Global isolation of Israel and America due to crimes and genocide in Gaza
reported Mehr News Agency quoting Elium’s website, genocide is often referred to as the “worst crime”; A term that was coined after the Nazi Germany era in World War II and refers to a very specific type of mass killing that deserves the highest level of condemnation.
Nicole Naria, political and social reporter website “VOX” (VOX) started its report with this definition and asked if this definition necessarily applies to the Zionist regime as well Is it spread?
He said that the Zionist regime, where “many children of Holocaust survivors live” should not commit such a crime, and now human rights groups, academics and even South Africa have criticized this country. They have accused them of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
These accusations are not new and spread immediately after the Zionist regime’s response to the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation on October 7, 2023.
He continued that the question that now arises after a year is whether the evidence supporting these claims has increased?
Naria noted that she and her colleague Sigal Samuel interviewed researchers in October last year to investigate the “allegations” of genocide, and noted that some of them were present at the time rather than what happened in Gaza. It is definitely called genocide.
He added that most of them had doubts and stated that proving genocide requires meeting the high standards of international law. Also, many of them declared that Israel probably committed crimes “against humanity” or “war crimes” which are genocide according to international law, but They still refused to rule on the genocide in Gaza.
According to this American website, since those interviews were conducted, especially with the deterioration of the situation in Gaza, which has turned into ruins. And the number of Palestinian martyrs has reached more than 40,000 people, the discussions around this issue have made considerable progress.
Naria explained that a report by the International Organization for Refugees released in September showed evidence of an “acute hunger crisis in Gaza and the signs of famine-like conditions in the northern regions during the first half of 2024” revealed that one of the reasons is the Zionist regime’s prevention of aid reaching this besieged region.
Among the recent developments that led to the expansion of the war to Lebanon, after the Zionist regime imposed “more control” on the West Bank, Naria reached out to these researchers to see if their views on the genocide in Gaza have changed.
He said that among the five researchers, most of them are now convinced that the crimes that occurred in this area have the necessary legal conditions to be defined as genocide.
According to the “Vox report, if an official sentence of genocide is issued by the International Court of Justice, it can have legal consequences and political consequences.
There are different ways to define the concept of genocide, but the International Court of Justice only considers its legal definition according to the Genocide Convention, which is an international treaty that has been in force since 1951. And 153 countries, including the Zionist regime and its closest ally, the United States, have ratified it, it is considered a crime.
According to the Genocide Convention, the definition of genocide is: “any act committed with the intent to destroy all or part of an ethnic, racial, national, or religious group.”
According to this definition, Raz Sigal, professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of a..”>Stockton of New Jersey, USA said: “I fully support the description of the Israeli attack on Gaza as a clear example of genocide”.
Adam Jones, professor of political science at the University of British Columbia, also stated: I had the case of genocidal acts of this Israeli attack on Gaza, during the last year due to the human killings and the destruction of houses, infrastructures and communities.
Ernesto Frediga, professor of political science And peace studies at the University of Notre Dame, also moved in the same direction and called the operation of the Israeli army a genocide.
The main turning point in the views of Frediga and many human rights experts, the Zionist ground invasion of the city Rafah was in the south of the Gaza Strip in May.
Frediga finally concluded that it is not yet clear how the International Court of Justice will rule. But even if the court does not issue a verdict regarding genocide, it cannot stop the international community from taking action to stop the events in Gaza.
Sigal, a professor at Stockton University, “I don’t think we should sit on our hands and wait for these institutions to confirm or deny the genocide while we are all witnessing the genocide before our eyes,” he said. He stated that “the process of fundamentally changing the system has really begun, and Israel and the United States have become very isolated today.”
