What is happening in Palestine is not a conflict or war, it is a genocide as Bartov Omer, a leading authority on genocide writes in his book. In this interview he succinctly discusses how Israel commits war crimes and genocide on Palestinians.

The title is a bit of a pun on Bernard Lewis’s book published 20 or 30 years ago about what went wrong with Islam. That was not a very good book, but it carried an assumption that the problem was a lack of development in the Islamic world.

For Omer , it is also a question of what went wrong in the country where he was born and raised. It is a personal, political, and now an existential question with many layers.

The book talks about a process rather than a single point, but if I were to indicate a crucial moment, it is the very establishment of the State. At that moment, the state made a choice that carried a long-term price.

It decided not to have a constitution and never decided what its borders were.

As a result, Zionism became the state ideology and the guideline for how the state would behave toward its own population—citizens and non-citizens—and those who later became occupied populations.

The Israeli army on Saturday continued to pound the Gaza Strip and Lebanon despite ceasefires in effect, Anadolu reports.

Two Palestinians were injured when an Israeli drone dropped a bomb on a group of civilians in the town of Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, a medical source told Anadolu.

Witnesses also said that an Israeli quad-copter drone fired a bomb at the camp, which houses displaced people east of Jabalia.

Separately, the Israeli army demolished Palestinian homes and structures within the areas it controls east of the Shuja’iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.

According to witnesses, a loud explosion was heard as a result of the demolition.

Heavy artillery shelling also targeted areas north and east of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, coinciding with heavy gunfire from Israeli vehicles.

In the southern Gaza Strip, the eastern areas of Khan Younis were subjected to artillery shelling and heavy gunfire from Israeli vehicles, according to local sources.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said over 880 people have been killed and more than 2,645 others injured in Israeli attacks since the ceasefire was announced last October, 2026.

The agreement was meant to halt Israel’s two-year war that killed more than 72,000 people, most of them women and children, injured over 172,000 since October 2023, and caused massive destruction affecting 90% of civilian infrastructure.

In Lebanon, the fresh Israeli strikes on Saturday killed at least five people, including one in the town of al-Rafid, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.

The attacks in Lebanon’s southern Tyre district also destroyed a house and killed four other people. Israeli raids also caused an extensive damage to the Hiram Hospital in Tyre.

Israel has it all as God’s chosen people

More than 3,000 have been killed, and 1.6 million displaced in the latest Israeli assaults in Lebanon that started on March 2, soon after Hezbollah’s retaliation to the Iran war, according to Lebanese officials.

Israeli attacks continue despite a US-mediated ceasefire that remains in effect till early July, 2026.
