Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories: ‘Israel commits crimes like it breathes. It must be stopped’ | #ELPAÍS English
![Q. Can we talk about genocide without a ruling from an international court?
A. Was the Armenian genocide not a genocide because no court declared it to be so? No court established the Guatemalan genocide or that of Sabra and Chatila [Lebanon]. The genocide in Bosnia-Herzegovina was recognized this way only with respect to Srebrenica. Would we then say it wasn’t a genocide? And what about the Native Americans, the Inuit, the Aborigines in Australia, or the Nama and Herero in Namibia? Are they n…](https://mastodon.nl/system/media_attachments/files/114/760/294/084/344/388/original/74a9b40d538ae1da.png)

From Martin Shaw in New Lines magazine.
"I may have missed something, but the major Western publications that have recently carried “genocide” editorials or prominent features have devoted virtually no space to the measures that governments should take against Israel to stop the genocide. It’s as though they are saying, “Yes, it’s a genocide, but what can we do about it?” ...
"How many have identified the arms flows from their countries to Israel? How many have reported on the deep political ties between their ruling political parties and Israel? Or have covered military collaboration, which in the case of Britain has helped the Israeli military to keep bombing civilians over 21 months, through surveillance flights over Gaza and extensive data sharing? ...
"Since even genocide-aware media are not reporting how Israel’s policies are made possible by wider Western support, they are also very weak in identifying policies that might break it. ...
"Today, genocide scholars, the serious press and even voters have interpreted Gaza as a genocide — but the point is to stop it. Until we do that, we are still in denial."

Namibia observes first official Genocide Remembrance Day, marking the closure of German-run concentration camps in 1908.
This commemoration honors the victims of the Herero and Nama genocide, perpetrated by German colonial forces between 1904 and 1908. During this period, tens of thousands of Herero and Nama people were killed through mass executions, forced displacement, and starvation.

Two of Israel’s best-known human rights groups said Monday
that Israel was committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The two groups were B’Tselem, a rights monitor that documents the effects of Israeli policies on Palestinians,
and Physicians for Human Rights — Israel.
Their announcement was the first time major Israeli rights groups have publicly concluded that the Gaza war is a genocide,
an assessment previously reached by some organizations like Amnes…
