UPDATED: Israeli historian Lee Mordechai publishes “My testimony regarding the Israel-Gaza war” to log his dissent during Israel’s genocide
Published 15 March 2024. Updated 18 June 2024. “I, Lee Mordechai, write this document as a historian and Israeli citizen, as my testimony to the horrible current situation in Gaza as events are unfolding. I write my personal opinion as an academic, partially because of the disappointing general silence on this issue among many international and Israeli academic institutions, especially those that are well-positioned to comment on it, even as some of my colleagues have bravely spoken out. I do not believe this document will convince many others to change their minds. Rather, I write this publicly to testify that during the war there were and remain Israeli voices who strongly dissented from Israel’s actions.”
