in international law, he expresses astonishment at the fact that legacy media have still not begun to employ the term “genocide” to describe what is now an agreed fact by international experts. Historicising how ethnic cleansing often turns into genocide, Bartov offers examples from the Germans' ethnic cleansing turned genocide of the Herero in what is present-day Namibia, the Armenian genocide by Türkiye, where vast numbers of Armenians were pushed into the Syrian desert and perished, to the coextensive labour and extermination camps of the Nazis during World War II. Addressing the reality that many Israelis and Jews, when they hear the word “genocide,” they think of the Holocaust, Bartov criticises this mentality since the Holocaust has become a central theme within Israeli national identity since the 1980s. He contends that Israelis view the Holocaust as “not only something that happened in the past, it is something that can happen any moment. That we are always under existential threat…And that threat is represented by the Palestinians.” Bartov explains that this genocide is, in part, a reaction to fear within the core of Israeli identity that has resulted in Israel's mass murder of Palestinians, largely because Israelis view Palestinians as their existential threat.

This week, Alona is joined by Omer Bartov, the Israeli-American historian and professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University. Two years after the Hamas-led attack in southern Israel, Israel's retaliation has killed one in 33 Gazans. Omer argues that the war on Gaza is genocidal—and that many Israelis are in denial about what their government is doing. On the podcast, Omer explains how this denial operates and its historical parallels. He argues that denialism has roots in his country's origin story, as the onslaught becomes a “second Nakba”. And he reflects on his personal journey, as an Israeli who grew up in the early days of the state. To read Omer's essay “A State of Denial”, the cover of Prospect's latest issue, out today, head to prospectmagazine.co.uk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Vad händer när vi slutar bry oss om internationell rätt? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Efter andra världskriget insåg många att något liknande inte kunde tillåtas hända igen. Därför författades regler, lagar och konventioner för att reglera hur vi människor får och inte får bete oss mot varandra.Idag menar många att dessa lagar är på väg att monteras ned och att vi rör oss tillbaka mot en värld som istället styrs av den starkes rätt. Varför är det så? Har folkrätten någonsin respekterats? Och finns det något vi kan göra åt saken?Producent och programledare: Viktor HarizProgramledare: Fanny HedenmoMedverkande gäster: Omer Bartov, Samuel Moyn, Kenneth Roth, Aryeh Neier

The Palestinian people are being killed en masse, they are being starved, and many are dying of preventable disease. More and more people are beginning to understand that it's Israel's intention to eliminate the entire Palestinian population of Gaza. Yet as untold thousands are dying, there are still people who insist that this is not “genocide” despite every bit of evidence to the contrary. This week, Adam speaks with Omer Bartov, a professor of holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, about the genocide in Gaza, why so many people are reticent to label it as such, and how the world is looking at this moment.

Leaked audio from Israel's former chief of military intelligence, Maj. Gen. Aharon Haliva, reveals him saying “50,000 dead in Gaza is necessary” and that Palestinians “need a Nakba” to learn the cost of resistance. In this conversation, genocide scholar Omer Bartov unpacks the implications: the blurred line between war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide; the whataboutisms comparing Gaza to WWII bombings; and U.S. complicity through its weapons pipeline. We also explore how Holocaust memory has been wielded as shield and sword, whether Zionism can be salvaged, and the paradox of a state born from genocide now accused of committing one. Guest bio: Omer Bartov is a historian and genocide scholar at Brown University, specializing in Holocaust studies, genocide, and modern warfare. Born in Israel, he has written extensively on the Holocaust in Eastern Europe and ethnic violence, and is widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts on genocide. To gain access to The Zach Show full episodes as soon as they drop, plus exclusive AMAs, the ability to suggest questions to future guests, The Zarchives (super secret beginnings of The Zach Show), and more, subscribe to The Zach Show 2.0 today: https://thezachshow.supercast.com/ OMER BARTOV LINKS:Twitter (X): https://x.com/bartov_omer Genocide, the Holocaust, and Israel-Palestine: https://bit.ly/4n502EyIsrael: What Went Wrong?

Genocide scholar Omer Bartov joins The Zach Show for part 1 of this conversation to explain why, by May 2024, it was “no longer possible to deny” Israel's genocidal intent in Gaza. We dig into the Rafah operation, the systematic destruction of homes, hospitals, and schools, bulldozers flattening entire neighborhoods, mass starvation, and leaders invoking biblical calls to wipe out Amalek. Bartov lays out how operational patterns + explicit statements reveal genocide, raising haunting questions about U.S. complicity and the future of Palestinians.  Guest bio: Omer Bartov is a historian and genocide scholar at Brown University, specializing in Holocaust studies, genocide, and modern warfare.

"Exclusive Look at Life in War-Ravaged Gaza," reads the title for a CNN interview with correspondent Clarissa Ward. "'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid," report Yaniv Kubovich and Bar Peleg for Ha'aretz. "I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It," argues Omer Bartov in The New York Times. These stories have something in common: they're vital pieces of journalism about Gaza, or Palestine more broadly, published in Western and Western-aligned outlets. This is, obviously, important. Reporting like this keeps Western audiences informed about Israel's genocide in Gaza, fortifies sympathetic Westerners' solidarity with Palestine, and serves as an essential counter to the pro-Israel PR machine powering so much other Western media coverage. But while these pieces have made a splash among their audiences, in many cases, they're building upon points that Palestinian journalists, writers, and activists had been making weeks, months, even years before. So why is the reporting of Palestinian journalists–especially their reporting on what's happening within their own country and cities–so often ignored, only to be heeded after it gets the Western stamp of approval? On this episode — our Season 8 finale and also the second part of our two-part series on “The Importance of Seriousness, or Why Palestinians Can't Be Witness to Their Own Genocide” — we explore the discrepancies in the alleged credibility between Western and Israeli journalists and Palestinian and other Arab journalists, especially when it comes to reporting on Israel's genocide in Gaza. We'll look at how, by Western standards, journalists don't build legitimacy by being correct, so much as by being in close proximity to the political and media establishments. Our guest is writer and organizer Kaleem Hawa.

No Other Land (2024) is the Oscar-winning documentary that shows the brutal destruction of a Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank. Recorded between 2019 to 2023, the film tells the story of Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist, who has been protesting the Israeli army's destruction of homes and eviction of villagers. Adra is assisted by Yuval Abraham, a Jewish Israeli journalist. (They are also two of the film's four directors). To Adra and other Palestinians, the Israeli army is destroying their homeland. The Israeli army, however, maintains that the inhabitants are on land that the military needs for live-fire military training and that the evictions have been duly authorized by Israeli courts. The situation turns violent—Adra's cousin is shot by Israeli soldiers in the days after the Oct 7 attacks—and Adra himself is endangered by his efforts to record the evictions and protests. The film provides a penetrating look not only at a Palestinian community in the West Bank but also at the plight of those being forced off their land--with literally nowhere else to go. [Editor's Note: Since the recording of this episode, Odeh Hathalin, a Palestinian activist and contributor to the film, was shot and killed in a village in Masafer Yatta by an Israeli settler.]Timestamps:0:00     Introduction3:42      Masafar Yatta and the Occupied West Bank7:43      The legal apparatus of illegal occupation13:14    The “Gazafication” of the West Bank20:08   The meaning of “No Other Land”23:21    Israel and the international community31:24    The crackdown on free speech in the United States and in Israel34:41    A complex story of an Israeli-Palestinian friendship41:18     The power of images43:07    Growing Israeli indifference to Gaza and the West Bank after Oct. 748:30    The film's reception in Israel 49:53    Law-based criticism of Israel and antisemitism Further reading:Bartov, Omer, “I'm a Genocide Scholar.

Many have described Israel's offensive in Gaza over the last 22 months as genocide, something which the Israeli government has strenuously pushed back on.Omer Bartov has a unique perspective on this, not only as professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University in the United States, but also as a former member of the Israeli Defence Forces.He joins The Last Word to explain why he believes Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide.Hear the full conversation by pressing the 'Play' button on this page.

Ralph and the crew spend the whole hour with Omer Bartov, professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University, who grew up in a Zionist home, lived the first half of his life in Israel, served in the I.D.F. as a soldier and officer and is the author a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.” Plus, Ralph pays tribute to legendary Washington Post reporter, Morton Mintz.Omer Bartov is a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Brown University. He has written widely on modern Germany, France, the Holocaust, and representations of war and genocide. He is the author of the Mirrors of Destruction: War, Genocide, and Modern Identity, and the forthcoming book, Israel: What Went Wrong?, and he's penned a New York Times op-ed entitled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”I published an op-ed in November 2023, and I said there were war crimes, clearly, crimes against humanity, and this will become genocide if it's not stopped. And the Biden administration at the time did nothing. President Biden could have stopped that within two weeks. The Israeli military machine cannot function for more than two or three weeks without constant supply of munitions, without constant supply of financial help, and most importantly, without a diplomatic Iron Dome, especially in the Security Council.Professor Omer BartovIf you say that you are shutting down speech because of anti-Semitism, who are the people who are pushing that? It must be all kinds of Jewish interests that are pushing that. And in that sense, this false campaign against anti-Semitism – some of whose leaders are people with pretty good anti-Semitic credentials themselves – is the best way to raise, to promote and incite anti-Semitism.Professor Omer BartovThere's no moral responsibility, there's no empathy being shown, and much of the population shares that view. To me, as someone who was raised in Israel, spent half of my life there, served four years in the army, to see my own society (including some of my friends) show this kind of moral callousness is frankly quite heartbreaking. And I have to say, it's the result of a long process. It's not only a response to October 7th, it's the result of six decades of occupation, of thinking of Palestinians as not really people who have any right to have rights or any right to health, to security. And in that sense, that long-term occupation has corrupted much of Israeli society. And maybe the most surprising thing is that there's still extraordinary people there who are fighting against that, but their numbers are diminishing, not growing.Professor Omer BartovMorton Mintz was hands-down the greatest consumer reporter of his generation. He opened up one field after another because he had a special sense of newsworthiness that other reporters and editors didn't have. He opened up the coverage of the pharmaceutical industry. He opened up the coverage of the auto industry. And he did so with such formidable documentation and research that other reporters started following the same subject area. So he was a pioneer.Ralph NaderNews 8/1/25* Crusading environmental lawyer Steven Donziger has published a new report in the left-wing outlet Orinoco Tribune on the undercount of the dead in Gaza. In this piece, Donziger uses the statistical model laid out by the prestigious medical journal The Lancet in their 2024 study on the Israeli military campaign, which found the direct and indirect death toll could be as high as 186,000. The Lancet study found that as many as 732 Gazans died every day from these direct and indirect causes. Multiplied by the 594 days the conflict has dragged on, this would equate to a death toll of 434,800, or 20.7% of the enclave's population. As Donziger notes, “If the same level of killing and indirect death that took place in Gaza…happened in the United States proportional to population, roughly 70 million Americans would have been killed.”* In more Gaza news, the Guardian reports that, “On Saturday night, the…IDF…intercepted and boarded the Handala, an aid ship that attempted to reach Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition…According to the coalition, IDF soldiers beat and choked…labor activist Chris Smalls.” The severity of the attack on Christian Smalls – founder of the independent Amazon Labor Union (ALU) – caused international outcry. From the Guardian report, “Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.” The incident also drew criticism for another reason: Smalls was the only Black person on board the Handala. While 21 members of the Flotilla group were detained, in their words ”abducted,” “This level of force was not used.” It is unclear why this level of force was used against Smalls and Smalls alone, other than the color of his skin.* Yet more tragic news from Gaza concerns the death of Odeh Hadalin, the 31-year-old Palestinian activist and English teacher featured in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land. Al Jazeera reports that footage taken by Israeli human rights group B'Tselem “appears to show [Israeli settler Yinon] Levi opening fire on Hadalin during a confrontation in the village [of Umm al-Kheir, south of Hebron].” Levi, already sanctioned by the European Union and the United States over past attacks on Palestinians, reportedly told witnesses he was “glad about it.” Despite all of this, an Israeli court has released Levi on house arrest. Basel Adra, who co-directed No Other Land with Yuval Abraham, wrote “This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time.”* One positive development is in progress however. According to the Embassy of France in the United States, "France is prepared to fully recognize the State of Palestine, and will do so in September." French recognition of the Palestinian state, will If it ultimately comes to pass, have major ramifications on the world stage. While 147 member states of the United Nations have recognized Palestine, only 10 out of 27 EU countries have done so, mostly former Eastern Bloc states like Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, along with the former country of Czechoslovakia. The modern country of Slovakia has reaffirmed their recognition; Czechia has not. In 2024, several more European nations extended recognition, including Norway, Slovenia, Ireland and Spain. France however would tip the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council to a 3-2 majority in recognition of Palestine, along with Russia and China. Moreover, AP reports the United Kingdom is now saying they will “recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza,” among other conditions. If this happens, The permanent members of the Security Council would be split 4-1, with the United States as the lone holdout. This would be nothing short of an international relations sea change on the question of Palestine.* In some more positive foreign policy news, Jeremy Corbyn's new party in the U.K. is getting started with a bang. According to the man himself, over 600,000 people have signed up to register with the new party, which describes itself as “a new kind of political party. One that is rooted in our communities, trade unions and social movements. One that builds power in all regions and nations. One that belongs to you.” Polls show this new party in the lead among Britons aged 18-24 and Corbyn leading Labour Party leader Keir Starmer by “Almost Every Metric,” among members of the rightwing populist Reform Party. That said, the Reform Party is still projected to win an overwhelming victory compared to all other parties in the next elections, though those are not expected to be held until 2029.* In Congress, Bernie Sanders forced a vote Wednesday on two new Senate resolutions to block arms transfers to Israel. Resolution 34 would “prohibit the U.S.-taxpayer financed $675.7 million sale of 201 MK 83 1,000-pound bombs; 4,799 BLU-110A/B General Purpose 1,000-pound bombs; 1,500 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; 3,500 JDAM guidance kits for MK 83 bombs; and related logistics and technical support services,” while Resolution 41 would “prohibit the sale of tens of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles.” These resolutions got the support of 27 Senators, a new record and a majority of the Democratic Senate Caucus, but still far, far short of even a simple Senate majority. Perhaps a more portentous development is that Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene this week became the first Republican in Congress to call the crisis in Gaza a “genocide,” according to the Hill. It remains to be seen whether this will help break the dam on that side of the aisle.* In New York City, new polling shows stunning results for Zohran Mamdani. The new poll conducted by Zenith Research and Public Progress Solutions shows Zohran dominating the 5-way race, earning 50% and beating out the other four candidates combined. Mamdani does even better in head-to-head matches against disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and corruption-dogged incumbent Mayor Eric Adams. The crosstabs are even more astonishing. Despite the breathless and baseless accusations of antisemitism, Zohran is winning 67% of Jews under age 45 and a whopping 85% of men ages 18-34. This second number is key as Democrats struggle to attract young men. One warning sign: a recent Pew poll shows Republicans with an 18-point lead among men in the Gen Z cohort.* In an ominous challenge to the separation of church and state, the Hill reports President Donald Trump released a memo Monday allowing federal employees to “attempt to persuade co-workers about why their religious beliefs are ‘correct.'” This memo cites “crosses, crucifixes and mezuzah,” as displays of religious indicia that should not result in disciplinary action. This bizarre and constitutionally dubious policy seems likely to lead to workplace discord.* In more Trump news, CBS reports Trump has ousted “Two top Justice Department antitrust officials.” According to sources, two deputies to Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater, who leads DOJ antitrust efforts, were “placed on administrative leave last week and fired on Monday for insubordination.” These two figures are Roger Alford, principal deputy assistant attorney general, and Bill Rinner, deputy assistant attorney general and head of merger enforcement. It is not clear why exactly Alford and Rinner were pushed out, but there has apparently been substantial strife within the administration over the antitrust cases against T-Mobile and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. AAG Slater is also overseeing antitrust lawsuits against Capital One, Apple, Google, and other major companies.* Finally, Wired reports the small Pacific island nation of Tuvalu is planning the first migration of an entire country. Tuvalu, which could be completely submerged by rising sea levels within the next 25 years, is seeking to resettle 280 Tuvaluans in Australia each year. This climate-driven mass migration is a stark sign of things to come if the international community continues to dither or deny the reality of the oncoming climate catastrophe. Today Tuvalu, tomorrow the world.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard. Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

Professor Omer Bartov recently wrote an op ed in The New York Times titled “I'm a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.” The United States Holocaust Memorial Mueseum has cited him as one of the world's leading specialist on genocide. Professor Bartov shares his insight.Omer Bartov Bio: Born in Israel and educated at Tel Aviv University and St. Antony's College, Oxford, Omer Bartov's early research concerned the Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht and the crimes it committed in World War II, analyzed in his books, The Eastern Front, 1941-1945, and Hitler's Army. He then turned to the links between total war and genocide, discussed in his books Murder in Our Midst, Mirrors of Destruction, and Germany's War and the Holocaust. Bartov's interest in representation also led to his study, The "Jew" in Cinema, which examines the recycling of antisemitic stereotypes in film. His more recent work has focused on interethnic relations in the borderlands of Eastern Europe. Recent publications include Erased: Vanishing Traces of Jewish Galicia in Present-Day Ukraine (2007), Anatomy of a Genocide: The Life and Death of a Town Called Buczacz (2018), winner of the National Jewish Book Award, and Tales from the Borderlands: Making and Unmaking the Galician Past (2022). His many edited volumes include Shatterzone of Empires: Coexistence and Violence in the German, Habsburg, Russian, and Ottoman Borderlands (2013), Voices on War and Genocide: Three Accounts of the World Wars in a Galician Town (2020), and Israel-Palestine: Lands and Peoples (2021).

The legal architecture that would define and prosecute what's happening in Gaza is failing. Reporter Suzy Hansen explains how 80 years of international humanitarian law is being tested. And professor Omer Bartov thought calling Israel's offensive in Gaza a genocide immediately after the October 7 attacks was inaccurate. He's changed his mind. This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Jolie Myers, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Andrea Kristinsdottir and Patrick Boyd, and hosted by Noel King.

The Trump administration says it will deny entry to immigrants for "suspected antisemitic activity." It is attacking prestigious universities over the antiwar protests that roiled campuses last year. It is snatching and jailing foreign students who criticize Israel. Does any of this promote the welfare of Jews, or is it a cynical weaponization of antisemitism allegations designed to protect Israel's reputation? Antisemitism is a very real and intensifying problem, not only in the United States but across the globe. In this episode, historian Omer Bartov delves into the origins of this ancient hatred and the agendas of those cracking down on alleged antisemitism today.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said "Conditions for Palestinians in Gaza are appalling and apocalyptic. What we are seeing may well amount to the gravest international crimes." Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, said, "We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly." Prominent Israeli scholars such as Omer Bartov, Raz Segal, Ilan Pappe, Lee Mordechai and Amos Goldberg, have all said Israel's actions in Gaza amount to genocide. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Jewish Voice for Peace, and other organizations have also reached the same conclusion. Apart from the U.S., Canada, and a few European countries Israel is largely isolated internationally. Arrest warrants for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant have been issued by the International Criminal Court. Israel's goal in Gaza has been made explicitly clear by Netanyahu on down: eliminate the Palestinians.
