ISRAEL GENOCIDE?: "We are witnessing the genocide of the Palestinian people by the State of Israel"

“Israel Genocide?” in their own words: “We are people from all around the world who fear that we are witnessing the genocide of the Palestinian people by the State of Israel. Witnessing Israel’s daily violations of Palestinian human rights- military take-over of land, restriction of movement, economic strangulation, house demolitions, restrictions on basic foodstuff, mass arbitrary arrests of both adults and children, torture, extra judicial executions, and large-scale massacres of whole families, openly calling for genocide and/extermination by law makers and other public figures- we can not keep silent about this 67 year-old atrocity, unfolding before our eyes. We demand the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor take action and investigate the possibility that Israel is committing the Crime of Genocide against the Palestinian People, and that the office publish its findings and recommendations” (see “Israel Genocide?” about: http://israelgenocide.com/about/ ).

“Israel Genocide?” in listing numerous articles on the Palestinian Genocide with the preamble that “More and more legal experts, public figures, institutions, civil society groups, journalists, artists and bloggers have stated that Israel’s systematic oppression of the Palestinian people may amount to genocide” (“Israel Genocide?” articles: http://israelgenocide.com/articles/ ).

“Israel Genocide?” petition to the UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and ICC prosecutor on action on the ongoing Palestinian Genocide: “I am a concerned person of conscience, who fears that I am witnessing the genocide of the Palestinian people by the State of Israel. Witnessing Israel’s daily violations of Palestinian human rights- military take-over of land, restriction of movement, economic strangulation, house demolitions, restrictions on basic foodstuff, mass arbitrary arrests of both adults and children, torture, extra judicial executions, and large-scale massacres of whole families, openly calling for genocide and extermination by law makers and other public figures- I can not keep silent about this 68 year-old atrocity, unfolding before our eyes.The Crime of Genocide is defined in a declaration made by the General Assembly of the United Nations in its resolution 96 (I) dated 11 December 1946. I demand the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor take action and investigate the possibility that Israel is committing the Crime of Genocide against the Palestinian People, and that the office publish its findings and recommendations.Thank you” (see “Israel Genocide?” take action: http://israelgenocide.com/take-action/ ).

“Israel Genocide?” statement in response to the United Nations Human Rights “Report of the Independent Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza Conflict”: “The United Nations Human Rights “Report of the Independent Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza Conflict” has been released and the word genocide appears only once, to define what an International Crime is. Even though the numbers speak for themselves, the treatment of the occupying army and the population it besieges as some kind of equals, with equal responsibility and military ability, in this report is glaring. We feel that the report, while detailing Israel’s individual war crimes, both in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank, during Israel’s attack last summer, intentionally glosses over the context of 68 years of colonization and its subsequent on-going genocidal effects. A crime of this magnitude- which lasted 51 consecutive days and resulted in the extermination of 89 whole families and the deaths of scores of others, and in devastating damage to civilian property and infrastructure in the context of Israel’s ever-tightening de-facto stranglehold on Palestinian land and lives and infinitely superior fire-power- cannot be assessed under the laws of war, but under the laws of genocide. We appeal to the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, Adama Dieng, and the International Criminal Court Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda to investigate the possibility that Israel is committing the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people” “Israel Genocide?”: http://israelgenocide.com/ ).
