      War crime, massacre, crime against humanity, if you like

      I know you like.

      but it’s no genocide.

      It is nothing but genocide and you love it for that reason.

      Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines it like this: https://www.un.org/en/genocide-prevention/definition

      "In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

      Killing members of the group;

      Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

      Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

      Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

      Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

      So ANY of the above listed acts qualify as genocide. You only need ONE to qualify.

      Israel has gone 5 for 5:

      Killing members of the group
      Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group

      https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/1/22/live-israel-kills-10-in-the-west-bank-120-bodies-found-in-gaza-in-2-days

      “Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 47,107 Palestinians and wounded 111,147 since October 7, 2023.”

      Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part

      https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2jld7j50eo

      “The area in Gaza which Israel’s military has told people to go to “for their safety” has been hit by 97 strikes since May, BBC Verify analysis has revealed”

      https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/16/middleeast/israel-palestinian-evacuation-orders-invs/index.html

      "The Israeli Defense Forces issued the guidance Friday, telling all civilians in north Gaza to evacuate to areas south of Wadi Gaza “for your own safety and the safety of your families” as the IDF continues “to operate significantly in Gaza City and make extensive efforts to avoid harming civilians.”

      However, some Palestinians who followed the evacuation warnings and fled their homes in search of safety suffered the very fate they were running from: Israeli airstrikes killed them outside of the evacuation zone."

      Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group

      https://www.savethechildren.net/news/women-self-inducing-labour-and-facing-life-threatening-complications-pregnancy-after-nine

      “With the decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system and significant restrictions on the work of aid agencies, pregnant women and new mothers have not had access to the basic health and nutrition requirements as per international standards, said Save the Children. This has caused severe mental and physical harm to many of the mothers and their babies, with some taking extreme measures to try to protect their unborn children.”

      https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/more-women-and-children-killed-gaza-israeli-military-any-other-recent-conflict

      “More women and children killed in Gaza by Israeli military than any other recent conflict in a single year – Oxfam”

      Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

      https://www.savethechildren.net/news/palestinian-children-israeli-military-detention-report-increasingly-violent-conditions

      “Three organisations tracking the detention of children in the occupied Palestinian territory said they have gathered child testimonies – seen by Save the Children - showing that levels of violence have increased since stricter rules were introduced in October blocking visits from parents or lawyers. Some children have reported broken bones and beatings.”

      https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/over-38-000-palestinian-children-orphaned-by-israeli-war-on-gaza-official/3460181

      "More than 38,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned by Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, a Health Ministry official said on Thursday.

      “At least 13,901 women were also widowed by the war,” Zaher al-Wahidi told Anadolu.

      The Palestinian official explained that some 32,151 children lost their fathers, 4,417 lost their mothers, and 1,918 lost both parents."

      https://www.npr.org/2024/03/13/1238227682/orphans-gaza-rafah-israel-west-bank-sos-childrens-village-international

      “An international non-profit organization has evacuated 68 children without parental care as well as 11 employees and their families from Rafah, in southern Gaza, to the Israeli-occupied West Bank.”

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
