GENOCIDE

In plain words and in the context of Gaza, genocide means the deliberate and systematic killing of a large number of Palestinians but at once, with the aim of destroying the population such as by resorting to massacres and killing families in whole or in part.

In the context of international law, genocide is defined as follows:

Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide:

Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

GLOSM/PARES considers gender killings, which means the specific killing of women, children, and babies, as acts amounting to genocide.

When acts and or activities by the Israeli war belligerent targeting the colonized people in Gaza are systematic, and or are on a large scale, we consider these acts and activities as shown in the 'breadcrumbs'. This does not include violations, which refer to breaches of rules and international law.
