David Grossman, an award-winning Israeli novelist, has said Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to a “genocide”, a term he said he is using with “immense pain and a broken heart”.
“For many years, I refused to use that term: ‘genocide’,” Grossman, a longtime peace activist and government critic, told the Italian daily La Repubblica newspaper.
“But now, after the images I have seen and after talking to people who were there, I can’t help using it,” he said.
“This word is an avalanche: once you say it, it just gets bigger, like an avalanche. And it adds even more destruction and suffering,” he said.
