Human beings are, relatively speaking, absent from the scene of perpetrating genocide in its "modern" form, and only the victims are visible. This evolved form of genocide conceals its perpetrators and those complicit in it.
It operates through policies, procedures and the instruments of mechanised, technological and digital warfare, including artificial intelligence, unlike the atrocities of the past, when those wielding tools of killing and terror appeared directly, shouting as they beheaded victims or burned homes.
Israeli occupation soldiers, for instance, have carried out the bombardment of civilian neighbourhoods in the Gaza Strip from within warplanes and tanks, while drone operators remain in air-conditioned environments inside distant military bases, or station themselves in Palestinian homes they have seized.
Behind these largely unseen officers and soldiers stand leaders, officials, policymakers and implementers of procedures, as well as developers of weapons, munitions and software, alongside military, political and economic backers and propagandists of modern genocide, who often appear in mild, respectable guise, sometimes wearing silk ties.

An Israeli court has drawn criticism after closing an investigation into the death of a Palestinian teenager in custody, despite finding indications he had been starved prior to his death.
