Overview

• IAGS adopted a resolution declaring Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide, drawing internal and external criticism over how the decision was reached.
• Sara Brown and other members say leadership skipped customary debate, did not name the drafters, and saw no listserv discussion before the vote.
• The Free Beacon reports IAGS lists roughly 600 members, with 129 participating and 86% approving, a result that meets a 20% quorum but reflects a small share of total membership.
• Membership is open to a broad range of professions and, critics say, requires little more than paying dues; a wave of new sign-ups using dubious names prompted IAGS to purge recent additions and take down its public member directory.
• Opponents argue the resolution relies on uncorroborated claims and disputed casualty figures, and the association did not respond to requests for comment on the vote or vetting practices.
