‘Reasonable grounds’ to believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, UN rights expert says | CNN

There are “reasonable grounds” to believe Israel is “committing the crime of genocide against the Palestinians as a group in Gaza,” the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories has said.

The “Special Rapporteur on Palestinian territories” has one job, to criticize Israel about its “occupation”. It’s not her job to report that Israel is doing something right, just that it is doing things that affect the population negatively. It isn’t even her job to rationalize whether what Israel does is justified, necessary, or provoked. And if she doesn’t do her job properly she will be replaced by someone who will.

Appointing someone with a clear and obvious bias for one side in a conflict is characteristic of the UN, which is an organization comprised of diplomats assigned to promote the polictical interests of the countries they represent, rather than representing humanity in an impartial and thoughtful manner.

When Albanese or Guterres, both representing an organization whose hostility to Israel is excruciating, make such ludicrous and hypocritical statements, I don’t much care. When anyone makes such a statement, or softens it just to raise compassionate awareness of F@lestinian victims, I ask, “Where was your compassion for Jewish victims over the past several decades, to say nothing of the past two millennia?”

Why does there have to be a "state" ? That's where the bs comes in. Palestinians, Christians and some Jews have been there over 200 years steadily while majority of Jews dispersed and wandered the earth. The first inhabitants of the land were Canaanites then Arabs and Jews came. Then they decide they want to go back and just take over. Israel has their state, that's enough. Send all those dual citizens back to their other country . Zionism is dead to the world. The wolf shed his sheep clothing. The world is watching live as genocide happens. No denying it.
Why do you hide behind a locked profile?! If you're so proud of who you are then show your face.
Why are you so concerned what I believe? You cannot change my mind..


First of all, nobody at the UN are "experts." If they were their employees wouldn't be holding duel appointments in Hamas...

Secondly, was the US and UK committing a genocide in German cities every night and day from 1942-1945? Because that's the true analog here.

The west has become accustomed to low-intensity counterinsurgency/counterterrorism. In those operations your adversaries don't have the near-peer capability to rain rockets and conduct attacks into your homeland. If the people of San Diego were getting routinely barraged and suffering ground attacks from Tijuana, we too would depopulate the city and bomb it to rubble.

Stop trying to force Israel to fight through our reference frame of conflict. We have 2 oceans and 2 friendly neighbors. If we were living under the same threat, we would fight the same way. Our history more than testifies to that.


And it's long been known that hamas, the government Palestinians voted for in their founding charter called for the genocide of all Israelis "from the river to the sea", so as to form a hard line caliphate Luke isis, where girls and women are treated as property and have no rights. This was what Oct 7 was part of, and what hamas government terrorist vowed to continue doing. If hamas terrorist actually cared about the Palestinians, they could stop this at any time, by surrendering leaving the territory. And, Palestinians could end it, by turning in hamas, or exeile them, by they won't, they want the conflict.


It is as if you were a little late with the decision Do you want the people of Gaza to perish completely until you are certain of genocide and famine Praise be to God, on the Day of Resurrection, God, the Mighty, the Just, the Mighty, the Wise, who does not do injustice one iota, will judge between us, and not the Security Council, “the Council of Treason and Injustice,” nor the Court of Justice, “injustice.” “International... Israel and all its allies will collapse soon. Injustice is oppression, and the land will not remain for the occupier. The occupier will perish, but the original owners of the land will remain.”


Anita Joan Every word that comes out of my mouth is like a rock. I don't write a single word without proofs etched in stone behind it. But if you know better than me, you are welcome to tell everyone when the imaginary state of "Palestine" was established? And based on what ethos? What were all the Palestinian prime ministers of that lost country called? Who was the last prime minister of that country who was forced to submit to Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in 1948? And what did the flag of this country look like before 1948? Because this flag was only designed for the first time in 1964 when the PLO organization was founded. And what did the state symbols look like, and what did the national anthem sound like? And where was their parliament located and where is the law book today? There are of course many more open questions, but the main question is why are you echoing messages from Islamist religious terrorist organizations without checking if they are even true?

I believe nothing coming out of the UN. However, let’s say for argument’s sake that Israel is. Did not Hamas deserve whatever they are getting? Did they not kill women and children? Did they not cut a pregnant woman’s baby out of her stomach, kill the baby in front of her, then, shoot her in front of her family. I honestly don’t care what Israel does to the Palestinian people! They harbor Hamas and allow them to use schools and hospitals to launch missile attacks. They deserve all they are getting and then some. Israel has had enough, and I stand with them!!


Din Zaki no hostage releases, they going to die all both two parties so that fair and also the dead of Palistine shall pay wed dead of Israel. All of the development infrastructure of Israel must be turned into rubble or ashes so that justice is victory and the same arms embargo both so that no war proceeds. And the woman of Palistine shall be married by Israel and the woman of Israel shall be married by Palistine and put into one people, one flag, one country, one nation one heart. Kiss and hug to all. And tried to love one another so that peace is winning


10ºIsrael leaders what is wrong with you why are you so sick and disgusting that you would do that to a child .We are witnessing today an indescribable humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip, where the Palestinian people are subjected to destruction, bombing and siege by the Israeli occupation. Thousands of innocent people have lost their lives and more have been injured, and their homes, schools and hospitals have been demolished. Water, medicine and electricity have been cut off from the Strip, increasing their suffering and depriving them of their basic rights. They have been exposed to genocide and ethnic cleansing by an oppressive force that wants to erase their identity and history. The internet has been cut off from the Strip, preventing the dissemination of a true picture of what is happening there and silencing their voice to the world. These atrocities that we see for the first time in modern times call for our solidarity and action as humanity, as we cannot remain silent or ignore what is happening to our brothers in Palestine. We demand an immediate halt to the aggression on Gaza and the lifting of the siege on it and an end to the occupation, injustice and violations that the Palestinian people are subjected to. We call on the international community, the United Nations and humanitarian organizations to intervene urgently to save the lives of civilians in Gaza and relieve the afflicted and uphold the right and justice. We affirm our absolute support for the Palestinian people in their legitimate struggle against colonialism, discrimination and oppression. Palestine is in our hearts and souls, and we do not accept anything less than its freedom and dignity.
