UN Conclusively Rules Israel Is Committing Genocide In Gaza | #novaralive

Quick Overview

A United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry has conclusively ruled that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, citing evidence of killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, inflicting conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction, and imposing measures to prevent births, with four of these five genocidal acts confirmed since October 2023, including the targeting of children and the destruction of a fertility clinic, while also noting Britain's complicity through material support and the broader failure of the international community to act despite being put on notice by the ICJ.

Key Points: The UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry has definitively ruled that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, stating in its report that "the commission finds it is genocide." The report confirms four of the five genocidal acts defined under international law have been carried out by Israel since October 2023: killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction, and imposing measures intended to prevent births. Evidence cited includes "Israeli security forces shot at and killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags," with "some children, including toddlers, kids as young as two and three, were shot on purpose in the head by trained snipers." The fourth genocidal act, "imposing measures intended to prevent births," refers to Israel's attack on Gaza's largest fertility clinic in December 2023, which destroyed "thousands of embryos, sperm samples, and unfertilized eggs." The report uses statements from Israeli politicians and military leaders as evidence, yet Israel dismisses it as "baseless" and based on "Hamas lies." The international community, including the UK, is deemed complicit due to material support and a failure to act after the International Court of Justice put every country on notice on January 26, 2024, regarding a "plausible risk of genocide." The transcript criticizes the "two-state solution" as a framework that "denies Palestinians the right to a state" and serves as a "useful bargaining tool" rather than a genuine path to peace, suggesting a need to change the state of Israel itself.
