Pretty much - most of us (scholars being a synonym for academics, a set I do belong to [lectureship in mathematics and statistics]) agree that bombing the homes of people into rubble and striking the camps they flee to is an intentional attempt to erase a cultural group.
Your field of study is not directly relevant here (unless you work to figure out the death toll, maybe).
However scholars that do study genocide do now seem to agree that the killing of Palestinians by Israel is a genocide.
@joker@sh.itjust.works - moreso tactfully pointing out we must be aware of credential inflation and to avoid reliance on appeals to authority?
The naïve optimist in me wants the @HexesofVexes@lemmy.world of the world to keep on revealing their backgrounds as it adds to discussions for me. Disappointing that I should be more skeptical.
