This pattern of conduct, coupled with statements suggesting that some Israeli officials wished to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, may amount to the crime of genocide. (The crime of genocide requires committing acts of genocide with genocidal intent.) The Israeli government’s continuing blockade of Gaza, as well as its more than 17-year closure of the strip, amounts to collective punishment of the civilian population, a war crime. The closure also constitutes part of the continuing crimes against humanity of apartheid and persecution that Israeli authorities have been committing against Palestinians. Governments should not contribute to the grave crimes that Israeli officials are committing in Gaza. Those arming Israel should end their risk of complicity in atrocity crimes in Gaza and take immediate action to protect civilians with an arms embargo, targeted sanctions, and support for justice. |
