Context filed with this release.

A documentary voice is held in place without decorative distance.

Genocide fixes a documentary voice in place and resists decorative distance. The single treats naming as a moral act: testimony is repeated plainly so that political violence cannot disappear behind softer language.

It's because the economy of the occupation has turned into an economy of genocide. And so there have been people and organizations that have profited from the violence, the killing, the maiming, the destruction in Gaza and in other parts of the occupied Palestinian territory My report exposes a system, something that is so structural and so widespread and so systemic that there is no possibility to fix it and redress it. It has to be dismantled. Do you understand the performance of stupidity that we have all been part of for decades? And now it's the time to stop. If 60,000 people killed do not push us to take in seriously international obligations, then we really, really beyond the pale. This is not a war. This is a genocidal campaign. And it's clear and now it's either carried out under the pretense of humanitarian food distribution. This is a death trap. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is absolutely a death trap. I wouldn't know how to call the 600 people who have been killed while trying to reach aid. This is the most, I mean, the term humanitarian absolutely cannot be utilized in a serious fashion toward that thing. Because humanitarian aid must follow certain principles: the principle of humanity, the principle of dignity, the principle of protection of human life, so creating no harm. This creates harm. It's not a dignified way to distribute food and aid. It's ludicrous that international community is not forcing, is not breaking the blockade because this is the only sensible thing that should be done right now. This is the only sensible thing that should be done right now.
