“The difference between a war and a genocide is that a war tries to change, by force, the present in order to shape the future whereas a genocide destroys the present and the past in order to prevent the future from ever happening” Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah.

Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah plays an instrumental role in the Forensic Architecture film ‘When it stopped being a war’: The Situated Testimony of Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah which analyses available data to determine who was behind the bombing. Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah is a vocal eyewitness to Israel’s war on Gaza and in January 2024 he gave evidence to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for South Africa's genocide case against Israel. He was due to talk at the International Criminal Court in May but was prevented by a travel ban put in place by Germany, a ban which was later ruled unlawful. The ICC has since issued arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, the county’s former defence minister Yoav Gallant and the Hamas leader Mohammed Deif for alleged war crimes relating to the Gaza war.Since Israel’s indiscriminate bombing campaign using pagers in Lebanon and their ensuing bombing campaign on Lebanon, Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah has been volunteering at the American University Medical Centre in Beirut.
