In light of the jurisprudential criteria regarding genocide laid out by the International Tribunals and the UN, which is outlined in Article 6 of the Rome Statute, the acts intentionally committed by the terrorist group Hamas indeed constitute a genocide against the Palestinian people, because by forcing civilians to remain in their homes despite warnings of attack, they are knowingly “killing members of the group” and “deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”; and by involving civilians and minors in the conflict as militants and human shields, they are “causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group.” embajadadeactivistasporlapaz/en/press/news/hamas-holding-palestinian-people-hostage #williamsotosantiago #globalembassyofactivistaforpeace #humanrights #unitednations #values #respect #righttolive #neverforget #dignity #peace #genocide #holocaust #holocaustsurviver #universityforums #tracestoremember #voluntary #positiveactions #judicialforums #survivor #peace
