Amnesty International’s new landmark report concludes that Israeli authorities have committed – and still are committing – genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.

Who even cares what these organizations say?
We’ve all seen the videos of children being burned alive, we’ve seen the (ultra conservative) death tolls, we’ve heard the Jewish statements calling the Arabs “human animals” and saying they are going to use food and water as weapons.
We didn’t need to wait 14 months for Amnesty to officially say “your eyes are indeed telling you the truth.”
A report from Amnesty International alleges that Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip constitutes the crime of genocide under international law, the first such determination by a major human rights organisation in the 14-month-old conflict.The 32-page report examining events in Gaza between October 2023 to July 2024, published on Thursday, found that Israel had “brazenly, continuously and with total impunity … unleashed hell” on the strip’s 2.3 million population, noting that the “atrocity crimes” against Israelis by Hamas on 7 October 2023, which triggered the war, “do not justify genocide”.
Imagine if some guy murdered his neighbor and then hid in a Christmas parade and the government responded by carpet bombing the parade. That is what Israel was doing at the beginning of the war – or rather, what they claimed to be doing. They would do bombings and kill hundreds of people in refugee camps, schools, mosques, churches, and hospitals and claim it was justified because there was one Hamas guy there. But it was obvious that they were just using this as an excuse to do indiscriminate bombing of civilians.
Israel has “committed prohibited acts under the Genocide Convention, namely killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and deliberately inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction” with the “specific intent to destroy Palestinians” in the territory, the report said.It marks the first time Amnesty has alleged the crime of genocide during an ongoing conflict, and builds on a March report by the UN special rapporteur for Palestine that concluded “there are reasonable grounds to believe” Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians.
Yes. The UN reported after five months and then Amnesty waited another nine months.
Is this organization run by Jews??
“Our damning findings must serve as a wake-up call: this is genocide and it must stop now,” Agnès Callamard, the group’s secretary general, said in a news conference on Wednesday.Amnesty cited the deliberate obstruction of aid and power supplies together with “massive damage, destruction and displacement”, leading to the collapse of water, sanitation, food and healthcare systems, in what it called a “pattern of conduct” within the context of the occupation and blockade of Gaza.
“We did not necessarily start out thinking we would come to this conclusion. We knew there was a risk of genocide, as the international court of justice said,” Budour Hassan, Amnesty’s Israel and occupied Palestinian territories researcher, told the Guardian. “When you join the dots together, the totality of the evidence, it is not just violations of international law. This is something deeper.”
…
Amnesty has called on the UN to enforce a ceasefire, impose targeted sanctions on Israeli and top Hamas officials, and for western governments such as the US, the UK and Germany to stop providing security assistance and selling arms to Israel.
Good luck with that.
The rights group has also urged the international criminal court, which last month issued arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the former defence minister Yoav Gallant, to add genocide to the list of war crimes it is investigating.…
Amnesty said the report was based on fieldwork, interviews with 212 people, including victims, witnesses and healthcare workers in Gaza, analysis of extensive visual and digital evidence, and more than 100 statements from Israeli government and military actors it said amounted to “dehumanising discourse”. It also used video and photo evidence of soldiers committing or celebrating war crimes.
Video and photo evidence that was widely available, posted by the Jews themselves, as soon as the “war” started. There is simply no excuse for this taking so long, and this organization should be disbanded.
It should be replaced with the Hamas agents in UNRWA.
The Government of Israel is running a global disinformation campaign targeting UNRWA, the largest humanitarian provider for people in war-torn #Gaza.
The act of Israel, a UN member state, to label UNRWA, a UN agency, as a terror organisation may amount to hate speech.
