Two days after the attacks, Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered mass war crimes when he announced “a complete siege of the Gaza Strip,” which is home to 2.2 million Palestinians, nearly half of them children. “There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” he said then, a threat that Israel has since largely delivered on. “We are fighting human animals, and we act accordingly.”. Genocide as defined by international law : Under international law, the crime of genocide is defined as the intention to destroy or partially destroy a group of people based on their ethnic, religious, racial, or national identity, either by direct killing or by the creation of conditions making life impossible.

Take the plank out of your own eye. Civilian Hostage taking is heinous, but is not genocidal. Israel has expressed genocidal intent that is carrying out , losing moral support from former sympathizers.

Gallant ordered war, not "war crimes," and Israel is not committing "genocide," despite the endless parroting of those accusations. The highly reliable CAMERA describes the facts on electricity, food, and water in detail here: https://www.camera.org/article/is-israels-siege-denying-water-and-food-to-gaza-just-the-facts/. The also highly reliable HonestReporting addresses the "war crimes/genocide" libels here: https://twitter.com/Aizenberg55/status/1744018558533714406.

Israel had been supplying food, water, and electricity to Gaza for years, because Hamas had diverted international aid money into building tunnels and rockets, rather than developing its own infrastructure and economy. Given Hamas's exhibitionist, livestreamed orgy of kidnapping, rape, torture, mutilation, murder, beheading, and necrophilia and its promise to repeat that day "again and again," Israel is under no obligation to supply its murderers with utilities. It's clear that Hamas has amassed stockpiles of fuel and food, and they do have water. Those crying "war crimes" and "genocide" seem never to wonder how it is that Gazans continue to film the ongoing conflict with freshly charged cellphones.

Well here’s the highly reliable Human Rights Watch, but you will deny any proof you don’t like, moral monster.

No one is even asking Israel to supply Gaza now, only to refrain from blocking aid. Here are your brethren proudly doing that https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2f9eiFSQ6I/?igsh=NDM0djBvMmk2aXg1

The Palestine people are all murderers and animals? Sounds so much like how Jews were characterized by the Nazis.
