The U.N. says it has fired nine staff members from its agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, after an internal investigation found they may have been involved in the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack against Israel.
The U.N, secretary-general’s office announced the move in a brief statement to journalists Monday. It did not elaborate on the UNRWA staffers’ likely role in the attack. It said the nine included seven staffers who were fired previously over the claims.
The UN Convention definition of genocide is clear on the topic:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/genocide
"any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
a) killing members of the group;
b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
c) deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
e) forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
Israel is now 5/5. They only had to do 1 for it to be considered a genocide.
There is no intent to destroy even in part the Palestine people.
If there was this would be a whole lot more than 40 thousand deaths in nearly a year of fighting. And don’t forget of those deaths how many are terrorists they are fighting?
They have to do it while having that intent. It’s clear imo it’s not their intent. Their intent is to destroy the Hamas terror organization.
“There is no intent to destroy even in part the Palestine people.”
Not according to multiple Israeli officials, including Netanyahu.

“We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly,” Israel’s Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant, said, describing the Israeli military’s response just days after Hamas’ attack. “We will eliminate everything - they will regret it,” Gallant added.
“There is one and only (one) solution, which is to completely destroy Gaza before invading it. I mean destruction like what happened in Dresden and Hiroshima, without nuclear weapons,” he said.
“There should be two goals for this victory: One, there is no more Muslim land in the land of Israel … After we make it the land of Israel, Gaza should be left as a monument, like Sodom”.
Yeah, Hamas are human savages for what they did, no? They will eliminate all of Hamas and make Hamas regret it? I don’t think they talk about the Palestine people just hamas.
It’s not quite what has happened though from what I see. Numbers I see are 55% of the buildings damaged or destroyed. As well as the death did not compare to Hiroshima. They gave them the chance to evacuate.
Right, one Israeli politician may have said that. Is that what’s going to happen? Netanyahu has shown willingness for a two state solution. People may not be 100% happy with his vision of it but he does have one.
