Amnesty International investigation concludes Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
Amnesty International’s research has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, the organization said in a landmark new report published today.
The report, 'You Feel Like You Are Subhuman': Israel’s Genocide Against Palestinians in Gaza, documents how, during its military offensive launched in the wake of the deadly Hamas-led attacks in southern Israel on 7 October 2023, Israel has unleashed hell and destruction on Palestinians in Gaza brazenly, continuously and with total impunity.
“Amnesty International’s report demonstrates that Israel has carried out acts prohibited under the Genocide Convention, with the specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza. These acts include killings, causing serious bodily or mental harm and deliberately inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction. Month after month, Israel has treated Palestinians in Gaza as a subhuman group unworthy of human rights and dignity, demonstrating its intent to physically destroy them,” said Agnès Callamard (b. 1965), Secretary General of Amnesty International.
“Our damning findings must serve as a wake-up call to the international community: this is genocide. It must stop now.”
“States that continue to transfer arms to Israel at this time must know they are violating their obligation to prevent genocide and are at risk of becoming complicit in genocide. All states with influence over Israel, particularly key arms suppliers like the USA and Germany, but also other EU member states, the UK and others, must act now to bring Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza to an immediate end.”
Over the past two months the crisis has grown particularly acute in the North Gaza governorate, where a besieged population is facing starvation, displacement and annihilation amid relentless bombardment and suffocating restrictions on life-saving humanitarian aid.
“Our research reveals that, for months, Israel has persisted in committing genocidal acts, fully aware of the irreparable harm it was inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza. It continued to do so in defiance of countless warnings about the catastrophic humanitarian situation and of legally binding decisions from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordering Israel to take immediate measures to enable the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza,” said Agnès Callamard.
“Israel has repeatedly argued that its actions in Gaza are lawful and can be justified by its military goal to eradicate Hamas. But genocidal intent can co-exist alongside military goals and does not need to be Israel’s sole intent.”
Amnesty International examined Israel’s acts in Gaza closely and in their totality, taking into account their recurrence and simultaneous occurrence, and both their immediate impact and their cumulative and mutually reinforcing consequences. The organization considered the scale and severity of the casualties and destruction over time. It also analysed public statements by officials, finding that prohibited acts were often announced or called for in the first place by high-level officials in charge of the war efforts.
“Taking into account the pre-existing context of dispossession, apartheid and unlawful military occupation in which these acts have been committed, we could find only one reasonable conclusion: Israel’s intent is the physical destruction of Palestinians in Gaza, whether in parallel with, or as a means to achieve, its military goal of destroying Hamas,” said Agnès Callamard.
“The atrocity crimes committed on 7 October 2023 by Hamas and other armed groups against Israelis and victims of other nationalities, including deliberate mass killings and hostage-taking, can never justify Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.”
International jurisprudence recognizes that the perpetrator does not need to succeed in their attempts to destroy the protected group, either in whole or in part, for genocide to have been committed. The commission of prohibited acts with the intent to destroy the group, as such, is sufficient.
Amnesty International’s report examines in detail Israel’s violations in Gaza over nine months between 7 October 2023 and early July 2024. The organization interviewed 212 people, including Palestinian victims and witnesses, local authorities in Gaza, healthcare workers, conducted fieldwork and analysed an extensive range of visual and digital evidence, including satellite imagery. It also analysed statements by senior Israeli government and military officials, and official Israeli bodies. On multiple occasions, the organization shared its findings with the Israeli authorities but had received no substantive response at the time of publication.
Unprecedented scale and magnitude
Israel’s actions following Hamas’s deadly attacks on 7 October 2023 have brought Gaza’s population to the brink of collapse. Its brutal military offensive had killed more than 42,000 Palestinians, including over 13,300 children, and injured over 97,000 more, by 7 October 2024, many of them in direct or deliberately indiscriminate attacks, often wiping out entire multigenerational families. It has caused unprecedented destruction, which experts say occurred at a level and speed not seen in any other conflict in the 21st century, levelling entire cities and destroying critical infrastructure, agricultural land and cultural and religious sites. It thereby rendered large swathes of Gaza uninhabitable.
Mohammed, who fled with his family from Gaza City to Rafah in March 2024 and was displaced again in May 2024, described their struggle to survive in horrifying conditions:
“Here in Deir al-Balah, it’s like an apocalypse… You have to protect your children from insects, from the heat, and there is no clean water, no toilets, all while the bombing never stops. You feel like you are subhuman here.”
Israel imposed conditions of life in Gaza that created a deadly mixture of malnutrition, hunger and diseases, and exposed Palestinians to a slow, calculated death. Israel also subjected hundreds of Palestinians from Gaza to incommunicado detention, torture and other ill-treatment.
Viewed in isolation, some of the acts investigated by Amnesty International constitute serious violations of international humanitarian law or international human rights law. But in looking at the broader picture of Israel’s military campaign and the cumulative impact of its policies and acts, genocidal intent is the only reasonable conclusion.
Intent to destroy
To establish Israel’s specific intent to physically destroy Palestinians in Gaza, as such, Amnesty International analysed the overall pattern of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, reviewed dehumanizing and genocidal statements by Israeli government and military officials, particularly those at the highest levels, and considered the context of Israel’s system of apartheid, its inhumane blockade of Gaza and the unlawful 57-year-old military occupation of the Palestinian territory.
Before reaching its conclusion, Amnesty International examined Israel’s claims that its military lawfully targeted Hamas and other armed groups throughout Gaza, and that the resulting unprecedented destruction and denial of aid were the outcome of unlawful conduct by Hamas and other armed groups, such as locating fighters among the civilian population or the diversion of aid. The organization concluded these claims are not credible. The presence of Hamas fighters near or within a densely populated area does not absolve Israel from its obligations to take all feasible precautions to spare civilians and avoid indiscriminate or disproportionate attacks. Its research found Israel repeatedly failed to do so, committing multiple crimes under international law for which there can be no justification based on Hamas’s actions. Amnesty International also found no evidence that the diversion of aid could explain Israel’s extreme and deliberate restrictions on life-saving humanitarian aid.
In its analysis, the organization also considered alternative arguments such as ones that Israel was acting recklessly or that it simply wanted to destroy Hamas and did not care if it needed to destroy Palestinians in the process, demonstrating a callous disregard for their lives rather than genocidal intent.
"Our damning findings must serve as a wake-up call to the international community: this is genocide. It must stop now."
- Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International
However, regardless of whether Israel sees the destruction of Palestinians as instrumental to destroying Hamas or as an acceptable by-product of this goal, this view of Palestinians as disposable and not worthy of consideration is in itself evidence of genocidal intent.
Many of the unlawful acts documented by Amnesty International were preceded by officials urging their implementation. The organization reviewed 102 statements that were issued by Israeli government and military officials and others between 7 October 2023 and 30 June 2024 and dehumanized Palestinians, called for or justified genocidal acts or other crimes against them.
Of these, Amnesty International identified 22 statements made by senior officials in charge of managing the offensive that appeared to call for, or justify, genocidal acts, providing direct evidence of genocidal intent. This language was frequently replicated, including by Israeli soldiers on the ground, as evidenced by audiovisual content verified by Amnesty International showing soldiers making calls to “erase” Gaza or to make it uninhabitable, and celebrating the destruction of Palestinian homes, mosques, schools and universities.
Killing and causing serious bodily or mental harm
Amnesty International documented the genocidal acts of killing and causing serious mental and bodily harm to Palestinians in Gaza by reviewing the results of investigations it conducted into 15 air strikes between 7 October 2023 and 20 April 2024 that killed at least 334 civilians, including 141 children, and wounded hundreds of others. Amnesty International found no evidence that any of these strikes were directed at a military objective.
In one illustrative case, on 20 April 2024, an Israeli air strike destroyed the Abdelal family house in the Al-Jneinah neighbourhood in eastern Rafah, killing three generations of Palestinians, including 16 children, while they were sleeping.
While these represent just a fraction of Israel’s aerial attacks, they are indicative of a broader pattern of repeated direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects or deliberately indiscriminate attacks. The attacks were also conducted in ways designed to cause a very high number of fatalities and injuries among the civilian population.
Inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction
The report documents how Israel deliberately inflicted conditions of life on Palestinians in Gaza intended to lead, over time, to their destruction. These conditions were imposed through three simultaneous patterns that repeatedly compounded the effect of each other’s devastating impacts: damage to and destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure and other objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population; the repeated use of sweeping, arbitrary and confusing mass “evacuation” orders to forcibly displace almost all of Gaza’s population; and the denial and obstruction of the delivery of essential services, humanitarian assistance and other life-saving supplies into and within Gaza.
After 7 October 2023, Israel imposed a total siege on Gaza cutting off electricity, water and fuel. In the nine months reviewed for this report, Israel maintained a suffocating, unlawful blockade, tightly controlled access to energy sources, failed to facilitate meaningful humanitarian access within Gaza, and obstructed the import and delivery of life-saving goods and humanitarian aid, particularly to areas north of Wadi Gaza. They thereby exacerbated an already existing humanitarian crisis. This, combined with the extensive damage to Gaza’s homes, hospitals, water and sanitation facilities and agricultural land, and mass forced displacement, caused catastrophic levels of hunger and led to the spread of diseases at alarming rates. The impact was especially harsh on young children and pregnant or breastfeeding women, with anticipated long-term consequences for their health.
"The international community’s seismic, shameful failure for over a year to press Israel to end its atrocities in Gaza, by first delaying calls for a ceasefire and then continuing arms transfers, is and will remain a stain on our collective conscience."
- Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International
Time and again, Israel had the chance to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, yet for over a year it has repeatedly refused to take steps blatantly within its power to do so, such as opening sufficient access points to Gaza or lifting tight restrictions on what could enter the Strip or their obstruction of aid deliveries within Gaza while the situation has grown progressively worse.
Through its repeated “evacuation” orders Israel displaced nearly 1.9 million Palestinians – 90% of Gaza’s population – into ever-shrinking, unsafe pockets of land under inhumane conditions, some of them up to 10 times. These multiple waves of forced displacement left many jobless and deeply traumatized, especially since some 70% of Gaza’s residents are refugees or descendants of refugees whose towns and villages were ethnically cleansed by Israel during the 1948 Nakba.
Despite conditions quickly becoming unfit for human life, Israeli authorities refused to consider measures that would have protected displaced civilians and ensured their basic needs were met, showing that their actions were deliberate.
They refused to allow those displaced to return to their homes in northern Gaza or relocate temporarily to other parts of the Occupied Palestinian Territory or Israel, continuing to deny many Palestinians their right to return under international law to areas they were displaced from in 1948. They did so knowing that there was nowhere safe for Palestinians in Gaza to flee to.
Accountability for genocide
“The international community’s seismic, shameful failure for over a year to press Israel to end its atrocities in Gaza, by first delaying calls for a ceasefire and then continuing arms transfers, is and will remain a stain on our collective conscience,” said Agnès Callamard.
“Governments must stop pretending they are powerless to end this genocide, which was enabled by decades of impunity for Israel’s violations of international law. States need to move beyond mere expressions of regret or dismay and take strong and sustained international action, however uncomfortable a finding of genocide may be for some of Israel’s allies.
“The International Criminal Court’s (ICC) arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (b. 1949) and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant (b. 1958) for war crimes and crimes against humanity issued last month offer real hope of long-overdue justice for victims. States must demonstrate their respect for the court’s decision and for universal international law principles by arresting and handing over those wanted by the ICC.
“We are calling on the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to urgently consider adding genocide to the list of crimes it is investigating and for all states to use every legal avenue to bring perpetrators to justice. No one should be allowed to commit genocide and remain unpunished.”
Amnesty International is also calling for all civilian hostages to be released unconditionally and for Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups responsible for the crimes committed on 7 October to be held to account.
The organization is also calling for the UN Security Council to impose targeted sanctions against Israeli and Hamas officials most implicated in crimes under international law.
Background
On 7 October 2023 Hamas and other armed groups indiscriminately fired rockets into southern Israel and carried out deliberate mass killings and hostage-taking there, killing 1,200 people, including over 800 civilians, and abducted 223 civilians and captured 27 soldiers. The crimes perpetrated by Hamas and other armed groups during this attack will be the focus of a forthcoming Amnesty International report.
Since October 2023, Amnesty International has conducted in-depth investigations into the multiple violations and crimes under international law committed by Israeli forces, including direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects and deliberately indiscriminate attacks killing hundreds of civilians, as well as other unlawful attacks on and collective punishment of the civilian population. The organization has called on the Office of the ICC Prosecutor to expedite its investigation into the situation in the State of Palestine and is campaigning for an immediate ceasefire.

The Fort A.P. Hill Family took a day off from work to have some fun during Organization Day on May 22. The day kicked off with a Memorial Day flag-raising ceremony to honor those who have fallen in battle. Next was a 5-kilometer run and walk at Beaverdam Pond.
As the day unfolded there was a spirited kick ball competition, a fishing derby, a climbing wall, canoe races, horseshoes and a tug of war. There was also a great lunch of grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad, chips and watermelon for dessert.
The culmination of the day was the dunking booth where garrison commander Lt. Col. Peter E. Dargle and Command Sgt. Maj. Keith R. Whitcomb took turns getting dunked. It was all for a good cause, those who threw the balls to dunk the command team donated canned goods and other items to the A.P. Hill Food Bank.

History
The 1812 founded Society of Friends of Music of the Austrian Empire (now the Society of Friends of Music in Vienna) has set itself essentially three major tasks:
- The organization of concerts
- Collecting material of all kinds for documenting the music and musical life
- The maintenance of a conservatory.
The latter, often referred to as the Vienna Conservatory, became the leading musical training center of the Austro-Hungarian Empire but it had, because for sponsorship by a private association it had become too big, to be handed over in 1909 to state control; first it became the academy and finally today's University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. The other two self-set tasks fulfills the Society of the Friends of Music today as ever organized privately and independently on the basis of an association. Its home is the "Musikverein" (Vienna I, Bösendorfer street 12), built according to plans by Theophil Hansen and founded in 1870. It is the third own building in the history of the company.
The documentary and scientific objectives are met in archives, libraries and collections of the Society of Friends of Music, though, often abbreviated just to "Archive". This historic division split into three groups is concerning the content structured as follows:
Archives: music and letter autographs, music manuscripts, the actual file archive on the history of the Society and the Conservatory (with student matriculation register).
Library: handwritten and printed books (including medieval music manuscripts and tablatures), song books, magazines and other periodicals, librettos, printed documents of various kinds.
Collections: historic and non-European musical instruments, musical mementos, portrait and picture collections (portraits, topographic, historical, musical and theatrical representations in oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, all printing techniques and photographs), busts, statues, reliefs and medals.
The beginning of the collection activity falls into that period where just developed the musical historicism, for example, sheet music that became obsolete or musical instruments not in use anymore that appeared collectible. The stock has been and is by purchases and gifts, in the 19th century for a long time also by surrender of goods of the statutory copies by the police authority, supplemented.
The responsibility initially was in the hands of volunteer employees and officials of the Society (among them such well-known figures such as Raphael Georg Kiesewetter or Aloys Fuchs were) and since 1865 in those of salaried archive directors and their staff. Among them were well-known scientists such as Gustav Nottebohm, Carl Ferdinand Pohl, Eusebius Mandyczewksi and Karl Geiringer.
The purchases ranged from the library of Ernst Ludwig Gerber, in which again the library of Johann Gottfried Walther was included (1814), and the 1824 purchased musical instrument collection of Franz Glöggl from this one to acquisitions from the estate of Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert and further to the in late 19th century become customary and until the mid-1930s possible acquisitions of special individual pieces by patrons. After an interruption during the Nazi and postwar period it was not until the mid-1970s that it came to a continuous and significant continuation of collecting.
This break was twofold. After the dissolution ("decommissioning") of the Society and its subsequent inclusion in the Berlin "State Theater and Stage Academy" was planned this facility, which still bore the name of "Society of Friends of Music", exclusively to concentrate on the concert circuit. The music instrument collection was placed in the Museum of Art History. Archive and library should be transferred to the National Library (which ultimately not happened). Every active collection activity the by the new rulers taken over employees was prohibited. Finally, they were allowed, as long as archive and library are located at the Musikverein building, as hitherto, to accept any gifts, but with the following restrictions: only of small value and not owned by Jews or Jewish pre-possession. Higher-quality gifts and objects owned by Jews were reserved for other institutions. In May 1945, the Society as an independent association was re-established. Severe war damage to the building, the difficult re-establishement of a concert circuit and all the economic problems of this time a long consolidation phase have required that with several setbacks lasted to the sixties. Thus, for example, was doubted whether they could take back at all the collection of musical instruments located at the Kunsthistorisches Museum, so it came only in 1971 to a partial and in 1988 to a total return. It was only in the seventies, that it came to the slow resumption of a targeted programmatic collection activity for archive, library and collection through purchases or with the effort to get special gifts or estates.
Besides the already mentioned examples of purchases, from the beginning on gifts were essential for the building up of the stocks. Often essential pieces came from individuals, but crucial for the growing reputation of stocks were estates. Highlighted only should be the estates of archduke Rudolph of Austria (1831), Joseph Sonnleithner (1835), Carl Czerny (1857), Joseph Ritter von Spaun (1865), Simon Sechter (1867), Leopold von Sonnleithner (1873), Ludwig Ritter von Kochel (1877), Count Victor Wimpffen (1892), Johannes Brahms (1897), Nicolaus Dumba (1900), Ludwig Bösendorfer (1919), Alfred Grünfeld (1927) and after a long pause that of Gottfried von Einem (as premature legacy 1979), Francis Burt (1981 premature legacy), Karl Pfannhauser (1984), Immogen Fellinger (2001) and Ernst Märzendorfer (2009). Even of the well-known gift donors, leaving stocks from their own property, only a few can be mentioned in selection: The city of Lübeck (1814), Georg August Griesinger (1814), Raphael Georg Kiesewetter (several times), Aloys Fuchs (many times), archduke Leopold Ludwig of Austria (1865), Joseph Dessauer (1870), emperor Franz Joseph I. (1879, 1905), family Haslinger (1887), Dr. Joseph Standthartner (1888), Marie Schumann (1913), Else Billroth (1915), Alma Maria Gropius-Mahler (1917), Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1917, 1937), monsignor Dr. Charles Weczerzik-Planheim (1923, a violin from Franz Geissenhoff, remarkable because this was the only string instrument of standard type or conventional design and till the end of the 20th century remained that was included in the collection of musical instruments), Anton von Webern (1937), Anthony van Hoboken (1977), HC Robbins Landon (2002), Renate and Kurt Hofmann (2002), Gottfried Scholz (2007, 2014).
Although according to the original intentions "music in all its styles" should be collected and documented, hence, without time and spatial restriction, and here actually also sources on English, French, Italian and Eastern European music history exist, in the stock development but main areas have resulted which may be titled as follows: Renaissance and early Baroque, Italian Baroque opera, Vienna classical and pre-classical, Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and his circle, Gustav Mahler, Austrian music of the 20th century.
The broadly based collection area the stocks also for the art, literature, cultural and social history makes interesting.
Several organizations came together again this holiday season to give the gifts of giving and community spirit. Viva East Bank! and its nonprofit partners hosted their third annual holiday at Hiatt Middle School.

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo is a unique organization of Argentine women who have become human rights activists in order to achieve a common goal. For nearly three decades, the Mothers have fought for the right to re-unite with their abducted children.
In protests, they wear white scarves to symbolize the white dove of peace. The name of the organizations comes from the Plaza de Mayo in central Buenos Aires, where the bereaved mothers and grandmothers first gathered. They gather every Thursday afternoon for a half hour walk around the plaza.
The Mothers' association was formed by women who had met each other in the course of trying to find their missing sons and daughters, who were abducted by agents of the Argentine government during the years known as the Dirty War (1976–1983), many of whom were then tortured and killed. The 14 founders of the association, Azucena Villaflor de De Vincenti, Berta Braverman, Haydée García Buelas, María Adela Gard de Antokoletz, Julia Gard, María Mercedes Gard and Cándida Gard (4 sisters), Delicia González, Pepa Noia, Mirta Baravalle, Kety Neuhaus, Raquel Arcushin, Sra. De Caimi, started the demonstrations on the Plaza de Mayo, in front of the Casa Rosada presidential palace, on 30 April 1977. Villaflor had been searching for one of her sons and her daughter-in-law for six months. She was taken to the ESMA concentration camp on 10 December 1977.
The military have admitted that over 9,000 of those kidnapped are still unaccounted for, but the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo say that the number is closer to 30,000. The numbers are hard to determine due to the secrecy surrounding the abductions. Three of the founders of the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo have also "disappeared". After the fall of the military regime, a civilian government commission put the number of disappeared at close to 11,000.
