Deceitful UN Commission Falsely Accuses Israel of Genocide in Gaza

The United Nations has just produced another hit job against Israel. The new lopsided report, published by the misleadingly named “UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel,” accused Israel of committing genocide. The report alleged that Israeli authorities and security forces have carried out four genocidal acts enumerated by the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide “with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such.” These are “killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of the Palestinians in whole or in part, and imposing measures intended to prevent births.”
