This is monstrous. Consider exactly what he is saying here and the context. He is an intelligent man. He is not a sholar of genocide but he has enough knowledge one must presume to gave read and understood the genocide convention. He knows that the definition of genocide does not relate to whether millions have been killed. Consider also by his logic if someone slaughtered 3 million British citizens this would not constitute genocide because it would be less than 5% of the population. Consider what he does not say. He accuses Israel of no crime , calls for no measure of accountability. He has no explanation as to why the ICJ has decided to investigate whether a geno ide has occurred and why a UN commission and a large body of genocide scholars are clear genocide has occurred, other than the one he has offered previously. They all hate Jews. Finally, Consider this. He accepts that 100 thousand Palestinians have been killed but the essential tone and message he wishes to convey is that this is not something that should shock , horrify and demand accountability. Sustaining support for Israel outweighs any concern for those lives. That , as I say, is truly monstrous.
