Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is banned from France for his treatment of pro-Palestinian activists detained as they tried to reach Gaza, the French government announced on Saturday.
That’s a fair criticism too.
I would have thought with all the talk about, “Never again,” we’d be a bit more upset about genocide but we have a pretty poor record around doing anything about them, caring about them, and in many cases, just knowing about them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides
Several disputed genocides have not made it into that list, either. Among them: the wilful lack of response against the AIDS crisis, and the current efforts to erase trans people in the US..
Political groups and LGBTQ+ identities are particularly vulnerable to having extermination efforts against us denied the description of genocide, and thus, minimized. Take a guess as to why.
