Amnesty International said in its annual human rights report that Israel is carrying out a “live-streamed genocide” as the world looks on.
“Since 7 October 2023 – when Hamas perpetrated horrific crimes against Israeli citizens and others and captured more than 250 hostages – the world has been made audience to a live-streamed genocide,” Amnesty Secretary-General Agnes Callamard said in an introduction to the report.
“States watched on as if powerless, as Israel killed thousands upon thousands of Palestinians, wiping out entire multigenerational families, destroying homes, livelihoods, hospitals, and schools,” Callamard added.
The report said that Israel was committing the crime of genocide by “killing Palestinian civilians, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and deliberately inciting conditions of life calculated to bring about Palestinians’ physical destruction by causing mass forced displacement, obstructing or denying lifesaving aid, and by damaging or destroying life-sustaining infrastructure.”
Amnesty first concluded Israel was committing genocide in Gaza in a report published in December 2024. The US has rejected the conclusion and has opposed the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice since US officials are implicated due to US military aid and other types of support for Israel.
The new Amnesty report criticized some aspects of the domestic situation in the US and the US government’s support for Israel. “The continued supply of munitions to Israel violated US laws and policies regarding the transfer and sale of arms, intended to prevent arms transfers that risk contributing to civilian harm and violations of human rights or international humanitarian law,” Amnesty said.
Amnesty said that it had identified US-made bombs used in “unlawful deadly airstrikes by the Israeli military on residential homes and a makeshift camp for displaced people in the occupied Gaza Strip.”
Again, every death in Gaza is on Hamas, who willfully and deliberately invited Israel into Gaza on Oct 7th by way of genocidal massacre and rounding up hundreds of Israel men, women, an children of all ages as hostages, knowing that Israel would have to respond in the most aggressive manner.
The 19 month option for Hamas to lay down their arms and release all the hostages would have saved the good people of Gaza 19 months of grief and chaos, and the good people of Gaza would today be sleeping in their own beds and eating at their own tables.
Victim blaming again? Knowing that the IDF killed hundreds of their own citizens on Oct. 7 and blamed it on Hamas speaks volumes about how your Zionist lies are wearing thin on facts.
International law supports Palestinians' legitimacy of their struggle for independence and liberation from Israel's colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle.
International law strongly condemns those Governments that do not recognize the right to self-determination and independence of all peoples still under colonial domination and alien subjugation, notably the people of Palestine.

"Victim blaming again?"
Lotta genocidal butchers play the victim in court:
'But your honor!' cries lil' pee stain – face flushed with wounded indignation – 'Hamas made me ram an electric prod up that Gaza prisoner's anus!'

Just listened to it. Now they have to stick to it.. you know Trump will want to have the last word on anything.
So "knowing that Israel would have to respond in the most aggressive manner" why would Hamas give Netanyahu the excuse to do exactly what he has been wanting for years? Oct 7 was a happy day for that psycho. It in no way justifies 10s of thousands of murders in Gaza. Most of the world can see what Zionism are really about.

“Children live what they learn!”….!?!!!
Holocaust scholars and survivors have said the same.
Empire stenographers don’t cover it, or do so in a quick blurb of “so-and-so claimed”, in a passive voice, contrary to the lines of active verbs for Zionist victimhood.
It’s a surreal state, watching it go down in real time and seeing the disconnection from reality of the US political tribes.
On top of it, you have moronic social media bots, paid or unpaid defenders, with Echolalia, repeating nonsensical phrases over and over, with a nonpenetrative shield of indifference to humanity. Oblivious to the fact that their claims actually do more harm to their position.
Finkelstein thinks Israel will be successful in slaughtering all the Palestinians, and he is likely right. It will be a taint, a stain for generations of Israelis and western participants.
Finkelstein did say that he had some hope when a lot of protests erupted in the US and elsewhere against the genocide in Gaza by Israel. But then added that by now he lost all hope with the 100% crack down by Trump Administration and others in other countries against such protests.
He is being dismally realistic.
"Finkelstein thinks Israel will be successful in slaughtering all the Palestinians"
reminder – not that it's any less a US-Israel co-perpetrated genocide, even if they don't succeed in slaughtering all palestinians.
I do not forget.
