      SS: Amnesty International investigation concludes that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The report claims that during its military offensive, after the October 7 attack, Israel has engaged in actions prohibited under the Genocide convention. The article also mentions the humanitarian crises that has emerged as a result of this offensive, such as: widespread destruction, internal displacement, and restrictions on life-saving aid. Amnesty joins the list international human rights organisations that call what is happening in Gaza a genocide.

      Now, I’m not saying that Israel is innocent or even really in the right here, Hamas was an alarm that was going to go off at some point and Netanyahu kept his head in the gutter. He’s to blame for the havoc that he enabled on 10/7 by being lazy and deplatforming secular factions before they had the chance to make a legitimate argument for the statehood of Palestine.

      That being said, this hyperbolic genocide narrative and the “far left” universal belief that the “oppressed” has a pass to do virtually anything and even sabotage those that they acclaim to be fighting for as “resistance” is reductive.

      I think it’s really telling that the Israeli head of Amnesty resigned over the conclusions of this report. It’s not like they can be accused of being Israeli apologists in any way, they even said in response they believe ethnic cleansing could be happening. But it’s clear the accusations are way too far and not substantiated enough.

      Read the intent section. As is the case with the South Africa ICJ complaint, the threshold they are using to establish intent is so low you would need to view WW2 US as genociding Germans and Japanese to be logically consistent.
