The American Historical Association, the country's largest group of professional historians, has voted to condemn Israel's military action in Gaza, arguing that the destruction of the enclave's education infrastructure amounts to 'scholasticide.' The resolution, introduced by the group Historians for Peace and Democracy, calls for a permanent cease-fire and for the association to form a committee to assist in rebuilding Gaza's educational infrastructure. The vote reflects political and generational divides within the association, with many young and diverse members supporting the resolution. The resolution's passage marks a new phase in the cultural battles over the Israel-Hamas war.
