Editorialized. The report absolutely doesnt definitively say that "Israel is guilty of genocide"

At most they are saying that Israel MAY HAVE caused serious bodily or mental harm during a war and that war will tend to prevent births from happening.

In fact, this report cant even approach that topic of genocide because that would take a court/tribunal to conclude on.

The number of israel trolls who want to discredit the UN here is telling. As it was said, the first victim of war is truth.

UN has previously discredited themselves. UNRWA taking part in Oct 7th. UNRWA holding hostages.

Useless except if the following done on the US side:

Remove exception to AIPAC political status

Reevaluate AIPAC non profit status entirely

Replicate EO 14046 for Israel which adds the entire ruling party and head of state and spouses and military and affiliated business to the OFAC list

all of this is easy and doesn’t require Congress

but nobody is close to considering those actions with regard to Israel. Notably, other nation’s organizations do not enjoy this courtesy

(Don’t sorry guys, Hamas is already on these lists too)

I find it funny people still find the UN legitimate. They still haven't criticised Hamas attack. The UN in Gaza is extremely corrupt because they are threatened by Hamas or they're themselves Hamas. We already saw this organization being accused of hiring terrorists.

Also, please don't provide Al-Jazeera links, they are accused countless times hiring/supporting terrorists, and their news reporters are themselves terrorists. They're funded by Qatar and Hamas and other organizations.

The UN secretary general condemned it the day it happened.

Given the Israeli military are defacto state sponsored terrorists (see e.g. their active support of settler violence on the West Bank if you want to avoid Gaza related complaints). That means every single company in Israel is employing terrorists.

Sure. The Israel military rapes, kills, slaughter, and rob Gaza and West bank. The IDF is exactly like Hamas sure. /s if you didn't understand.

The Israelis live in the West Bank. The IDF is there to protect them. There is no violence whatsoever from the settlers. It's pure propaganda. There were a few rare times of some violence, but it's nothing compared to what the Palestinians do. Last week, two Palestinians crossed the border and murdered 6 people and 20+ injured on a bus shooting in Jerusalem. They even kill each other.

Each time the IDF comes into Palestinians "cities" to catch terrorists, they throw rocks on them.

> no violence whatsoever

The UN reported that, in the West Bank, Palestinians killed 6 Israeli settlers and 16 soldiers, while Israelis killed 719 Palestinians, from October 7, 2023, to October 7, 2024" https://www.ochaopt.org/content/humanitarian-situation-updat...

International journalists can't access Gaza, but they have witnessed first hand settler violence. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cewy88jle0eo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0pHcC0HMiQ
