Two major Israeli human rights organizations, B’Tselem & Physicians for Human Rights, officially declared Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, citing bombs targeting civilians, displacement, and deliberate starvation. The first time the Gaza genocide is called out from within Israeli society. #3E🧵
This is a seismic shift. Israeli citizens, doctors & rights groups, are now accusing their own government of crimes against humanity in Gaza. The declaration adds to growing international pressure, including cases at the ICJ and growing calls for arms embargoes and sanctions. #FreePalestine
Israel’s assault on Gaza has killed over 59,800 people, 80% civilians, displaced over 1.9 million, destroyed 69% of buildings, collapsed the health care system by deliberately destroying hospitals, and forced nearly half a million into a man made man‑made mass starvation. #FreePalestine
Nearly 470,000 people in Gaza are enduring famine-like conditions, with 90,000 women and children / babies requiring specialized nutritional treatment. As many as 2 million face critical food insecurity, with roughly half of Gaza’s population confronting man‑made mass starvation. #FreePalestine
The conduct of Israeli forces in Gaza, combined with intent demonstrated by policy and rhetoric, meets the legal threshold for genocide under international law. Recognizing this is not political, it is a necessary step toward justice, accountability, and genocide prevention. #FreePalestine
At least 20 EU countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Ireland, and Sweden, have publicly criticized Israel and called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Pressure is mounting by European civil society for EU-wide action on arms, aid, and trade ties. #FreePalestine
At least 9 non-EU countries, including Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Japan, Australia & New Zealand, have publicly called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. The demand for Israel to stop and allow aid continues to grow. #FreePalestine
Russia, China, and North Korea claim to stand in opposition to Israel but shield it by eroding the legitimacy of international law. Israel is China’s 2nd-largest arms & tech supplier. Israel has lobbied for the return of Russian military bases in Syria, help them evade sanctions. #FreePalestine
The US leads efforts to shield Israel from legal accountability, opposing ICC warrants, pressuring allies to back Israel's genocide, and threatening sanctions. Hungary quit ICC to shield Israel. Germany and Poland refuse to arrest Israeli leaders if they visit. #FreePalestine
