UN experts said in a report on Tuesday that Israel committed the crime against humanity of “extermination” by killing civilians sheltering in schools and religious sites in Gaza, part of a “concerted campaign to obliterate Palestinian life.”

The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel was due to present the report to the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council on June 17.

“We are seeing more and more indications that Israel is carrying out a concerted campaign to obliterate Palestinian life in Gaza,” former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, who chairs the commission, said in a statement.

    The US was all for it until it was financially beneficial to get involved. Shit, we had our own concentration camps.

      I don’t think the US was sending weapons to Germany to be used in murdering Jews as they are doing now for Israel to murder Palestinians.

      If I remember it correctly the US was internally divided in who to support in the beginning of the war but wasn’t actually militarilly helping the Axis even before their Genocide of the Jewish People (and others such as the Roma People, who curiously are seldom talked about) became widelly known.

      The situation now is vastly more clear-cut and beyond any doubt and the US keeps providing military and diplomatic support to the genociders even when the count of murdered babies has long exceeded the thousands (the list of babies one year old or younger murdered by Israel in the first 3 months of the Genocide was already 17 pages long).

      In the scale of Evil, the support for the Nazis of part of the population and some of the power structures of the US early in WWII is not even in the same universe as the current level of American power structures support for for a widelly-know, clear as day, already legally confirmed, Genocide which is in the final mass extermination stage that will make it a Holocaust. This shit now is a close as it gets to commiting it without actually pulling the trigger.
