Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention
@LemkinInstitute
The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it.
Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp.
But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now.
We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial.

Last weekend, Israel bombed #Rafah’s humanitarian safe zone, murdering over 45 people. The majority were children, women, and elderly.
The U.S. made these bombs. Our lawmakers voted to send them to Israel.
To those in power, we say: Where is the Red Line?
And we demand: No More Money for Massacre!
Join us in grief, rage, and determination as we rally in #cambridgema on Sunday June 2 to demand our elected officials hear us.

Days after dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli air strikes against displacement camps in Southern Gaza, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley wrote “Finish them!” on Israeli artillery shells.
L'ex-canditate à l'investiture républicaine Nikki Haley, lors d'un passage en Palestine occupée, s'est amusée à écrire un message sur une bombe prête à être larguée sur #rafah Le message est clair : "FINISH THEM" qu'on peut traduire par "finissez les" ou mieux "Tuez les tous", "Finissez le travail."

World Court orders Israel to halt assault on Gaza's #Rafah
Judges at the top United Nations court ordered Israel on Friday to immediately halt its military assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, in a landmark emergency ruling in South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide.
While the International Court of Justice, or World Court, has no means to enforce its orders, the case was a stark sign of Israel's global isolation over its campaign in Gaza, particularly since it began its offensive against Rafah this month against the pleas of its closest ally the United States.
Judge Nawaf Salam, president of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) presides over the International Court of Justice ( #ICJ), during a ruling on South Africa's request to order a halt to Israel's Rafah offensive in Gaza as part of a larger case brought before the #Hague-based court by #SouthAfrica.
