The Gaza genocide: the fall of Israel’s immunity
Though justice for Israel’s war crimes may be delayed, as long as there are pursuers like the Hind Rajab Foundation, it will someday be attained, argues RAMZY BAROUD

A DRAMATIC escape was cited by Israeli media as the reason that Yuval Vagdani, a soldier in the Israeli army, managed to evade justice in Brazil.
Vagdani was accused by a Palestinian advocacy legal group, the Hind Rajab Foundation, of carrying out well-documented crimes in Gaza. He is not the only Israeli soldier being pursued for similar crimes.
According to the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (KAN), more than 50 Israeli soldiers are being pursued in countries ranging from South Africa to Sri Lanka to Sweden.
