Amnesty International Rewrites Genocide Definition

Human rights organisation Amnesty International has accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians during the war with Hamas and other terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip.

It published a report on Thursday claiming that:

“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.”

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have responded to Amnesty’s accusations saying:

“The IDF takes all feasible measures to mitigate harm to civilians during operations”
and is
“actively working to dismantle Hamas military infrastructure while adhering to international law.”

But more importantly, experts in the area of international law have revealed that Amnesty is rewriting the definition of genocide in order to use the law against genocide as a weapon with which to harm Israel.

In an interview with i24 News, Natasha Hausdorff highlights that not only does Amnesty’s report include factual misrepresentations but it also includes substantial misrepresentations of what international law says, and what genocide means in the context of international law.

“Here we have amnesty rewriting the definition of genocide in the same way that they rewrote the definition of apartheid when they produced a previous report accusing Israel of that.”
