The panel, moderated by former diplomat Navdeep Suri, included historian Avi Shlaim, activist Noa Avishag Schnall, journalist Ramita Navai, and writer-poet Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, who each highlighted evidence and personal accounts of systematic violence against Palestinians. Panelists called for universal application of international law and criticized selective enforcement, emphasizing the need for sustained civil society engagement to prevent future atrocities. They also highlighted the targeting of Gaza's healthcare system, the importance of amplifying Palestinian voices, and the distinction between Judaism and Zionism, while condemning Western governments for their perceived hypocrisy and complicity.
