Regarding the #Naza film and debate about war crimes vs genocide, the debate has been underway for a while, based on the documentary makers research, I published this in July 2025 link.springer.com/article/10.1... People are beginning to understand the illusion of the war/genocide distinction.

Can’t remember where, but Dirk Moses’ big genocide book simply doesn’t make the mistake of treating colonial genocide as an afterthought, or Nazi thought as outside of European history; rather, habitual mass killing of civilians just comes with the expansion of European settler colonies.

"The 'never again is now' campaign seemed to be conscripting Adorno’s legacy for Israel’s destruction of Gaza. But is this use of his ideas accurate and true to his spirit?" @dirkmoses.bsky.social responds to an editorial in the FAZ linking Adorno and Staatsräson: thediasporist.de/education-ag...

In addition to legal wrangling about international law (which is important), scholars can investigate the strategic logic driving mass state violence. The notion of permanent security that I introduced in The Problems of Genocide is being taken up by Israeli analysts www.972mag.com/israel-iran-...

Dirk addresses the changing significance of ‘genocide’: ‘There is no mistaking the changing winds in the language of transgression. It is illuminating liberal permanent security as genocidal, thereby repoliticizing a concept whose foundations were flawed in its codification in the 1940s.’

"Indigenous and occupied peoples, then, are placed in an impossible position. If they resist with violence, they are violently put down. If they do not, states will overlook the lower-intensity but unrelenting violence to which they are subject." - Dirk Moses

More than Genocide

The law occludes the abhorrent violence routinely perpetrated by states in the name of self-defense.

This is the problem with #genocide rhetoric. @dirkmoses.bsky.social has shown that genocide is the end result of permanent securitization - framing groups as permanent security threats. Such abuses are always a part of total war - like the ones supposedly needed to stop the evil genocidaires...

Dirk Moses senses ‘an air of desperation’ in recent responses of the pro-Statsrason thinkers. ‘Their catechism is buckling under the reality that the German public—including even some functionaries of the German state—can clearly see.’

Very important point by Dirk Moses (shortened by me): "Germany’s fixation on the Nazi regime locks actors into a catastrophic binary of absolute innocence and absolute evil. Coming to terms with the Nazi past can't mean adopting its categorization of the world by simply inverting the value signs."
