The Israeli Genocide of Palestininans, a livestreamed Hunger Game with the Western World and Media Complicit

By 17 Mins Read

Palestinian boy Amir (5), barefoot, hungry, and alone, was killed by American and Israeli soldiers at the aid distribution point he went to. Do not forgive, do not stay silent, do not forget Amir.

The IDF shot Amir dead after he received lentils and kissed GHF staff Anthony Aguilar’s hand for receiving food. I’ve never seen such brutality, he told the BBC. Before they shot and killed him, they sprayed him with chemical crowd control weapons. This 5-year-old child’s last minute on earth was being tortured with chemicals designed to induce pain, before he was murdered by IDF gunfire. The chemicals were from US mercenaries. This is what Israel does because it has never faced a consequence for any amount of brutality.

We should stop calling the GHF an “aid site” on the news. After all, it’s only called an aid site because that’s what the GHF wants it to be called. Based on evidence, it’s a death trap (almost 2000 killed on the spot).
You don’t call a mouse trap a mouse cheese aid site. It’s a trap with food.

Fmr. Green Beret Who Worked at Gaza Food Sites Reveals Rampant War Crimes:

As more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed seeking aid at militarized aid distribution sites run by the U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a former GHF security contractor tells Democracy Now! he saw U.S. mercenaries and Israeli forces commit war crimes by indiscriminately shooting at starving Palestinians waiting for aid. “What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland,” says Anthony Aguilar, a retired U.S. soldier who worked as a subcontractor with UG Solutions in the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid delivery operation. “We, the United States, are complicit. We are involved, hand in hand, in the atrocities and the genocide that is currently undergoing in Gaza.”

“Never Again” became “Do It Again”:

47% of Israeli Jews want to REPEAT JERICHO – “kill all inhabitants” when conquering cities.
82% support Gaza ethnic cleansing
56% want to purge Palestinian citizens
47% fantasize about biblical slaughter
These aren’t extremists – this is MAINSTREAM Israeli society.

The former “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” – or Genocide Humanitarian Figleaf as former UNRWA Spokesperson Chris Gunness calls them (@GHFUpdates) American security contractor Anthony Aguilar reveals even more shocking details about the GHF’s operations that further implicate the organization in war crimes & crimes against humanity:
The sites have not only become death traps, they were designed as death traps.
All four distribution locations were intentionally, deliberately constructed, planned, and built in the middle of an active combat zone. Some may argue, well, all of Gaza is a war zone.

That may be true, but there are parts of Gaza that are direct or that are determined to be active operational combat zones where Israeli defense forces are operating. Those sites were built in the middle of those areas intentionally. It’s not by accident that, in and of itself, to designate humanitarian distribution sites to service an unarmed starving population, to build them deliberately in an active combat zone, is a violation of the Geneva Convention protocols. It’s a violation of humanitarian law, and in my opinion, it’s a violation of humanity in general. The sites, not only where they were built, all four sites around the perimeter and the roads leading in and out, are barricaded by razor wire. Not barbed wire, not concertina wire. We use it in warfare for obstacle obstruction or paths—razor wire. Geneva Conventions specifically prohibit the use of razor wire to restrict areas that civilians are servicing, hospitals, water points, food.

Distribution points, and we’re using them. Not only did the IDF provide it for us to use on the sites, but we, UG Solutions, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, asked for it specifically. Razor wire is designed to maim and kill. And we’re using that to channelize and herd, if you will, thousands of unarmed, starving civilians. That’s a war crime—the actions on the sites, escalation of force, no standard operating procedures to dictate that. No rules of engagement were provided to the armed contractors on the ground—the indiscriminate use of force, lethal and non-lethal, against unarmed civilians. I want to make that clear. We aren’t there on the distribution sites defending ourselves against Hamas. We are using indiscriminate force, targeting civilians, and escalating force that goes far beyond the measures of appropriate force against an unarmed, starving population. The equipment, the equipment that we were issued, fully automatic weapons, which in and of itself is not a violation of protocol.

However, we were issued M855 green-tipped ammunition. That’s important because green-tipped ammunition is a steel-jacketed copper round that’s designed to penetrate armor. It’s designed to kill. It’s designed to shoot through reinforced objects to kill someone on the other side of it. That’s what all the UG Solutions contractors are equipped with right now in-country. Everyone carries a standard basic load of 210 rounds of M855 armor-piercing military combat ammunition. Why would anyone need that even if to defend themselves or defend their lives against an unarmed population? It’s inappropriate. That in and of itself, that action there is a war crime. I’d call the status of our of us being in the country. Every UG Solutions contract is American. US citizens in Israel who are armed with fully automatic weapons in Gaza as we speak today, right now, and have been since the 26th of May.

We are in the country on a B2 entry visa as tourists. We’re in the country as tourists. So if a family member wanted to go to Israel to visit Jerusalem, they would enter Israel on a tourist visa. That’s the legal status that armed American citizens are in Gaza right now, with the authority to use hostile force against an unarmed civilian on a tourist visa. That is a violation of humanitarian international law. Period. The food that we distribute is nowhere near enough for Mr. Johnny Moore. Shame on you for celebrating 92 million meals delivered into Gaza. Shame on you. A very simple equation. 92 / 2.2 2 million people divided by 3 million or three meals a day. That’s what GHF proclaims: we’ve been distributing aid since the 26th of May. 26th May to now the 29th of June. 64 days of continuous distribution, and we’ve only managed to distribute 92 million meals. When you break that down again, it’s a simple equation. That’s 14 days of meals. So out of 64 days, we’ve provided 14 days of meals to the entire population in the Gaza enclave. That’s inhumane. That would be like saying that you only eat every fourth day. [ … ]

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation needs to be defunded, shut down, and the United Nations needs to be allowed back in on a full scale, supported by the United States, resourced, and helped. Instead of giving the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation $60 million, use that $60 million to support the United Nations mechanism to get 400 sites back to operating to feed 2.1 million people every day.”

IDF ordered Hannibal Directive on October 7. killing it’s own Citizens starting One Year of GENOCIDE

It’s been exactly 25 years since this photo was taken. A reminder for those who think the war or genocide started on October 7.

Israel killed over 200 journalists while these media covered for it. Suddenly, they pretend to have a conscience.

This article will be updated with more complicit organizations (such as the EU), countries (including Germany, Canada and Italy), individuals, and media outlets.

Someday soon, what’s been obvious to so many of us from the beginning will be understood by everyone: that if a city can be reduced to rubble with its people held captive inside, if they can be starved in full view of the world, everything is permitted, and this threatens us all.

Definitions of Genocide and Related Crimes by the UN

The word “genocide” was first coined by Polish lawyer Raphäel Lemkin in 1944 in his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. It consists of the Greek prefix genos, meaning race or tribe, and the Latin suffix cide, meaning killing. Lemkin developed the term partly in response to the Nazi policies of systematic murder of Jewish people during the Holocaust, but also in response to previous instances in history of targeted actions aimed at the destruction of particular groups of people. Later on, Raphäel Lemkin led the campaign to have genocide recognised and codified as an international crime.

Genocide was first recognised as a crime under international law in 1946 by the United Nations General Assembly (A/RES/96-I). It was codified as an independent crime in the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (the Genocide Convention). The Convention has been ratified by 153 States (as of April 2022). The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has repeatedly stated that the Convention embodies principles that are part of general customary international law. This means that whether or not States have ratified the Genocide Convention, they are all bound as a matter of law by the principle that genocide is a crime prohibited under international law. The ICJ has also stated that the prohibition of genocide is a peremptory norm of international law (or ius cogens) and consequently, no derogation from it is allowed.

The definition of the crime of genocide as contained in Article II of the Genocide Convention was the result of a negotiating process and reflects the compromise reached among United Nations Member States in 1948 at the time of drafting the Convention. Genocide is defined in the same terms as in the Genocide Convention in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Article 6), as well as in the statutes of other international and hybrid jurisdictions. Many States have also criminalized genocide in their domestic law; others have yet to do so.

Definition

Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide

Article II

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

  1. Killing members of the group;
  2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
  3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
  4. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
  5. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Elements of the crime

The Genocide Convention establishes in Article I that the crime of genocide may take place in the context of an armed conflict, international or non-international, but also in the context of a peaceful situation. The latter is less common but still possible. The same article establishes the obligation of the contracting parties to prevent and to punish the crime of genocide.

The popular understanding of what constitutes genocide tends to be broader than the content of the norm under international law. Article II of the Genocide Convention contains a narrow definition of the crime of genocide, which includes two main elements:

  1. A mental element: the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such”; and
  2. A physical element, which includes the following five acts, enumerated exhaustively:
    • Killing members of the group
    • Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
    • Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
    • Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
    • Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group

The intent is the most difficult element to determine. To constitute genocide, there must be a proven intent on the part of perpetrators to physically destroy a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. Cultural destruction does not suffice, nor does an intention to simply disperse a group. It is this special intent, or dolus specialis, that makes the crime of genocide so unique. In addition, case law has associated intent with the existence of a State or organizational plan or policy, even if the definition of genocide in international law does not include that element.

Importantly, the victims of genocide are deliberately targeted – not randomly – because of their real or perceived membership of one of the four groups protected under the Convention (which excludes political groups, for example). This means that the target of destruction must be the group, as such, and not its members as individuals. Genocide can also be committed against only a part of the group, as long as that part is identifiable (including within a geographically limited area) and “substantial.”

Wondering why so many U.S. politicians prioritise Israel over America?
Because the House is basically made up of three parties @AdameMedia:
1. AIPAC – 324 members (Israeli lobby group)
2. Democrats – 84 members
3. Republicans – 27 members

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, but rather than use his enormous leverage to stop it, Trump cites “anti-Israel rhetoric” to withdraw from UNESCO [again]. @KenRoth

Gaza Ceasefire Ahead of Trump’s Inauguration Leaves Palestine Genocide Legacy on the Biden Admin

A sitting U.S. [Randy Fine] lawmaker just told 2.3 million Palestinians to “starve away,” brushing off their agony as a hoax and spewing Islamophobia. This is an open endorsement of genocide and collective punishment – a war crime. @Mondoweiss

Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, David Lammy, England, Piers Morgan, and even the state broadcaster BBC are complicit in the Apartheid Jewish Zionist State Israel’s Genocide of the Palestinians;

The UK government says it is doing everything it can to alleviate suffering in Gaza. The UK government won’t suspend the sale of F-35 parts to Israel. The UK government won’t stop the use of RAF Akrotiri or end military cooperation. The UK government won’t accept the ICJ ruling that the occupation of Palestine is illegal. The UK government won’t recognise a Palestinian state. The UK government won’t impose comprehensive economic sanctions. The UK government won’t conduct an assessment of genocide, let alone fulfil its legal obligations to prevent it. The UK government won’t even say that war crimes have been committed. Empty words cannot hide the truth: the UK government is complicit in crimes against humanity.@jeremycorbyn

The European Union, Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine:
It is unbelievable how nonchalantly leaders like @kajakallas and @vonderleyen continue to ignore (and stand against) intl law and the decisions of the highest intl Courts re Israel: among others, I shall remind them, the ICJ ordered Israel to: – withdraw its troops and remove settlers from the WHOLE OF THE OPT by September 17, 2025 and meahwile – other states not to recognise, aid and assist Israel in its wrongdoings. No one can ask Israel to ensure anything other than LEAVING and then responding to justice. It is that simple. Instead, @kajakallas and @vonderleyen‘s persistence denote knowledge, intent and purpose, which shall be missed by the relevant authorities when assessing their failure to prevent and stop genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and bring to an end the underlying unlawful occupation.
