šI am now officially a āgenocide scholarā as a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. I will uphold its mission to advance research & teaching on genocide and its prevention. See next link for my viral article exposing false claims of genocide in Gaza. 1/

I became a member too late to vote against the recent resolution calling Israel's action in Gaza a genocide (only 28% of total members voted yes). See my article below exposing the false claims:

I've been getting to know some of my fellow genocide scholars. Seems that Iraq is a center of knowledge in this field with 80 listed scholars of ~600 (13%). Remarkable, especially the Mahmood family with 5 scholars in the field. I wonder who voted for the Gaza resolution.

I have been asked by other scholars about the necessary credentials to join this esteemed group of "genocide scholars" that generated worldwide headlines because 24% of members voted that Gaza was a genocide. There are 2 key criteria: (1) be alive (2) have a valid credit card.

Looks like the IAGS shut down new membership. They also appear to have removed the member directory from public view, probably realizing that having ~80 members from Iraq and many random non-academics is not a good look.
