Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
We are witnessing a systematic campaign of annihilation, documented by Amnesty International in its new report ‘You feel like a subhuman: Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian population in Gaza’, in which we denounce, with overwhelming evidence, the brutality of this deliberate extermination.
Since 2 March, Israel has blocked the entry of essential humanitarian aid: water, food and medicines. Hunger is being used as a weapon, with the clear intention of destroying the Palestinian civilian population through unbearable suffering. This collective punishment is not a side effect: it is a conscious choice, a strategy of death.
