"I lead a top Israeli human rights group. Our country is committing genocide ...
For Israelis of my generation, the word 'genocide' was supposed to remain a nightmare from another planet. A word tethered to our grandparents’ photographs and the ghosts of European ghettoes, not to our own neighborhoods."
~ Yuli Novak

"We were the ones who asked, from a distance, about others: How could ordinary people go on with their lives while something like this happened? How could they let it happen? What would I have done in their place?
In a grotesque twist of history, that question now circles back to us. ...
The Israeli state is committing genocide."
"And once you accept that, the question we have asked ourselves all our lives rematerializes with urgency: What would I have done, back then, on that other planet?
Except the answer is not rhetorical. It is now. It is us. And there is only one right answer:
We must do everything in our power to stop it."
