Dara HornGUEST
It's like every argument in that book of the book of bad arguments, like appeal to authority.
Dara HornGUEST
Oh, the International Association of Genocide Scholars said it was a genocide.
Dara HornGUEST
Appeal to authority.
Dara HornGUEST
Meanwhile, then it turns out that how do you join the International Association of Genocide Scholars? You pay $30 and a fifth of their membership lives in Iraq.
Dara HornGUEST
which is not a place that I knew was high on the list of academics studying genocide.
Dara HornGUEST

Mehdi HasanHOST
One of the interesting things about that clip in 2024 that we just played is not just that you weren't being cowardly and you spoke at a time when people were really hiding, but you also said genocide at a time when it was hugely controversial.

Myf WarhurstHOST
That feels political in itself.

Israel's human rights groups, every major genocide organization like the International Association of Genocide Scholars, they have come out and said it's a genocide.
