According to Raz Segel, an Israeli historian, Associate Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies and Endowed Professor in the Study of Modern Genocide at Stockton University, USA, on 19 Sep 2025 : ”Israel has, so far, killed in its genocide in Gaza since October 2023 more than 115,000 Palestinians and created the conditions for the painful deaths of nearly 350,000 more. Almost half a million people out of a population of 2.3 million – more than 20 percent.” Link: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2025.2557712

We discuss the activities of arms companies and other actors during the interview.

Elbit Systems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbit_Systems

Rheinmetall, German arms company, with a long history. According to Wikipedia: ‘During the Second World War, numerous forced labourers worked in the Rheinmetall factories. In the Unterlüß plant alone, around 5,000 foreign forced labourers and prisoners of war, approximately 2,500 Poles, 1,000 from the USSR, 500 Yugoslavs, 1,000 from other countries, were liberated by British troops at the end of the war. Between 1944 and 1945, Rheinmetall-Borsig took over the sponsorship of the nursery for foreign children in Unterlüß, which was also a maternity home for forced labourers and a killing centre for their children. At times, Hungarian Jewish women from a subcamp of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were deployed in Unterlüß.’ Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheinmetall
