Published in The Lancet, life expectancy in Gaza declined by over 30 years during the first 12 months of the genocide with conditions only worsening since then.

When he reached the Israeli prison, U.S. human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.

When his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.

Historian Omer Bartov on why he believes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza NPR's Steve Inskeep speaks with Omer Bartov, Holocaust and genocide studies scholar at Brown University, about his essay outlining why he believes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

I mean Omer describes it as such. I’m not sure you know more about the history and application of the term genocide than Omer.

No Proof Hamas Routinely Stole U.N. Aid, Israeli Military Officials Say

Think of all those pro-Israel pundits you saw on your television screens this past year trying to sociopathically justify the mass starvation of Gaza by robotically claiming Hamas steals the aid. They were all lying. Shamelessly. Even the Israeli military confirms it now.

Also, in that quote he says there is NOT a distinction between killing due to a people’s identity and killing to “fight terrorism”. Both of these can be genocide.

The quote you shared goes against your general point.

Far-right minister says Israel pushing to ‘wipe out’ Gaza, will make it Jewish Amichay Eliyahu says planned settlements in Strip won't be 'fenced in,' denies starvation claims; Lapid: Israel cannot win war 'with ministers who sanctify blood and death'

The Israeli heritage minister said that they will “wipe out” Palestinians, and make Gaza “Jewish”.

That doesn’t sound like fighting terror to me. You should watch Omer’s appearance on Piers Morgan’s show.

Opinion | What Ilhan Omar gets right and AOC gets wrong on Israel The close colleagues are splitting on funding Israel's Iron Dome system, but Omar is on stronger ground.

For those who care about AOC’s position on the Iron Dome - her position has move to the right from where it was 4 years ago - and she completely misjudges the role of the Iron Dome in keeping Israelis safe and its role in the Gaza genocide.

Yes, it is more urgent than ever to properly describe it as a genocide.

Whenever a politician calls it a “war” or “conflict” they cover up Israel’s crimes.

I listed the world’s most respected and credible human rights organizations and their findings, if you reject them you have detached yourself from reality.

You are out of your fucking mind. There isn’t a single independent organization in the world that agrees with those claims.

Instead, the UN, Amnesty, HRW, MSF, IAGS, Lemkin, and renowned Israeli historians like Omer Bartov and Raz Segal have concluded that Israel is committing genocide, not Hamas.
