If this is not "collective punishment" (a war crime) then I don't know what else is. The ICC and the ICJ need to get off their fat asses and begin to act like an international body that their name implies.
If this doesn't meet one of the definitions of genocide (preventing births within the group), then nothing does. The real question in regards to the ICC/ICJ/UN is "Cui bono?" Who benefits? We've known the answer to that since the UN was founded in the 1940s, just as everybody knew the answer to the same question about the League of Nations. The answer's the same. Let's not pretend that any of those bodies truly represents international order that benefits anyone else.
Heartbreaking. The outstanding journalism continues to show that every nation, politician and statesman facilitating this horror are criminals and ghouls of the highest order.
I believe especially if "even Israel’s intelligence services have accepted them," then the numbers are very conservative.
The United States war crimes establishment approved, allowed, armed and funded this genocide. Everything empire claims it fights for from now on, until it falls, will follow that thought.
The best thing Pope Francis could ever do is to go to Gaza, or now, to the West Bank. Make his stand in Bethlehem. He has an opportunity that is unequalled, to say "no" to genocide. Not in our name, not on our watch.
Let us make our donations to honor Aaron Bushnell, in memory of Hind Rajab, or Dr Jumann Afra, the mother of newborn twins killed by Israel using US bombs. Now, sorrowfully, we must also add Aysenur Ezgi Egyi and Matt Nelson’s name to our honor roll.
There are those inside Israel who stand for justice and humanity, made up of committed Israelis and Palestinians working together to protect the Palestinians. We need to give them all the support we can. They are taking huge risks.

These are only some of the courageous groups working for justice in Palestine. They all need y/our support now, perhaps more than ever. How can we allow this to happen?
Assuming the Israeli government is behind the attack, I'll bet they are, it's all part of baiting Hezbollah into war. Then Trump will say "I told you so, that the world was safer when I was President". Millions won't see behind the curtain, will fall for it. Trump wins. Then Gaza is wiped out, turned into timeshares run by Jared and Trump. Somewhere prior all hell breaks loose, which is what Bannon has always wanted. I bet they reinstate the draft.
The Haitians lie is part of the plan too. Israel has probably lent some of their sock puppet hasbara operations to the Trump campaign.
It just keeps getting worse. Worse still, the bottom or calvary is nowhere in sight. No one is coming to save us. Instead, it's up to we the people. Only problem with that is, the people are stuck on X and Facebook, where their minds are turning into mush. They keep logging on to the platforms that are a big part of the problem. They're turning everything over to the tech oligarchs. It's mind-blowing.
Musk, Thiel, Ellison, Karp, Zuckerberg and their kind aren't turned on by money. They got that. Sex doesn't do it either. No, now their goal is mind control. They're well on their way.
In coding we say the ultimate language has just 1 line - "do what I'm thinking". This is what the oligarchs are after. The big turn on for them is issuing a command to someone or some population somewhere and watching them execute it, while watching on a screen in their sauna.
Musk belongs on the world's worst persons list. But millions keep logging onto X, feeding that scoundrel.

The members of the present US,UK governments are obviously war criminals?
The UN seems to be useless..writing nasty letters just won't do it ..
Israel is a mad dog thats fed by cowards. US, & the UK only bomb countries
that can't fight back.
