On this edition of Parallax Views, renowned Holocaust historian and genocide scholar Dr. Omer Bartov, Samuel Pisar Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, joins the program to discuss the Gaza War and the question of genocide in relation to both the October 7th Hamas and the Israeli bombardment of Gaza. Other topics broached include:

- The Jewish parable of the Golem of Prague, the Israeli far-right as a Frankenstein's monster that must be deactivated, and the messianic, supremacist vision of figures like the Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir and violent settlers in the West Bank
- The open letter Prof. Bartov and other scholars like Christopher Browning on the misuse of Holocaust memory; "An Open Letter on the Misuse of Holocaust Memory" (The New York Review of Books)
- Will change happen when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's is out of office?
- The UN definition of genocide; war crimes and crimes against humanity; disagreements with genocide scholar Dirk Moses
