Amnesty accuses Israel of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
Well, not exactly ...
Chair of Amnesty International’s Israel branch resigns over genocide report
The chair of Amnesty International’s Israeli branch and two board members have resigned over the human rights group’s report accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip. Daniil Brodsky and the board members stepped down on Thursday, after the group said in a statement the report had “not proved genocidal intent beyond a reasonable doubt” ...
The Wall Street Journal's editorial board has a piece about this ...
The Propaganda War on Israel Never Stops
[...] The case law at the International Court of Justice requires a finding that “intent to destroy the group, in whole or in part, must be the only reasonable inference which can be drawn from the pattern of conduct.” Amnesty says that’s too high a bar and looks at the “broader picture” and “context.” ....
Here’s the report’s opening line: “On 7 October 2023, Israel embarked on a military offensive on the occupied Gaza Strip (Gaza) of unprecedented magnitude, scale and duration.” Gaza wasn’t occupied, and Hamas, not Israel, embarked on a military offensive. But Amnesty says it will get to the Hamas mass murder later ....
While Amnesty uses the casualty figures of the “Gaza-based Ministry of Health,” aka Hamas, it never mentions that Israel says 17,000 dead Hamas fighters are among them. It omits the crucial civilian-to-combatant ratio, which would suggest Israel has done better than most in urban warfare ....
Amnesty even criticizes Israel for evacuating civilians from active war zones. This, too, becomes evidence of “genocidal intent” because it displaces the civilians. But Amnesty also criticizes Israel as genocidal in cases where it it didn’t evacuate civilians. The game is to twist international law until Israel—or the U.S.—has no way to fight against terrorists ....
Depressing that most of the press is just stating that Amnesry International says Israel is committing genocide, as if that makes it a fact. I used to like Amnesty International. Why do my people (the liberals) have to hate Israel? :(
