Endorsed by: Carleton Jewish On Our Own Terms · Carleton Latin American Student Organization · Carleton Students for Justice in Palestine · Carleton Wellstone House · Members of Carleton Faculty for Justice in Palestine · St Olaf Students for Justice in Palestine · American Muslims for Palestine-MN · Jewish Voice for Peace-Twin Cities.
A graduate of Tel Aviv University in Israel and with a PhD from Clark University (the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies), Segal is now an Associate Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies and Endowed Professor in the Study of Modern Genocide at Stockton University, in Galloway, N.J.
As the Israeli response to the Hamas-led Oct 7 attacks began, Segal presciently wrote an article on Oct 13 titled “A Textbook Case of Genocide: Israel has been explicit about what it’s carrying out in Gaza. Why isn’t the world listening?” which was published in the magazine Jewish Currents. He has been both widely praised and attacked for his writing. Since then, other Holocaust and Genocide Studies scholars have written and talked about Israel’s attack on Gaza as genocide.
On June 5, 2024, the University of Minnesota extended an offer to Dr. Segal to assume the directorship of its Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Less than a week later, on June 10, the University of Minnesota, responding to external pressure, rescinded that offer, even as Israel’s assault on Palestinians continues unabated.
