The news is major considering it’s the first such conclusion made by a leading human rights organization since the conflict in Gaza began. The report comprising 32 pages examined several leading events in Gaza between the period of October 2023 to July 2024.
It goes on to explain in detail how Israel’s actions are a complete violation of human rights. How innocent lives were attacked was said to be equal to unleashing hell on a population comprising 2.3 million individuals. There is so much evidence mentioned about how the behavior justifies genocide.
The behavior of Israel included killing many innocent individuals and causing serious bodily and mental harm. It deliberately inflicted conditions that made it hard for anyone in the region to survive. It was highlighted as physical destruction of the worst kind with the intent to destroy the Palestinian race.
This is also the first time that the Human Rights group used the term genocide and it’s directly in line with the report rolled out by the UN about Israel’s crime. These damning reports serve as a serious wake-up call and the organization says it’s about time that this stops right now.
To purposely destroy human life and block aid and power to Palestinians is unacceptable, the secretary general explained during the conference. This led to a serious collapse of the food, water, and health system which repeated with the occupation of Israeli forces.
They did not necessarily think that this would be the end result. It was risky in terms of being called genocide but now Amnesty International says there’s no doubt about what Israel is doing when all dots join together. It’s a complete violation of international law, it concludes.
Most allegations relate to the massive amount of military offensive arising with death rates hitting peak levels. Many civilians lost their lives for no reason. Attacks carried out on populated areas like medical facilities were also enlisted in the crimes committed by Israel.
Israel is obliged legally to provide for the civilians in the occupied population. The offensive carried out on Rafah was the last point which led to this conclusion, the report stated. Israel was well aware that this was a point for aid and how many people would arrive there. Still, they chose to attack, and that led to many killed. In defense, Israel tried to cover that up by claiming the attack was aimed at Hamas militants.
The report now calls for a ceasefire and a law to roll out target sanctions against leading Hamas and Israeli officials. At the same time, it wants leading world powers like the US, the UK, and Germany to put an end to security assistance and ban selling weapons to Israel.
It’s similarly pledging the international criminal court to roll out arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister. Last but not least, it wants the unconditional release of civilians held as hostages for both Hamas and Palestinian armed forces who carried out crimes on October 7.
