U.N. Report Finds Israel’s Assault on Gaza “Consistent with Genocide,” Including Starvation Campaign

"A U.N. special committee has found Israel’s actions in Gaza since October 2023 are “consistent with genocide,” including using starvation as a weapon of war and recklessly inflicting civilian casualties. The report, released today, comes one day after a Human Rights Watch report found Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity through its mass forced displacement of civilians in Gaza. HRW is calling on nations to adopt sanctions and halt weapons sales to Israel."

Democracy Now!U.N. Report Finds Israel’s Assault on Gaza “Consistent with Genocide,” Including Starvation CampaignA U.N. special committee has found Israel’s actions in Gaza since October 2023 are “consistent with genocide,” including using starvation as a weapon of war and recklessly inflicting civilian casualties. The report, released today, comes one day after a Human Rights Watch report found Israel has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity through its mass forced displacement of civilians in Gaza. HRW is calling on nations to adopt sanctions and halt weapons sales to Israel. But Israel’s indiscriminate slaughter continues, with at least five Palestinians killed today in central Gaza’s al-Maghazi refugee camp. Elsewhere, at least two people were killed by an Israeli strike on a tent encampment for displaced Palestinians near Nuseirat. Meanwhile, the U.N.’s humanitarian affairs office warned Palestinian children are at high risk of injury or death from unexploded ordnance left after more than 13 months of Israeli attacks. Among the victims is severely wounded 8-year-old Mohammed Qarmash. This is his mother. Amal Al-Wadiya: “No one was there to tell him that these are explosives that the Israelis throw. The children play with them, and they blow up. What is happening to us is not fair. His father died at the Karni border, and his body stayed there. What is happening to us is not fair, really.”

Israel Fails to Meet 30-Day U.S. Deadline to End Starvation Campaign in Northern Gaza

Democracy Now!Israel Fails to Meet 30-Day U.S. Deadline to End Starvation Campaign in Northern Gaza Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip. On Monday, at least 10 civilians were killed when a pair of Israeli missiles struck a crowded tent cafe west of Khan Younis, an area Israel had designated as a so-called safe zone. That followed Israeli attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp that killed 20 people, some of whom were reportedly shot as they tried to flee the onslaught. Meanwhile, Palestinian health workers say three medical staffers were injured in an Israeli attack near the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital near Beit Lahia. It’s been just over 400 days since Israel began its assault on Gaza. For thousands of displaced Palestinians forced to live in makeshift camps, life has become a daily struggle for survival. Ibtissam Sobh: “The 400 days that have passed feel like 400 years, maybe even more. If there was no war, we wouldn’t have known such hunger and displacement. Before, we were living decently. We were fine and happy, receiving aid packages twice a month. Now there’s no food, no water, no medicine. There’s nothing. We are deprived of everything, even the air we breathe.” Israel has failed to meet a 30-day deadline set by the Biden administration to end its starvation campaign in northern Gaza, where the U.N. says a famine is imminent. Despite the deadline, the Biden administration still has not triggered U.S. laws requiring it to withhold military support to Israel over gross human rights abuses. In a report co-signed by Oxfam, Refugees International and Save the Children, relief groups write that Israel entirely failed to meet 15 of 19 U.S. demands, warning the situation in northern Gaza is “in an even more dire state today than a month ago.”

Democracy Now!Israel’s Smotrich Lauds Trump’s Victory, Orders Preparations to Illegally Annex West BankIsrael’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told Israeli lawmakers he has ordered work to begin so that Israel can annex the occupied West Bank. Bezalel Smotrich: “Year 2025 will be, with God’s help, the year of sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.” Smotrich, who is himself a resident of an illegal Israeli settlement in Palestine’s West Bank, said he hopes the incoming Trump administration will back his plans, which violate international law.

Protesters Take to the Streets Across the Globe to Mark One Year of Israel’s Genocidal War on Gaza

democracynow.org/2024/10/7/hea

Democracy Now!Protesters Take to the Streets Across the Globe to Mark One Year of Israel’s Genocidal War on GazaHundreds of thousands of protesters marched in cities across the world Saturday to demand an end to Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza and its widening war on Lebanon. Huge crowds flooded the streets of London; Berlin; Paris; Istanbul; Melbourne; Cape Town, South Africa; and Karachi, Pakistan, in solidarity with Palestinians. Here in the United States, protesters rallied in downtown Washington, D.C., near the White House. This is Anyssa Dhaouadi of the Palestinian Youth Movement. Anyssa Dhaouadi: “Our role here in the United States, and specifically here in Washington, D.C., is to uplift the demand for an arms embargo on Israel and is to demand that our politicians, the Biden administration and the next administration, whoever that may be, to end all U.S. aid and end its complicity in this genocide. We know that without the financial backing and the diplomatic cover that the U.S. is providing on Israel, we know that this genocide would not have been possible.”
