Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, UN commission of inquiry says

Source: BBC News

A United Nations commission of inquiry says Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
A new report says there are reasonable grounds to conclude that four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out since the start of the war with Hamas in 2023: killing members of a group, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy the group, and preventing births.

It cites statements by Israeli leaders, and the pattern of conduct by Israeli forces, as evidence of genocidal intent.

The aim of course, is to clear the area of people and buildings. (Violent methods preferred.)

Once that is achieved, Israel can declare it 'free and unoccupied' land and settle it.

Nothing personal.

Slow process, but it is getting there.

UN, now what? A stiff letter of reprimand?

Its like Ukraine now--its not the news of the day anymore, so the mainstream has lost interest.

A joint project between Bibi and trump to completely level everything, including the people, so they can build that ocean-front resort. Thick as thieves, as the saying goes. For the children who survive, the hatred they feel now for Israel robbing them of their homeland, their culture, and families will continue to grow. Netanyahu has guaranteed there will never be peace now.
