Amnesty International report calls Israel's war in Gaza a genocide

Firstpost  

A report from Amnesty International alleges that Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza amounts to genocide. Image- AFP file Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, a report from Amnesty International alleged that Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip constitutes the “crime of genocide” under international law. “Israel has committed prohibited acts under the Genocide Convention, namely killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and deliberately inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction with the specific intent to destroy Palestinians” in the territory, the report said. What makes the report significant It is pertinent to note that this is the first time Amnesty has accused Israel of committing “crimes of genocide” during an ongoing conflict. The body also accused Israel of deliberate obstruction of aid and power supplies together with “massive damage, destruction and displacement.” Amnesty International also cited the collapse of water, sanitation, food and healthcare systems, in what it called a “pattern of conduct” within the context of the occupation and blockade of Gaza.
