There is an increasing consensus that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza because the evidence is overwhelming. Here is a reminder of some of the available and useful resources: An initial syllabus: 13 October 2023, Raz Segal, jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-cas… 15 October 2023: Public…
Gaza’s “last lifelines keeping people alive are collapsing,” according to the @UN. Children are starving. In recent weeks, Israeli forces have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians seeking food aid, per the UN. Learn more:
Their arguments have run out of road
1. Notice how genocide-deniers/ Zionist propagandists are simply rehashing same claims we've heard since Jan. 2024, as if nothing has happened since then?
"What matters is not what they say. It is what they do – including whether they impose sanctions and comprehensive arms embargos, and suspend preferential trade terms. Recognition of a Palestinian state is part of a necessary response, but not the only or most important issue."
"To deliberately inflict starvation upon a society is to take it to pieces. The genocide convention prohibits “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"This “sociology of starvation” was outlined by Raphael Lemkin, the lawyer and Holocaust survivor who coined the word genocide then campaigned for it to be recognised as a crime in international law, de Waal said".

Mass starvation is stalking Gaza and children are starving before our eyes. We need an immediate and permanent ceasefire now. Israel must lift its blockade on aid and Hamas must release the hostages. The genocide must stop.
Genocide.

🧵 1/ “There is no prior experience in my five decades of humanitarian experience that can come close to comparison to the horror we are all seeing in Gaza” - Martin Griffiths tells @MiddleEastEye in a wide-ranging interview.
To put this in context, the terrible 1929 Hebron Massacre, one of the worst tragedies suffered by the Jewish community in Mandate Palestine, resulted in 69 innocent deaths. It has been the subject of many books and studies, and is still constantly referenced. Now around double…

Mayor of London: children are starving in Gaza, soldiers are killing aid seekers. UK Government should pressure Israel to stop it. Jewish Leadership Council: you should not have said it; you are undermining community relations. Yes, show us who you really are.
