Positions

Further information: Palestinian genocide accusation

In the context of the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, the subsequent Israeli counteroffensive and complete blockade, which included the denial of water, food, power, and fuel to the civilian population of the Gaza Strip, Segal described it as a "textbook case of genocide" and connected it to the Nakba, the expulsion of Palestinians during the establishment of Israel in 1948.[4][5] According to Segal, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are actively engaged in three genocidal actions: acts of killing, infliction of severe bodily harm, and implementation of measures strategically designed to destroy Palestinian existence. As evidence, he accuses the IDF of engaging in total warfare by destroying mass swathes of Gaza and imposing a strict blockade of essential goods.[6]
