Only 28% of Scholars Association’s Members Voted on Gaza Genocide Resolution, but Global Media Missed the Story
Critics say the IAGS decision, backed by just a quarter of its members, was presented as a consensus of genocide scholars
By Gabriel Colodro / The Media Line
Only 28 percent of the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) cast a ballot in the resolution declaring Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza. Of those who voted, 108 supported the measure—less than a quarter of the association’s total membership. Yet international outlets, including The Guardian, AP, Reuters, The Washington Post, and the Financial Times reported the outcome as if it were a sweeping consensus of the world’s foremost genocide experts. Critics inside and outside the association now argue that the process was unrepresentative and that the coverage misled the public into believing in unanimity where none existed.
