Video released by Israel purporting to show Sinwar’s final moments was met by his supporters as a rousing example of their leader’s battlefield bravery.
Omg this site is disturbing. Removing content for "Genocide denial" wtf??
About 2% of a population has been impacted. That does not equal a genocide. If you want to know what a genocide looks like, see the Holocaust. Not to mention most of the numbers being reported are from terrorists and cannot be trusted nor verified.
You are making up your own internet reality.
So you disagree with me. Going to remove me or my comment? Silence the discussion?
I do believe that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, but you missed an important part of the definition from your source:
with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical (sic), racial or religions (sic) group
Doing one of the above actions alone isn't enough to be classified as genocide, it has to be done with systematic intent to destroy the group. That's the bit that's much harder to actually prove, because it requires having insider knowledge of Israel's military complex.
On 26 January 2024, the ICJ said that it was plausible that Israel had breached the Genocide Convention. As an emergency measure, it ordered Israel ensure that its army refrained from genocidal acts against Palestinians.
The ICJ reported, as part of its decisions in March and May, that the situation in Gaza had deteriorated and that Israel had failed to abide by its order in January.
So, when we look at the actions taken, the dropping of thousands and thousands of bombs in a couple of days, including phosphorus bombs, as we heard, on one of the most densely populated areas around the world, together with these proclamations of intent, this indeed constitutes genocidal killing, which is the first act, according to the convention, of genocide. And Israel, I must say, is also perpetrating act number two and three — that is, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and creating condition designed to bring about the destruction of the group by cutting off water, food, supply of energy, bombing hospitals, ordering the fast evictions of hospitals, which the World Health Organization has declared to be, quote, “a death sentence.” So, we’re seeing the combination of genocidal acts with special intent. This is indeed a textbook case of genocide.
More than 800 scholars of international law and genocide have signed a public statement arguing that the Israeli military may be committing genocidal acts against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as the total siege and relentless airstrikes continue to inflict devastation on the occupied territory.
An independent United Nations expert warned Monday that "Israel's genocidal violence risks leaking out of Gaza and into the occupied Palestinian territory as a whole" as Western governments, corporations, and other institutions keep up their support for the Israeli military, which stands accused of grave war crimes in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Our documentation encompasses over 500 incitements of violence and genocidal incitement, appearing in the forms of social media posts, television interviews, and official statements from Israeli politicians, army personnel, journalists, and other influential personalities.
Israel also targets Israeli Soldiers and Civilians to prevent them being leveraged as hostages, known as the Hannibal Directive. Which was also used on Oct 7th.
