My fellow Americans, it's time to wake up. The power is in the hands of public opinion. US was the last supporter of Apartheid South African and when public opinion in the US turned, the Apartheid fell.

Israeli General Mattityahu Peled in 1992

"Anyone who says occupation corrupts was absolutely right and we have been occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip for the last 25 years; this is corrupting us."

"It is not so normal that to get American money in order to pay American debts but this has been arranged so the other half is going to put to establish more settlements in the occupied and tho at the time over the years when the United States clearly states that they are against setting up settlements in the occupied territories and they are against it because this is a violation of the Geneva Convention. I suppose because this may create an irreversible situation where there will be no solution to the Arab Israeli conflict.

Thank you for speaking the Truth, Francesca Albanese. Thank you. “the threshold indicating the commission of the crime of genocide against Palestinians as a group in Gaza has been met.”
Thank you.

Now. Will the World do anything about it? That is the Million Dollar Question.

[kristophgavin]

I guess Israel lived long enough to see themselves become the villain.

[dennyamohanga]

It's about land expansion, I think Israel has shown it's intentions
Netanyahu needs to be accountable for these crimes against humanity

[surfbis]

We can see it every day ourselves. It is unbelievable that there are still people denying genocide. We will not forget where you stood in these brutal days and these crimes against humanity.

Francesca Albanese -- "international lawyer and academic". ANYONE can determinate what is a genocide once he / she KNOWS the criteria.

There's about 2.1 million Israeli Arabs living in Israel proper. Not to be confused with Arabs living in what are called Palestine territories ( Gaza + W. Bank ). Both whose populations have experienced substantial growth.
The growth rate in the W. Bank and Gaza are 3.4% and 4%, respectively. Both being some of the highest growth rates on the planet. I'm not certain what the metrics are that determine if a genocide is or has been taking place. I might be going out on a limb here but I'll just assume robust growth rates in populations is not one of them.

Im trying to find other MSM report on this. Looks like its only on CNBC at the moment

[bobomaigret]

We all know it's genocide. Nevertheless, it is helpful to have the reality articulated with skill and accuracy.
