ISRAEL is committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, Amnesty International confirms in a damning report published today.

The human rights group says that a deadly mixture of malnutrition and disease has exposed Palestinians to a slow, calculated death and that the destruction in Gaza has been at a level and speed not seen in any other conflict of the 21st century.

Taken with the broader picture of Israel’s military campaign and the cumulative impact of its policies and acts, the only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn is that Israel is demonstrating genocidal intent, the report says.
