Gaza: Has Israel taken enough action to prevent incitement to genocide? | BBC News

In January, the UN's top court ordered in an interim ruling that Israel must take all measures “to prevent and punish” genocidal acts – including incitement to genocide – against Palestinians in Gaza, but stopped short of telling it to halt the war.

The highly anticipated hearing at the International Court of Justice was part of a case brought to the court by South Africa, accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

Israel has rejected the accusation as "wholly unfounded".

Since the ruling, Israel has been accused of allowing inflammatory public statements to continue.

BBC News Arabic has examined such statements and investigates what action Israel has taken to prevent incitement to Genocide.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza to destroy Hamas in response to its attack on southern Israel on 7 October, during which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

More than 40,430 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

What an absurd title: has Israel done enough to prevent genocide? The question makes as much sense as asking whether Hitler "did enough" to protect the Jewish population.

[mohamedali]

Israel's logic is that nothing justifies Oct. 7 but Oct. 7 justifies everything.

[basstrap]

234 Palestinians had been murdered in the West Bank alone in 2023 before Oct 7th. Some people seem to think that the history of this conflict began on Oct 7th for some reason. 😂

[error]

The Gaza health system broke down a long time ago they have no ability to get an accrue count of the deaths or dig missing people out of the rubble

[Alainh]

How can you prevent what you are actually doing. This is absurd

[ZelM-hzob]

Genocide is not just in words it is being actively pursued

[ziptink]

The answer is pretty clearly an emphatic ‘no’…

[k-man]

I just can’t believe the whole world leaders watching this and do nothing it’s heartbreaking to watch💔

[sebi]

Most of these soldiers are actually American citizen.

[outsidersongs]

An odd question when they are actively perpetrating genocide publicly.

[maybraik]

Not only incitement, it is actions ob the ground everyday.
The declarations reflect perfectly the actions on the ground .
But the western allies of israel care more about the declarations because it shame them as supporters of israel

[mazzYadi]

We never forget the sides that support Israel in this horrible genocide in Palestine

[markusbisma]

From the river to the sea Palestine will be free

[MoezQm]

Answer: No
Another question: why has the BBC been so reticent to call out Israel for the genocide that it is committing?
Or how about: Why has British media been so reluctant to question UK politicians like Sir Kid Starver and David Lackey on their complicity in the genocide and support for an Apartheid regime?

Gigi & Bella Hadid father said when Jews were oppressed in Europe and their ship was denied entrance to UK, USA they head to Palestine. Palestinians open their hearts & homes to those refugees! His father took 2 families into his home for 2 years. When Haddid pregnant mother was about to deliver him, she went to his grandparents house. When she returned home her guests took over her house and wouldn't let her in. Palestinians then became the refugees in their own country !!!

+90000 dead according to reports of US healthcare workers.

The fact that you even have to ask this question makes you complicit.

[baitcat]

Look at all these bots. Everyone with a number after their name is a bot. Don't argue with them because they don't exist

[EricAllen]

Voting #GreenParty this year, both major parties in the US are complicit
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩

[Noivasjesse]

These guys need separation of church and state
