Aug. 10, 2025 - As the Israeli assault in Gaza approaches the two-year mark, the extent of Israel’s crimes becomes clearer by the day. So too does the complicity of other countries who have refused to uphold international law.
In Blowing Up Everything Is Beautiful: Israel’s Extermination of Gaza (buy the book HERE), released in April by Skyhorse Publishing, award-winning journalist James Robins puts forward a meticulous, damning account of Israeli actions in Gaza from October 2023 to January 2025. By matching military decisions and tactics to public statements made by Israeli leaders, Robins seeks to establish the genocidal intent required for conviction by the International Criminal Court. At the same time, Robins shows how widespread apathy in the face of these violations has revealed a profound disintegration of international law.
Cal Turner and Sara Van Horn spoke with Robins for Jacobin about the flaws in international frameworks governing genocide, how the Israeli military skirts legal condemnation, and why Gaza must be understood as a dividing line in world history.
