In a recent critique of Olin Rose-Bardawil’s column about what Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch deem a genocide committed by Israelis on Palestinians, a letter writer incorrectly claims it began on Oct. 7, 2023; when in fact it began with the Nakba — the violent, homocidal removal and dispossession of Palestinians by racist European settler colonists in 1947. Readers are encouraged to do a simple internet search of “Nakba” to learn how Israel’s mass murder of innocent mothers and babies began and then never ended.
