On March 22nd, this journalist detailed the findings of a UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on “Israel’s systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since 7 October 2023.” That investigation focused primarily on the hideous, industrial scale rape and sexual abuse of male and female Palestinian detainees in Zionist Occupation Force prisons, a phenomenon so pervasive it can only be dedicated, determined policy, signed off upon and directed by the highest levels of the Israeli government.

Reinforcing that horrifying conclusion, buried within the Commission’s report are bombshell passages unequivocally charging the Zionist entity with deliberately committing “genocidal acts” in Gaza, consciously and intentionally “calculated to bring about the physical destruction of Palestinians as a group.” The details provided are irresistibly persuasive, and point to Israel being in flagrant breach of both the Rome Statute, and Genocide Convention. In a truly just world, the mainstream media’s mass omertà on this landmark ruling would in itself be a criminal act.

Remember, kids: Don't do genocide, or else after only two years of murdering people wholesale the UN might say something about it and let you keep murdering.

But if you try to liberate half of your country from illegally established military occupation and dictatorship they will immediately send 2 million soldiers against you, kill 20% of your population and bomb you till there is nothing more to bomb, then make you the most sanctioned country in history for 70 years and counting.

I think he's talking about Korea based on the figures he used.

Gotta get this news from some random blog because imperial news won't talk about it.

Yup, and this isn’t the exception to the rule. It’s the rule, as I try to explain: https://lemmy.ml/comment/12094932

Hard to feel bad for the genocided when they become the genociders! Free Palestine!

It's anti-semitic to conflate judaism with zionism.

Jews were genocided by nazis, while zionists collaborated with nazis.

while zionists collaborated with nazis

Zionists used to collaborate with Nazis. They still do, but they used to too.

Israelis claim victimhood for their own deeds. Nothing changed the past 80 years.
