Israel committing genocide in Gaza, world's leading experts say
01.09.2025 22:01 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0If Israel is willing to target and kill journalists in a hospital with double tap strikes over a camera (a fucking camera, like WTF), what is it doing when it believes there are actual Hamas figures?
These war crimes will not stop until those responsible are held to account.
"As of February 2025, the only reasonable inference from the cumulative evidence is that Israel’s conduct in Gaza constitutes genocide." - @itamann.bsky.social
Eleven international law experts were asked: is there genocide in Gaza. Nine said yes. www.lto.de/recht/hinter...

Courageous and important lawyering including by my wonderful colleague, Elena Cohen!
In response to the formal request of Minister Riyad Mansour, State of Palestine's Permanent Observer to the UN, during the August 10 UN Security Council Meeting, for "an immediate international protection force to save the Palestinian people from certain death," DAWN issues the following statement:

Time Has Run Out: Mass Starvation in Gaza and the Global Imperative at www.justsecurity.org/117962/mass-...
"a lot of the children have already passed the point of no return where [...] even refeeding could potentially cause death itself.” This is at minimum extermination as a CAH
The UN has determined that the “worst-case scenario of Famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip.”
Alex DeWaal and @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social call for all States to fulfill their moral, legal, and basic human imperatives now by ensuring comprehensive humanitarian action.

Many have asked: If Israel were truly committing this crime, wouldn’t it look different? Wouldn’t it be faster, larger in scale or more spectacular in form?”

"Every political hesitation" in failing to bring the "abhorrent" practice of extreme deprivation and indiscriminate attacks to an immediate and decisive end "will forever be judged as a collective failure to preserve humanity in war"
States "must do more"
I wrote a few things on starvation/famine and ICL nearly a decade ago. I figured it was not going to be relevant moving forward, yet he we r, witnessing at bare minimum a slow process of extermination (as a CAH) unfold in Gaza. It’s just so sad and pathetic.

A grave and shameful attack, in a very long line of attacks by the US, on the UnIted Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.
She and her predecessors have always faced smears and hostility for their work on Palestine but this is a serious and disgraceful escalation.
