“the systematic targeting of a group’s reproductive capacities, both biological and social, as a deliberate strategy of erasure.”

I wonder how she will square this accusation with the documented fact that the population of Gaza has almost doubled over the past 20 years. Since when have Jew haters cared one whit for such niceties as truth, history and facts.

Given the description of the course as “situating Gaza within comparative histories of the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, and genocide against Black and Indigenous populations” one can only wonder about Holocaust trivialization.

I doubt any student will have the courage to point out that the only position Gaza holds in this list is as the item that does not belong. And that’s assuming that the Black genocide is a reference to the Rwandan genocide, though it will more likely focus on slavery in the West to the exclusion of any mention of the brutal Arab slave trade.

Minimalist, trivialized, and universalized are the trends 😔 and denial, of course.
