Genocide‪?‬

The document titled "Genocide?" by Rev Dr Larry Boudreau is a comprehensive examination of the term "genocide" and its application in the context of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. It begins with a dedication to the memory of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, emphasizing the importance of preserving the precise meaning of "genocide" and preventing its misuse for political purposes. The book delves into the historical and legal definitions of genocide, establishing the Holocaust as the definitive benchmark against which all subsequent claims must be measured. It critically analyzes the accusation of genocide against the State of Israel, arguing that such claims must be grounded in factual evidence and a rigorous examination of historical context. The document also explores the demographic realities of the Middle East, presenting statistical data to counter narratives of systemic annihilation. Ultimately, the work seeks to reclaim truth and context, urging a return to reason and factual accuracy in a debate often driven by ideology and political expediency
