Israel committing genocide in Gaza according to Amnesty International report

ai generated text

Amnesty International has declared that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. This declaration is based on their research and conclusion that Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip meets the legal threshold for genocide.

Israel Foreign Ministry
1. The deplorable and fanatical organization Amnesty International has once again produced a fabricated report that is entirely false and based on lies.
Oren Marmorstein
Israel Foreign Ministry
1. The genocidal massacre on 7 October 2023, was carried out by the Hamas terrorist organisation against Israeli citizens.
Agnès Callamard
Amnesty International
1. Our damning findings must serve as a wake-up call to the international community: this is genocide. It must stop now.
2. Month after month, Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its intent to physically destroy them.
3. Our research reveals that, for months, Israel has persisted in committing genocidal acts, fully aware of the irreparable harm it was inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza.
4. Taking into account the pre-existing context of dispossession, apartheid and unlawful military occupation in which these acts have been committed, we could find only one reasonable conclusion: Israel's intent is the physical destruction of Palestinians in Gaza.
5. It continued to do so in defiance of countless warnings about the catastrophic humanitarian situation and of legally binding decisions from the International Court of Justice [ICJ] ordering Israel to take immediate measures to enable the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza.
6. There is absolutely no doubt that Israel has military objectives. But the existence of military objectives does not negate the possibility of a genocidal intent.
7. Governments must stop pretending they are powerless to end this genocide, which was enabled by decades of impunity for Israel's violations of international law.
Amnesty International
1. Amnesty International concedes that identifying genocide in armed conflict is complex and challenging, because of the multiple objectives that may exist simultaneously. Nonetheless, it is critical to recognise genocide, and to insist that war can never excuse it.
2. The presence of Hamas fighters near or within a densely populated area does not absolve Israel from its obligations to take all feasible precautions to spare civilians and avoid indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks.
Erika Guevara Rosas
Amnesty International
1. For AI there is no hierarchy of crimes, but we have given priority to genocide because it is being committed and we must do everything possible to put an end to it.
2. We have eyes in Gaza that have worked under our standards of rigor and objectivity, and we do not give an opinion.
