Supporters of genocidal Hamas falsely accuse Israel of genocide.The libel that Israel is committing a non-existent genocide or ethnic cleansing is a cruel irony.Hamas has made clear in its Charter, words and actions that it is committed to the genocide of the Jewish people, whether they live in Israel or not. The crime of genocide is defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide approved by U.N. General Assembly Resolution 260 A (III) of Dec. 9, 1948 and entered into force on Jan. 12, 1951. The crime of genocide requires the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. Hamas’ words and deeds clearly meet this requirement. Falsely accusing Israel of genocide in its current defensive war against Hamas is a particularly cruel and odious blood libel. After all, the crime of genocide was only recognized as a result of the Holocaust. The Nazis called their genocide the “final solution.” The hideous pro-Hamas chant there is “one solution, intifada revolution,” channels this horrific ambition.jns.org/supporters-of-genoci… via @JNS_org
