Genocide in Gaza🧵

A growing number of institutions, organizations, scholars, and legal experts have either warned of a potential genocide unfolding or asserted that Israel is actively committing genocide in Gaza.

🧵 Exploring why Israel's actions in Gaza meet the definition of genocide. We'll examine the "ten stages of genocide" to show how they apply in this context, along with insights from numerous genocide scholars who now argue that Israel is committing the "crime of crimes."

A 🧵 on the destruction of Gaza by 🇮🇱.

"Gaza [...] has been subjected by Israel to [...] one of the "heaviest conventional bombing campaigns" in the history of modern warfare [...] The destruction wrought by Israel is so extreme that "Gaza is now a different colour from space". Just three weeks after October 7th, Israel's plan should have been obvious to everyone - to collectively punish all Palestinians by destroying the entire Gaza Strip. To make it uninhabitable.
