Never Again
[Jerusalem Post] Editorial - Last week, a distinguished group of public figures called for the international community to seek the indictment of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the charge of incitement to genocide. This call should be immediately and widely heeded. The Genocide Convention, whose full title is the Convention to Prevent and Punish the Crime of Genocide, explicitly lists "public incitement to commit genocide" among "punishable" acts prohibited by the treaty. The requirements of the Genocide Convention are so clear, the incitement is so unabashed, and the threat is so real that we do not see why all nations and organizations, including those who champion the causes of peace and human rights, will be indifferent to our cause.
