Martin Shaw, the author of the classic What is Genocide?, was one of the first genocide scholars to argue that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. As emeritus professor of international relations and politics at Sussex University, he has written widely on genocide, war and global politics.
Martin will be speaking about his book ‘The New Age of Genocide: Intellectual and Political Challenges after Gaza’. Hear from him how Israel’s ongoing campaign to erase the Palestinian people is the biggest warning of where a new genocidal mentality is taking the world.
