"Should Mr. Musk argue that he “did not mean” to flash the Nazi salute, or that he was doing some other arm gesture, we ask Americans to respond with critical thinking. Is it possible that any person – especially in South Africa [...] or the USA [...] – is unaware of this salute or what it means?"

"Nazism must be fought everywhere it rears its head. It imbues more generic forms of fascism with racialized fantasies of natural hierarchies of humanity and always calls for the elimination of certain groups from society in the name of self-preservation."

I should also add for context that the Lemkin Institute evolved out of The Iraq Project for Genocide Prevention and Accountability and is named for but not associated with Raphael Lemkin who developed the definition of genocide, or his descendants.
