gaza genocide

​Genocide is the world’s most heinous crime. The horrible irony is that the Genocide Convention arose out of the ashes of the Holocaust, while today the Israeli government stands accused of doing to Palestinians what the Nazis did to other Europeans.
According to the Genocide Convention (the same one that Israel used to convict Nazis after World War II), elements of the crime of genocide are as follows:
Article I: The crime of genocide may take place in the context of an armed conflict, international or non-international.
Article II: The "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such":
a. Killing members of the group
b. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group
c. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
d. Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group
e. Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
