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.”
…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.

Images from an amazing stay at Sanbona Dwyka Tented Camp in May, one of many unique stops on my Western Cape photo safaris. We had an action packed three days on the #wildlife reserve, including female lionesses on a Kudu carcass, approaching cheetah cubs on foot, and extraordinary close encounters with elephants. Sanbona is located in the Little Karoo, an area that boasts an abundance of plant biodiversity.
