IT’S GENOCIDE: Top Israeli human rights groups accuse country of carrying out gravest crime
Netanyahu says Israel will not stop until it achieves its goals
B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, two top Israeli human rights groups, issued new reports on Monday that accused Tel Aviv of carrying out a genocide in Gaza – the first time these two groups accused the country of carrying out the world’s gravest crime.
Yuli Novak, the group’s executive director, said in a statement that there is nothing that can prepare you for the “realization that you are part of a society committing genocide. This is a deeply painful moment for us.”
The Israelis (with the full support of the Trump administration) have been carrying out mass killings through direct attacks and “catastrophic living conditions,” the “large-scale destruction of infrastructure,” and the destruction of the Palestinian social fabric, which includes the targeting of educational and cultural sites, according to the report titled “Our Genocide.”
The group said it reached the “unequivocal conclusion” that the Israelis are carrying out a “coordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip.”
The Israeli leadership has rejected such claims in the past.
The Trump administration has been fierce defenders of “Israel’s right to defend itself” after the Hamas attack and last month sanctioned four judges from the International Criminal Court over their decision to issue an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his previous defense minister, Yoav Gallant, based on allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Netanyahu said Monday that Israel is “not giving up on our goals”… “not even for a minute.”
The B’Tselem report noted that Tel Aviv has carried out mass arrests “and abuse of detainees in Israeli prisons, which have effectively become torture camps for thousands of Palestinians held without trial” and the mass forced displacement, “including attempts at ethnic cleansing and making the latter an official war goal; and an assault on Palestinian identity through the deliberate destruction of refugee camps and attempts to undermine the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.”
There is growing anger directed towards Israel and the U.S. for co-signing the massacre campaign.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who has been fully committed to Israel’s genocide, told reporters in Turnberry, Scotland, on Monday that he was “not particularly” convinced that Israel has been truthful that there is no starvation inside Gaza.
“Based on television, I would say not particularly because those children look very hungry. There is real starvation in Gaza… you can’t fake that,” he said.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that Madrid will airdrop 12 tons of food into Gaza because the “famine in Gaza is a shame for all of humanity and stopping it, therefore, is a moral imperative.”
Axios reported that on Sunday, the IDF, the UAE, and Jordan conducted several air drops over Gaza.
Gallant, the defense minister, said Israel will impose a complete siege on Gaza and said it was fighting “human animals.”
“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said.
Netanyahu said clearly that Palestinians are not human beings, but rather human animals.
“They’re subhuman and that’s how they should be treated,” he said. “Eradicate the memory of Amalek, and never forget.”
Netanyahu has called the current war in Gaza a holy war and said during a recent press conference that Israelis would do well to remember “what Amalek has done to you.”
Israeli President Isaac Herzog said, “It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. It’s not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true. … and we will fight until we break their backbone.”
TRENDPOST: The New York Times reported that there is an increasing amount of moral outrage in Israeli society over the Gaza genocide.
Tamar Parush, 56, a lecturer in sociology at Sapir College in southern Israel, told the paper that the country seems to be on the “edge of the abyss.”
“Revenge is not a policy. We could have fought a smarter war,” Parush said.
The report noted in that there was a survey in May that found 64.5 percent of Israelis were “not at all, or not very, concerned about the humanitarian situation in Gaza” and nearly 75 percent thought the IDF should not consider the humanitarian suffering in in planning.
Of course, that’s the only poll that Netanyahu cares about so he can maintain his rule.
