UN Calls It Israeli Genocide In Palestine

A United Nations commission of inquiry announcing that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza is like saying that they found that rain is wet because you would need to be ignorant on an industrial scale to not see what they are doing is genocidal.
The 72 page report found that Israel has committed, and continue to commit, four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law: Killing members of a group, Causing them serious bodily and mental harm, Deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy the group and Preventing births, which was a law which ironically was written by Jews after the Holocaust to prosecute the Nazi's.
It cites statements by Israeli leaders, and the pattern of conduct by Israeli forces, as evidence and the 64,964 people which is widely seen as an under-count, have been killed in Israeli attacks which have seen residential and UN buildings, hospitals, schools, safe zones and civilians targeted as well as the deliberate famine and murder of starving civilians collecting food and water which was imposed by the Israeli Government.
Israel's foreign ministry, as expected, said it categorically rejected the report, denouncing it as: 'distorted and antisemitic' although that much used and now watered down phrase is negated when the report also found Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups guilty of war crimes in Gaza.
The Israeli have always insisted that Israeli forces operate in accordance with international law and take all feasible measures to mitigate harm to civilians so maybe they are just really, really bad at it but more than likely the Qatar Emir hit the nail on the head when he said that Israel wants to make Gaza uninhabitable in order to displace its population and  ethnically cleanse that piece of land.
The Report includes  a line warning all other countries that they have have an immediate obligation under the Genocide Convention to prevent and punish the crime of genocide and if they do not, they could be complicit which means America mostly as they continue to not only supply the weapons to continue the genocide but fund it also.
A number of international and even Israeli human rights organisations, independent UN experts, and scholars have previously accused Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued arrest warrants for Hamas and Israeli leaders accused of genocide.
That the victim of genocide is now the perpetrator of one is a shame that an ever more isolated Israel will now have to contend with forever.
