The UN has finally called the slaughter in Gaza a genocide.
That's been obvious for more than a little while now, but okay.
What does Israel have to say about this?
Israel has adamantly rejected genocide allegations against it as an antisemitic “blood libel,” and its Foreign Ministry issued an angry response Tuesday that it “categorically rejects this distorted and false report.”
“Three individuals serving as Hamas proxies, notorious for their openly antisemitic positions — and whose horrific statements about Jews have been condemned worldwide — released today another fake ‘report’ about Gaza.”
Only it's not "Fake". It's proven to be the truth.
These are the genocide conventions being violated that prove that this is a genocide:
-Killing members of the group through attacks on protected objects; targeting civilians and other protected persons; and the deliberate infliction of conditions causing deaths
-Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group through direct attacks on civilians and protected objects; severe mistreatment of detainees; forced displacement; and environmental destruction
-inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of the group in whole or in part through destruction of structures and land essential to Palestinians; destruction and denial of access to medical services; forced displacement; blocking essential aid, water, electricity and fuel from reaching Palestinians; reproductive violence; and specific conditions impacting children
-Imposing measures intended to prevent births through the December 2023 attack on Gaza's largest fertility clinic, reportedly destroying around 4,000 embryos and 1,000 sperm samples and unfertilised eggs

That means that they have an obligation to intervene.
Just think how many lives and how much misery this cost in the meantime.
