Israel begår IKKE folkemord, sier folkemordsekspert David Hirsh

David Hirsh er en britisk folkemordekspert, sosiolog og professor ved Goldsmiths, University of London. Han er kjent for sitt arbeid innen sosiologi, særlig relatert til folkemord og antisemittisme. Hirsh tok sin doktorgrad ved University of Warwick med en avhandling med tittelen Crimes Against Humanity and International Law ("Forbrytelser mot menneskeheten og internasjonal rett").

Han har skrevet flere bøker og artikler om temaer som folkemord, menneskerettigheter og antisemittisme. Hans bok Law Against Genocide: Cosmopolitan Trials (2003) regnes som et viktig bidrag til forståelsen av internasjonal rett og folkemord, og ble tildelt Philip Abrams Memorial Prize for beste debutbok innen sosiologi. I denne boken analyserer han blant annet den britiske rettssaken mot Anthony Sawoniuk for Holocaust-relaterte forbrytelser begått i Hviterussland i 1942.

Hirsh har også vært aktiv i motstanden mot akademiske boikottforslag mot Israel, og er en ledende kritiker av antisemittisme på venstresiden i britisk politikk. Han er medgrunnlegger av Engage, et nettverk som jobber mot akademiske boikotter av Israel, og har vært en sentral skikkelse i kampen mot antisemittisme ved britiske universiteter.
