All the evidence points to Genocide in GazaNick Cohen talks to author and former Foreign Office diplomat Arthur Snell about the ongoing Middle East crisis, focusing on the devastating impact of the Hamas attack on Israel in 2023 and its consequences for the region. They explored the situation in Gaza, including concerns about potential genocide and the humanitarian crisis, as well as the implications of proposed resettlement plans and refugee outflows. The conversation also touched on the role of international actors, particularly Europe and the United States, in addressing the situation, and the unpredictable nature of Donald Trump's foreign policy regarding Israel and the Middle East.What's happening in Gaza is genocideArthur argues that Israel's actions against the Palestinian population in Gaza constitute genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention. He examines the Israeli government's intent and capability and concludes that it is to make Gaza uninhabitable for Palestinians, noting the shift in Israeli public opinion after the October attacks. Arthur emphasises the challenges Israel faces in defeating Hamas without destroying the Gaza population.International Influence on Gaza TragedyArthur and Nick discuss the ongoing tragedy in Gaza, focusing on the role of international actors, particularly Europe and the United States, in addressing the situation. Arthur emphasises that while Europe has limited influence over Israel, there are mechanisms to pressure governments committing international crimes, such as sanctions and surveillance missions by the RAF. He also highlighted the involvement of companies like BCG in planning for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Andrew questioned Europe's power to influence the situation, noting that only the United States, under Trump, has significant leverage over Netanyahu.<h2>Read all about it</h2>.Arthur Snell's substack column is<a href="https://arthursnell.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Not all doom</a> & his regular inciteful podcast is<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/behind-the-lines-with-arthur-snell/id1704344656" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Behind the Lines.</a> Arthur's first not fiction book is <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Britain-Broke-World-Afghanistan-ebook/dp/B0DSC5HNB9?ref_=ast_author_mpb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">How Britain Broke the World: War, Greed and Blunders from Kosovo to Afghanistan, 1997-2022</a> .Nick Cohen's <a href="https://x.com/NicholasTyrone" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@NickCohen4 </a>latest Substack column <a href="https://nickcohen.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Writing from London</a> on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.
