The program is replayed Fridays between 2PM and 3PM on Melbourne’s 3ZZZ 92.3FM Title: Dr Henry Theriault – IAGS resolution on the genocide in Gaza: (GIGO) Garbage in, garbage out (*from 1:55 mins) Description: Maurice Klein speaks with Henry Theriault, Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs at Worcester State University International, Founding Co-Editor, Genocide Studies International (University of Toronto Press) and Immediate Past President (2017-2021), International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) that with the recent passing of a IAGS resolution, made the false claim to the world that an overwhelming majority of genocide experts agreed that a genocide was taking place in Israel. Appearing to now be just another group of activists masquerading as scholars, the most egregious resolution accusing Israel of everything under the sun in order to allege genocide, the resolution was passed by just 20% of the IAGS membership, in anyone’s language a far cry from an overwhelming majority. After asking Henry for some background about the IAGS and for a definition of genocide, by-the-way the United Nations defined genocide in the Genocide Convention, focusing on the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious. Henry then very much declined to discuss the resolution in detail stating that he does not engage with genocide-deniers and abruptly terminated the interview. For further information and understanding about the IAGS and the depraved resolution about Israel, our listeners should listen to an interview with Sara Brown on the Israel Connexion with David Schulberg podcast at https://omny.fm/shows/israel-connexion/israel-accused-of-genocide. Sara Brown is a genocide scholar who has been a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars since 2013 and is highly critical of the very biased resolution, the report that was the foundation for the resolution, along with the resolution process and the membership makeup of the IAGS.
