History

Historical Context

The 1994 Rwandan genocide, ignited by the 6 April plane crash, killed roughly 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus and saw the UN peacekeeping force withdraw after ten soldiers were killed, drawing worldwide criticism. In 2026, actors Adam Brody, Wallace Shawn and Hannah Einbinder called Israel’s Gaza offensive genocide, echoing those accountability demands and urging the International Criminal Court and the United States to reassess legal thresholds.
