The UN has become the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s mouthpiece. It has a long history of consistently demonizing Israel, so this news is expected.
There is no genocide against Palestinians. It’s a necessary war against Hamas, which aims to obliterate the Jewish state.
Reuters reports below that “Israel says it is targeting Hamas.” The Palestinians have for a considerable period used human shields in their propaganda war against Israel, so it isn’t a matter of “Israel says.” Note how the UN refuses to condemn this ongoing act by Hamas or to demand that Egypt, Jordan and Turkey take in Palestinian refugees.
“4-UN experts say ceasefire needed as Palestinians at ‘grave risk of genocide,'” by Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber and Emma Farge, Reuters, November 2, 2023:
GENEVA, Nov 2 (Reuters) – A group of independent United Nations experts called on Thursday for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, saying time was running out for Palestinians there who are at “grave risk of genocide”.
Nearly four weeks of Israeli bombardment on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for deadly attacks by Hamas gunmen in southern Israel on Oct. 7 have killed more than 9,000 people, most of them women and children, health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave say.
Israel says it is targeting Hamas, not civilians, and accuses the Iran-backed militant group of using residents as human shields.
“We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide,” the group of experts, made up of seven U.N. special rapporteurs, said in a statement.
“We demand a humanitarian ceasefire to ensure that aid reaches those who need it the most.”
The Israeli mission to the U.N. in Geneva called the comments “deplorable and deeply concerning” and blamed Hamas for civilian deaths.
“The current war was brought upon Israel by Hamas terrorists who committed a massacre on October 7, butchering 1,400 people and kidnapping 243 children, men and women,” the mission said, referring to the attacks which were the deadliest in Israel’s 75-year-history.
The International Criminal Court defines the crime of genocide as the specific intent to destroy in whole, or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group by killing its members or by other means, including imposing measures intended to prevent births or forcibly transferring children from one group to another.
Asked about the independent experts’ statement at a press briefing, Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said a determination of genocide could only be made by a relevant U.N. judicial body…..

Where were these rapporteurs when the Armenians were starved for a year and then 100,000 in a day were cleansed from Artsahk?

Exactly

The UN is particular about which GENOCIDES it cares about. In 301 A.D. Armenia became the world’s first Christian nation. With each passing century it has become smaller and smaller. During the Armenia Genocide (1915 – 1921) alone, Turkish troops slaughtered 2 Million Armenians.

In 1948 when Israel came into being, Gaza had a population of about 200,000 people.
.
Double that every 20 years for the next 80 years … 200,000 in 1948 becomes 400,000 in 1968, then 800,000 in 1988, and 1.6 million by 2008. The current population is 2 Million. Gaza has experienced one of the world’s highest sustained annual increases in population since its inception. That is a very remarkable feat for so-called Oppressed People.

There is not a single Islamic country word-wide that is not at some stage of conflict with one or more of its non-Muslim neighbors. The pattern that has existed for the past 1400 years is that Muslim populations have increased, and when they reach a large enough size, they make War on their neighbors.
.
I am reasonably certain that you will not find any verses in the Qur’an that mention birth control. Here is a 100% novel approach to the problem of Hamas terrorism. Is it possible that the solution may be as simple as the choice between War and Birth Control? With a small amount of effort GAZA could become the world’s first peaceful Islamic country.
