Leah Gazan has taken a stance against Israel’s actions in Gaza, suggesting they plausibly constitute genocide according to the International Court of Justice. Drawing on her family’s history as Holocaust survivors, she has passionately called for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel, and thorough investigations into potential war crimes by the International Criminal Court and the ICJ. Gazan has also expressed deep concern over the rise of anti-Palestinian racism and has defended the rights of student protestors advocating for divestment from companies supporting Israel’s military operations, linking the Palestinian struggle to broader issues of human rights and social justice.
