Geneva, (ST) – The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese affirmed that there are logical reasons to say that “Israel” has committed many acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians in Gaza Strip.
AP quoted Albanese as saying in a report she published yesterday and will submit today to the Human Rights Council in Geneva: The overwhelming nature and scale of the Israeli attack on Gaza, and the devastating life conditions it caused, reveal an intention to physically destroy the Palestinians as a group.
In the report entitled “Anatomy of a Genocide,” Albanese concluded that there are logical reasons to say that the ceiling has been reached stating that acts of genocide were committed against the Palestinians in Gaza. She mentioned three types of these acts, most notably the killing of individuals in the group and causing serious harm to the physical or mental integrity of members of the group and intentionally subjecting the group to living conditions likely to lead to complete or partial physical destruction.
Albanese also mentioned in her report that the pictures of dead civilians after their displacement to southern Gaza, accompanied by statements by some “senior Israeli officials” declaring their intention to forcibly displace the Palestinians out of Gaza and replace them with Israeli settlers, logically leads to the conclusion that the evacuation orders and security zones were used as tools to carry out genocide, leading to ethnic cleansing.
