“Our Genocide”
Israeli Human Rights Groups Accuse Israel of Palestine Genocide
------------------------------------------------------------

B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights (Israel) have concluded that Israel’s violence against Palestinians is a “coordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip.”

“Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”

“Our [U.S., Canadian, Western European] Genocide”
The NYT is finally starting to report some of the truth about “our genocide” - the U.S. and Western-backed, genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestine over the past 22 months. For most of this time, the NYT and Western mainstream media have covered up the fact that many human rights organizations, from the smallest ones through to United Nations bodies and the International Court of Justice, have all documented and accused the U.S. and Western-backed government of Israel of genocide.

In a First, Leading Israeli Rights Groups Accuse Israel of Gaza Genocide
Israel says it is fighting against Hamas, not Palestinians as a group. But two of Israel’s best-known rights groups — long critical of Israeli policy — now say they disagree.

Two of the best-known Israeli human rights groups said Monday that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, adding fuel to a passionately fought international debate over whether the death and destruction there have crossed a moral red line.

The two groups were B’Tselem, a rights monitor that documents the effects of Israeli policies on Palestinians, and Physicians for Human Rights — Israel. Their announcement was the first time major Israeli rights groups have publicly concluded that the Gaza war is a genocide, an assessment previously reached by some organizations like Amnesty International ([link removed]) .

In a report titled “Our Genocide,” B’Tselem cited the devastating effects of Israel’s war on ordinary Palestinians to support their claim: the killing of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza; the razing of huge areas of Palestinian cities; the forced displacement of nearly all of Gaza’s two million people; the restriction of food and other vital supplies.

All together, the Israeli campaign has amounted to “coordinated action to intentionally destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip,” the organization wrote. “In other words: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”

Israel rejected the accusations as “baseless.” David Mencer, an Israeli government spokesman, said that Israeli troops were targeting Palestinian militants, not civilians. If Israel truly intended to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, the country would not have facilitated nearly two million tons of aid to the territory, he said.

The debate over whether the war in Gaza constitutes genocide has also played out at the International Court of Justice, where South Africa has brought a genocide case against Israel. The court has yet to rule on the matter.

Acountability for U.S., Canadian and Western complicity

As we try to do with our work in Guatemala and Honduras, Rights Action encourages and supports education, organizing and activism work to hold the U.S.-led West legally and politically accountable for supporting, enabling and legitimizing Israel’s ethnic cleansing genocide crimes against Palestine and the Palestinian people.
