UN commission of inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and accused senior Israeli officials including Benjamin Netanyahu of inciting it.
The United Nations independent international commission of inquiry (COI), which does not speak on behalf of the UN and has been criticised strongly by Israel, cited the scale of the killings, aid blockages, forced displacement and the destruction of a fertility clinic in the territory to support its genocide finding.
By now, given the whole purposeful mass killing of civilians by Starvation, it’s probably at the level of a Holocaust.
Israel’s foreign ministry said it categorically rejected the report and called for the COI to be abolished. Israel’s ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Daniel Meron, called the report a scandalous and fake “libellous rant” that had been authored by “Hamas proxies”. Israel has declined to cooperate with the COI, accusing it of having a political agenda.
You don’t fucking say. What convinced you? Was it the Geno or the Cide?
Once the UN commission of Strongly Worded Letters steps in we will see some progress.
What do you want them to do? A commission goal is to investigate and come to an conclussion then it is the job of the UN members to do their obligations and do actions based on that finding
I don’t think the previous comment was directed at the commission.
The world has been watching the genocide for nearly 2 years now and no meaningful action has been taken to stop it by any country.
I think the point that was being made is that the UN appears to be completely powerless as long as the US continues to back Israel (and still has veto power in the security council).
He literally said un commission rather than the UN. And the UN is also constituted from many entities some have no executive power. Blaming icj specifically is something i agree eith there is no reason why it take them so long to admit the genocide
I’m not going to argue about what @[email protected] meant, but it seemed pretty clear to me that the problem is all of the countries who aren’t doing anything.

I agree
Not taking two years to determine the most obvious genocide in world history would be nice.
I said that in a previous comment it’s the ICJ part of the UN that is problematic. They have all the evidences and still didn’t declare it as a genocide. They took 12 years after it ended to declare the Bosnia genocide
I want both parties to cover themselves in oil and wrestle.
