    Must be sharing the feelings of average Germans at the end of the war when they had to face up to what they had allowed to go on.

    The ones who hadn’t died in the war, you mean. Or do you also think “German” is a word that can’t mean “soldier”?

    Famine is present in some areas of Gaza and is imminent in other areas. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned more than two months ago, “1.1 million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger

    What does this statement mean? It certainly can’t mean 1.1 million people have been unable to acquire food and eat it, because they have and have continued to.

    This occurred through the imposition of a total siege over Gaza that involved completely closing the three border crossing points, Rafah, Kerem Shalom and Erez, from 8 October 2023 for extended periods

    It is not a crime of war to besiege an enemy city, nor to deny an enemy people access to a nation they wish to attack.

    What’s the source for your claim that 52,000 civilians died in Gaza?

      Israel is supposed to be at war with Hamas not Palestine.

        Why wouldn’t they be at war with Gaza when they were attacked by Gazans?

          Sort of like how a terrorist group killed a bunch of americans in new York, and then americans went to war with those terrorists, for the most part working with the local government and civilians.

          Do you see how you can be at ear with a group rather than a nation?

      Do you know what the word “average” means?

      Apparently not.

      The point is that disgusting pos like you who had been able to pretend that the slaughter they were complicit in wasn’t as bad.

      Just like you’re pretending you have the right to slaughter Palestinians.

      Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Gallant

      On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for  the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023:

      Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the Statute;

      Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health contrary to article 8(2)(a)(iii), or cruel treatment as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)©(i);

      Wilful killing contrary to article 8(2)(a)(i), or Murder as a war crime contrary to article 8(2)©(i);

      Intentionally directing attacks against a civilian population as a war crime contrary to articles 8(2)(b)(i), or 8(2)(e)(i);

      Extermination and/or murder contrary to articles 7(1)(b) and 7(1)(a), including in the context of deaths caused by starvation, as a crime against humanity;

      Persecution as a crime against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(h);

      Other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity contrary to article 7(1)(k).

      #My Office submits that the evidence we have collected, including interviews with survivors and eyewitnesses, authenticated video, photo and audio material, satellite imagery and statements from the alleged perpetrator group, shows that Israel has intentionally and systematically deprived the civilian population in all parts of Gaza of objects indispensable to human survival.
