Excerpts from the website of the Gaza Genocide Center
Launch event
Thank you for launching the Center with us
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, we gathered in Santa Clara, California, for an evening of testimony, remembrance, and resolve, marking the public launch of the Gaza Genocide Center: a permanent, evidence-based record of the genocide in Gaza, and the community that will sustain it.
Professor John Mearsheimer, the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, gave the keynote. He is the author of The Tragedy of Great Power Politics and co-author of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, and has been among the most prominent voices insisting that the destruction of Gaza be named, documented, and judged for what it is.
Laila El-Haddad, co-editor of Gaza Unsilenced, author of Gaza Mom, and co-author of The Gaza Kitchen, gave remarks. A writer, political analyst, and policy advisor to Al-Shabaka, the Palestinian Policy Network, she has spent two decades carrying Gaza’s daily life into rooms that would otherwise never encounter it.
