"Our Genocide": Israeli human rights groups declare Israel committing genocide in Gaza

B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel have published reports concluding that Israel is committing #genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The organizations document mass killing, destruction of infrastructure, forced displacement, and systematic dismantling of healthcare systems over 21 months of military operations.

According to #haaretz numerous international organizations have reached similar conclusions, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders, and several Israeli genocide researchers and Holocaust scholars.

B'Tselem warns the genocide may expand to other areas where Palestinians live under Israeli rule and calls for urgent international action using all available means under international law to halt the violence.

In a First, Leading Israeli Rights Groups Accuse #Israel of #Gaza#Genocide

Israel says it is fighting against Hamas, not #Palestinians as a group. But 2 of Israel’s best-known #HumanRights groups said Monday that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, adding fuel to a passionately fought international debate over whether the death & destruction there have crossed a moral red line.

I wonder* if all these democratic countries WHO NEVER LISTENED TO B'TSELEM BEFORE, are now finally going to do something besides their favorite stalling tactics ...

* not really. Weapons, surveillance tech, oil and gas are way more important to the neoliberal political class than human lives. Including ours.

…The debate over whether the #war in #Gaza constitutes #genocide has also played out at the #ICJ, where #SouthAfrica has brought a genocide case against #Israel. The court has yet to rule on the matter.

…Genocide has a specific definition in #InternationalLaw: particular acts carried out with intent to destroy a group in whole or in part. The accusation hits a painful nerve for Israel, a state founded after #Nazi Germany’s attempt to exterminate European Jewry.

All together, the Israeli campaign has amounted to “coordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip,” the organization wrote. “In other words: #Israel is committing #genocide against #Palestinians in the #Gaza Strip.”

In a report titled “Our Genocide,” B’Tselem cited the devastating effects of Israel’s war on ordinary #Palestinians to support their claim: the killing of tens of thousands of #Palestinians in #Gaza; the razing of huge areas of Palestinian cities; the forced displacement of nearly all of Gaza’s two million people; the restriction of food & other vital supplies.

The two groups were B’Tselem, a rights monitor that documents the effects of Israeli policies on #Palestinians, & Physicians for #HumanRights — #Israel. Their announcement was the first time major Israeli rights groups have publicly concluded that the #Gaza war is a #genocide, an assessment previously reached by some organizations like #AmnestyInternational.

Starts with a message from the IOF boat to the Handala. Then listen to the Handala activist's response. The sheer class of the reply. Big up Handala

"Let me give you a lesson in international law"

Israel’s genocide isn’t just murdering Palestinians en masse, it’s also destroying any semblance of morality or ethics the West might have purported to possess. International law? Bullshit. European values? Trash. Western democracy? A joke.
