Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, two human rights organizations of the Jewish country made a big allegation, implicated Netanyahu
Two major Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, said on Monday that their country is committing genocide in Gaza. This is the first time during the nearly 22-month war that local Jewish-led organizations have made such allegations against Israel. These claims have been made by B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHRI).
Gai Shalev, director of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, said that the Jewish-Israeli public often dismisses the allegations of genocide as anti-Semitic or biased against Israel. He said, “Perhaps when Israel’s own human rights organizations say this, people will take these allegations seriously and start understanding the real situation.”
Israel says that it follows international law and its fight in Gaza is for self-defense. It calls these allegations false and biased. The PHRI report found that Israel had committed acts that clearly indicated an intent to exterminate an entire community – such as taking away the necessities of life. The Israeli government did not immediately comment on the B’Tselem and PHRI reports on Monday.
In their separate but jointly released reports, the human rights groups said Israel’s policies in Gaza, statements by senior officials about its goals, and the deliberate destruction of the territory’s health system all led them to conclude that genocide is taking place.
Their findings are consistent with previous reports by other international rights groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. B’Tselem said Hamas’ attacks on Israel triggered the war, which transformed the country’s policy toward Palestinians in Gaza from repression and control to destruction and elimination.
