"The letter, which has more than 500 signatures and been widely reported by the Israeli media, says legal standards of genocide are being "diluted" for "ideological ends" and argues that Hamas is "the only party to legally meet the requirements of the elements of the crime of genocide." It denounces a separate resolution by the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS),"
"One academic, Nathan Kalman-Lamb, associate professor in sociology at the University of Brunswick in Canada, has since been removed from the list of signatories but said he has not received an explanation as to how his name came to be included. Another scholar, Ted McCormick, professor of British history at the University of Pennsylvania, has claimed on social media that his name had also been incorrectly added."
Several academics discovered their names were included without consent on a letter distributed by Scholars for Truth About Genocide that disputes claims of genocide in Gaza. The letter argues legal standards of genocide are being diluted for ideological ends, asserts Hamas is the only party meeting the legal elements of genocide, and condemns a resolution by the International Association of Genocide Scholars that alleges Israeli genocide of Palestinians. The letter calls on governments to uphold international law. Over 500 signatures were listed and Israeli media widely reported it. Two named scholars said their names were added incorrectly and one has been removed.
