Thirty years ago the world failed to stop the Rwandan genocide. Now we fail Gaza | Chris McGreal

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : The Rwandan genocide was also a spur for the establishment of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, adopted by all countries at the UN in 2005.
41% : Guilt at the inaction prompted the UN to establish an international tribunal to try those who led the genocide.
37% : As the head of the World Health Organization, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said on Sunday, the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel "does not justify the horrific ongoing bombardment, siege and health system demolition by Israel in Gaza, killing, injuring and starving hundreds of thousands of civilians, including aid workers".
11% : Even as evidence of the atrocities mounted, Bill Clinton ordered his own staff not to call the killings a genocide, because that would have drawn political and legal pressures for US intervention and blocked the United Nations security council from sending troops to stop the slaughter.
