Israel is actively committing the crime of genocide. The evidence is clear: Israel has taken diverse methods to ensure “the destruction of the essential foundations of the life” of Palestinians. These actions include the 16-year-long siege on Gaza. They have cut off food, water, fuel, and electricity, denied access to healthcare, ordered 1.1 million people out of their homes, bombed evacuation routes, and even bombed and targeted hospitals, churches, mosques, and health workers. Incitement to genocide is also punishable under the Genocide Convention. Israeli officials have openly called for the annihilation of the captive population.
