CIDI wrote that professor, sociologist, and migration expert Ruud Koopmans placed the responsibility for a possible genocide in Gaza on Hamas. By way of comparison, CIDI stated that the Japanese army during the Battle of Okinawa at the end of World War II had extensively used its own civilian population as a shield, but that the American continuation of the fighting had never been considered genocide. CIDI asked why the situation in Gaza was assessed differently according to Koopmans. https://t.co/FKOQqFEgy8 #Gaza #genocide #Hamas (translated)
