Whistleblower reveals corruption of IAGS standards and practices in a rush to pass its anti-Israel genocide resolution.

8. In the context of the USUAL IAGS procedure for voting on any resolution,

the process was corrupt from start to finish as was the claim that the group had reached actual consensus before the announcement.

The tip off was in IAGS's headline:"86% of the members who voted"

The fact is that out of 500 members, 126 voted. In other words, a mere 25.2% membership participated in the vote for the anonymous resolution distributed through a listserv. 109 members of the those who voted wanted the resolution passed.

In other words, 21.8% (not 86%) of the IAGS members voted in favor of the resolution vilifying Israel.

And due to its "you too can be a genocide scholar© if you pay us $30" policy, 20% of the IAGS members are currently located in Iran. That information was available to journalists at the time that the story about the scam resolution broke.

The announcement simply acknowledges that IAGS has deleted its twitter account and closed down access to its membership list in an effort at damage control concerning the scam resolution that 78.2% of IAGS members did not vote to pass.
