Israeli author David Grossman says Gaza war is genocide

Prominent Israeli author David Grossman has stated that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. In an interview with an Italian newspaper, Grossman said that after seeing images and speaking with people who were there, he could no longer avoid using the term, which he had previously refused to do. He described the word "genocide" as an avalanche that grows and adds more destruction and suffering once uttered. His comments follow similar declarations by two major Israeli rights groups amid growing international concern over the conflict.
