Amnesty International accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza A damning new report by the rights group finds Israel’s war on Gaza meets legal threshold for genocide against the Palestinian people. Injured Palestinian civilians, including children, are brought to al-Ahli Hospital for medical treatment following an Israeli attack in Gaza City, on Wednesday [Abood Abu Salama/Anadolu] By Alastair McCready 5 Dec 2024 Human rights group Amnesty International has concluded that Israel’s war on Gaza meets the legal threshold for genocide in a damning new report. The report published on Thursday, titled, “You Feel Like You Are Subhuman”: Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza, is the culmination of months of research by Amnesty, including extensive witness interviews, analysis of “visual and digital evidence”, including satellite imagery, and statements made by senior Israeli government and military officials. Amnesty said the Israeli military has committed at least three of the five acts banned by the 1948 Genocide Convention, including indiscriminate killings of civilians, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and “deliberately inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction”. “Month after month, Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its intent to physically destroy them,” said Agnes Callamard, secretary-general of Amnesty International. “Our research reveals that, for months, Israel has persisted in committing genocidal acts, fully aware of the irreparable harm it was inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza,” Callamard said. “It continued to do so in defiance of countless warnings about the catastrophic humanitarian situation and of legally binding decisions from the International Court of Justice [ICJ] ordering Israel to take immediate measures to enable the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza,” she said. “Our damning findings must serve as a wake-up call to the international community: this is genocide. It must stop now,” she added. Callamard said that taking into “account the pre-existing context of dispossession, apartheid and unlawful military occupation” in which the Israeli military’s crimes against the civilian population of Gaza have been committed, “we could find only one reasonable conclusion: Israel’s intent is the physical destruction of Palestinians in Gaza”. ‘Seismic, shameful failure’ The Israeli military’s argument that it is lawfully targeting Hamas and other fighters who are located among the civilian population of Gaza – and that it is not deliberately targeting the Palestinian people – does not stand up to scrutiny, Amnesty said. “The presence of Hamas fighters near or within a densely populated area does not absolve Israel from its obligations to take all feasible precautions to spare civilians and avoid indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks,” the rights group said. “Regardless of whether Israel sees the destruction of Palestinians as instrumental to destroying Hamas or as an acceptable by-product of this goal, this view of Palestinians as disposable and not worthy of consideration is in itself evidence of genocidal intent,” it said. Amnesty also said that it found “no evidence” that the reported diversion of humanitarian aid by armed groups in Gaza “could explain Israel’s extreme and deliberate restrictions on life-saving humanitarian aid” to the civilian population of the war-torn territory. Israeli authorities have yet to respond to the Amnesty report. Officials in Israel have consistently rejected allegations of committing genocide in Gaza, claiming they are acting in self-defence following the Hamas-led October 7 attacks and that criticising their war is anti-Semitic. The Amnesty report, however, also states that the crimes documented in Gaza were often “preceded by officials urging their implementation”. More than 100 statements by Israeli military and government officials were reviewed in the report that “dehumanised Palestinians, called for or justified genocidal acts or other crimes against them”. Of those statements, 22 were made by senior officials in charge of managing the war on Gaza and “appeared to call for, or justify, genocidal acts, providing direct evidence of genocidal intent”. “This language was frequently replicated, including by Israeli soldiers on the ground” who made calls to “erase” Gaza and celebrated “the destruction of Palestinian homes, mosques, schools and universities”, Amnesty said. Amnesty’s Callamard said the international community was also guilty of a “seismic, shameful failure” in Gaza by failing to “press Israel to end its atrocities”. By delaying calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and continuing to send weapons to Israel, the international community’s failure “will remain a stain on our collective conscience”, Callamard said. “Governments must stop pretending they are powerless to end this genocide, which was enabled by decades of impunity for Israel’s violations of international law,” she said. “States need to move beyond mere expressions of regret or dismay and take strong and sustained international action, however uncomfortable a finding of genocide may be for some of Israel’s allies.” Source: Al Jazeera
Interesting question indeed. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/inbreeding-by-country Inbreeding by Country / Consanguinuity by Country 2024 Inbreeding refers to situations in which individuals who are closely related to one another (such as siblings or cousins) procreate and produce offspring. Inbreeding can occur among humans as well as animals. Inbreeding is uncommon in most developed countries, but contributes a statistically relevant portion of the total number of births in certain developing countries. The practice of marriages between close relatives (typically cousins) is known as consanguineous marriage. Although rare in the Americas and modern Europe, consanguineous marriage is notably common in North Africa and the Middle East, where it is a traditional and respected aspect of many Arab and Muslim cultures. In many countries, consanguineous marriages and inbreeding are considered illegal. Sexual relations between consanguineous couples is typically referred to as incest in these regions. What country has the highest rate of inbreeding in the world? Although precise per-country data is rare, it is widely accepted that countries in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Western Asia have the highest rates of inbreeding in the world. Countries with traditionally high rates of consanguineous marriage and inbreeding include Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, and Israel. What segments of the human population are known for inbreeding? A certain degree of inbreeding can be difficult to avoid in isolated or cloistered societies, such as the populations of small islands or ethnic/cultural groups such as immigrants or Amish, where the range of possible marriage partners is limited. These conditions can artificially limit potential mates for members of the population, driving up rates of inbreeding. For example, members of the Amish community may have higher rates of inbreeding because they tend to marry other Amish people, which shrinks the size of the population. Members of the Mennonite population may also have higher rates of inbreeding for the same reason. Finally, there are some genetic disorders that are more common among Hasidic and Haredi Jewish groups because they tend to marry members of the same population as well.
Israel threatens to expand war deeper into Lebanon if ceasefire with Hezbollah collapses Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said any infraction of the truce would be punished, however small. Wednesday 04/12/2024 https://thearabweekly.com/israel-th...eper-lebanon-if-ceasefire-hezbollah-collapses An Israeli man looks out as he stands near a minibus that was damaged by a rocket launched from Lebanon bin Kibbutz Kfar Giladi, near Israel’s border with Lebanon, December 2, 2024. (Reuters) BEIRUT/JERUSALEM – Israel threatened on Tuesday to return to war in Lebanon if its truce with Hezbollah collapses, and said this time its attacks would go deeper and target the Lebanese state itself, after the deadliest day since the ceasefire was agreed last week. In its strongest threat since the truce was agreed to end 14 months of war with Hezbollah, Israel said it would hold Lebanon responsible for failing to disarm militants who violate the ceasefire. “If we return to war we will act strongly, we will go deeper, and the most important thing they need to know: that there will be no longer be an exemption for the state of Lebanon,” Defence Minister Israel Katz said. “If until now we separated the state of Lebanon from Hezbollah … it will no longer be [like this],” he said during a visit to the northern border area. Despite last week’s truce, Israeli forces have continued strikes against what they say are Hezbollah fighters ignoring the agreement to halt attacks and withdraw beyond the Litani River, about 30 km from the frontier. On Monday, Hezbollah shelled an Israeli military post, while Lebanese authorities said at least 12 people were killed in Israeli air strikes on Lebanon. Another person was killed on Tuesday by a drone strike, Lebanon said. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said any infraction of the truce would be punished, however small. “We are enforcing this ceasefire with an iron fist,” he said ahead of a cabinet meeting in the northern border city of Nahariya. “We are currently in a ceasefire, I note, a ceasefire, not the end of the war,” he added. Top Lebanese officials urged Washington and Paris to press Israel to uphold the ceasefire, after dozens of military operations on Lebanese soil that Beirut has deemed violations, two senior Lebanese political sources told Reuters on Tuesday. The sources said caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, a close Hezbollah ally who negotiated the deal on behalf of Lebanon, spoke to officials at the White House and French presidency late on Monday. Mikati, quoted by the Lebanese news agency, said that diplomatic communications had intensified since Monday to stop Israeli violations of the ceasefire. He also said a recruitment drive was under way by the Lebanese army to strengthen its presence in the south. US State Department spokesman Matt Miller told reporters on Monday that the ceasefire “is holding” and that the US had “anticipated that there might be violations.” The truce came into effect on November 27 and prohibits Israel from conducting offensive military operations in Lebanon, while requiring Lebanon to prevent armed groups including Hezbollah from launching attacks on Israel. It gives Israeli troops 60 days to withdraw from south Lebanon. A mission chaired by the United States is tasked with monitoring, verifying and helping enforce the truce, but it has yet to begin work. Lebanon’s Mikati had a meeting in Beirut on Monday with US General Jasper Jeffers, who will chair the monitoring committee. Two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters that France’s representative on the committee, General Guillaume Ponchin, would arrive in Beirut on Wednesday and that the committee would hold its first meeting on Thursday. “There is an urgency to finalise the mechanism, otherwise it will be too late,” one of the sources said, referring to Israel’s gradual intensification of strikes despite the truce.

Keep drinking the media sop about terrorists and keep ignoring the land theft issue and apartheid. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Israel–Hamas war As of 3 December 2024, over 46,000 people (44,502 Palestinian and 1,706 Israeli) have been reported killed in the Israel–Hamas war, including 134–146 journalists and media workers, 120 academics, and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, including 179 employees of UNRWA. In Nov 2024, the UN published its analysis covering only victims verified from at least three independent sources over 6 months span between Nov 2023 and April 2024 found that 70% of Palestinian deaths in Gaza are women and children. 44,502 Palestinian versus 1,706 Israeli. Meanwhile America continues to supply Israel with bombs while pretending concern about casualties.
