Human beings are, relatively speaking, absent from the scene of perpetrating genocide in its "modern" form, and only the victims are visible. This evolved form of genocide conceals its perpetrators and those complicit in it.

Israeli occupation soldiers, for instance, have carried out the bombardment of civilian neighbourhoods in the Gaza Strip from within warplanes and tanks, while drone operators remain in air-conditioned environments inside distant military bases, or station themselves in Palestinian homes they have seized.

Israeli forces killed at least seven Palestinians in the Gaza Strip over the past day, including a World Health Organisation (WHO) worker.
