The Genocidal Reality: Analyzing Israel's Actions in Gaza Through the Lens of International Law

The term genocide, defined by the United Nations, refers to actions committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group in whole or in part. Israel's actions in Gaza, particularly since the escalation of violence in recent years, have been identified by multiple genocide scholars and human rights organizations as fulfilling these criteria. Genocide includes killings, infliction of serious bodily or mental harm, the deliberate creation of conditions to destroy the group, and efforts to prevent births within the group. This paper explores these acts and demonstrates how Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in Gaza constitutes genocide under international law.

Genocidal Acts as Defined by the UN

The UN's 1948 Genocide Convention outlines five acts that define genocide:

Killing members of the group: This includes widespread killing aimed at wiping out a population.
Causing serious bodily or mental harm: This refers to physical violence, but also the infliction of emotional and psychological trauma that destroys a group's sense of identity.
Deliberately inflicting living conditions meant to destroy the group: This includes deprivation of food, medical aid, and resources that lead to the group's physical destruction.
Preventing births: Acts such as forced sterilization or blocking the group from reproducing.
Forcibly transferring children to another group: This refers to the expulsion of the group's children to strip them of their identity.

Israel’s actions in Gaza match these definitions, especially in terms of mass killings, deprivation, and the targeting of civilians, which contribute to the gradual destruction of the Palestinian people. Forensic Architecture’s Cartography of Genocide report documents this systematically, showing how Israel’s policies directly align with these genocidal acts.

Evidence of Genocidal Acts in Gaza

Systematic Killing of Palestinians

One of the most significant markers of genocide is mass killing, particularly when the intent is to destroy an entire group. During the most recent military operations in Gaza, Israeli forces have killed thousands of Palestinians, many of whom were civilians. Forensic Architecture’s report describes how entire neighborhoods were destroyed, and homes were targeted indiscriminately, resulting in countless deaths. During the 2024 escalation, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that thousands of civilians were killed, many of them women and children, which exemplifies the intent to destroy the Palestinian population.

Deprivation of Basic Needs and Intent to Destroy

Another significant aspect of genocide is the deliberate deprivation of resources necessary for survival. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have documented how Israel has intentionally cut off access to food, water, medical supplies, and electricity in Gaza. These acts are intended not only to cause immediate harm but also to prevent the survival of the Palestinian population. The deprivation of clean water and food has exacerbated the suffering in Gaza, further highlighting Israel’s genocidal policies. These conditions lead to the destruction of the population’s health, morale, and prospects, and can be seen as a calculated effort to weaken and destroy the Palestinian people as a group.

Deliberate Targeting of Palestinian Culture and Identity

Israel’s actions have also been recognized as targeting Palestinian culture and identity, which is another genocidal tactic. Dr. Lee Mordechai’s report emphasizes that Israel's efforts to suppress Palestinian voices and media, particularly those documenting the violence, are part of a broader strategy to erase Palestinian identity. This strategy not only destroys the physical population but also aims to erase the history and culture of the Palestinian people, a core component of genocide. The suppression of Palestinian identity is essential for Israel to maintain its narrative that Palestinians do not have a legitimate right to the land or their own identity.

Recognition by Genocide Scholars

Several genocide scholars and Holocaust experts have recognized Israel's actions in Gaza as fitting the criteria of genocide. Holocaust scholar Amos Goldberg notes that the use of military force against civilians, the destruction of homes and infrastructure, and the systematic targeting of non-combatants are all indicators of genocidal intent. In his scholarly work, Goldberg argues that Israel’s military actions in Gaza amount to a systematic attempt to destroy the Palestinian population, fitting the criteria for genocide (Goldberg, 2024).

Similarly, a comprehensive analysis conducted by the International Human Rights Clinic at Boston University concludes that Israel’s actions, including the aerial bombardment of civilian areas, the use of disproportionate force, and the targeting of hospitals and schools, qualify as acts of genocide. The report emphasizes that these actions are not isolated incidents but part of a broader strategy aimed at exterminating the Palestinian people (University Network for Human Rights, 2024).

Patterns of Intentional Harm

Genocide does not occur in isolated events but follows a systemic pattern over time. Al Haq’s report demonstrates how Israel’s actions in Gaza fit this pattern. The killing of civilians, the bombing of civilian infrastructure, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people have been systematically documented as part of an ongoing process to destroy the Palestinian population. The report by Airwars, which analyzed patterns of harm in Gaza, highlights how Israeli airstrikes and ground operations have disproportionately impacted civilians, confirming the intentionality behind the violence. These patterns are unprecedented in modern warfare, and they indicate that Israel’s actions go beyond military strategy and are geared toward the destruction of Palestinian society (Airwars, 2024).

Israel's actions in Gaza represent a clear example of genocide as defined by international law. The mass killings, destruction of essential resources, and the deliberate targeting of Palestinian culture and identity fulfill the criteria outlined by the United Nations and scholars in the field of genocide studies. The global community must recognize these crimes for what they are and take concrete steps to hold those responsible accountable.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

In 1987, Costa Rica was 21% forest. Today it's 57%.

In the 1990s, Costa Rica passed a law that pays landowners directly for the ecosystem services their forest provides: carbon storage, watershed protection, biodiversity, soil stability. The payments are funded by a tax on fossil fuels.

Keep your trees standing and the government cuts you a check. Clear them and you lose the income.

Nearly a million hectares have been protected or restored under the program. Species that had retreated or disappeared from large parts of the country are recovering. The forest came back because the incentive structure changed, not because people were told to care more.

But it crashed the economy, right? Not at all.

Costa Rica became the top per capita agricultural exporter in Latin America. Tourism built around its forests and biodiversity became one of its largest industries. The economy didn't absorb the cost of keeping the forest. The forest became part of what grows their economy.

This is the version of the story most people never hear, the one where protecting nature and economic growth pointed in the same direction because we humans designed it that way.

It's not forests or the economy and it never had to be.
