  1. American funded Genocide and even when they catch them red handed they let them go ,in violation of there own laws ,and then lie for Israeli war criminals , Netinyahoo for war crimes and the Americans as well.

  2. They were found guilty ,and America has broken its own laws ,and lets war criminals off scott free and those Units are now killing in Gaza , how many of those soldiers were Americans .

  3. Israel is controlling the US politicians. These two countries, the US and Israel, they know that they can away with war crimes and organisation or nobody can do anything to them… These two countries are not even signatories to the ICC. The US committed war crimes for decades; a killing machine.

  4. More of the same from this administration. I am OLD and disgruntled with Biden over this. Israel is basically practicing fascism, believing it is above lawful standards. Not surprised that WMD Bush started the trend.

  5. Genocide, the deliberate and systematic extermination of a particular group based on ethnicity, nationality, religion, or other defining characteristics, is unequivocally abhorrent and morally reprehensible. Throughout history, genocide has been perpetrated by individuals, groups, and even governments, leading to immeasurable human suffering, loss, and devastation. There are several compelling reasons why genocide is universally condemned and why it stands as a profound violation of human rights, dignity, and basic decency.

    First and foremost, genocide represents a gross violation of the fundamental principle of human equality. Every individual possesses inherent worth and dignity by virtue of being human, irrespective of their race, ethnicity, religion, or any other characteristic. Genocide undermines this principle by denying the humanity of entire groups and treating them as disposable or inferior solely based on arbitrary distinctions. It reduces complex and diverse communities to mere categories to be eradicated, denying them the right to exist and flourish.

    Furthermore, genocide inflicts immeasurable suffering upon its victims and their communities. It involves not only the physical extermination of individuals but also the destruction of their cultural heritage, social fabric, and collective memory. Survivors are left traumatized, grieving, and often displaced, struggling to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of unimaginable horrors. The intergenerational impact of genocide perpetuates cycles of trauma and distrust, hindering reconciliation and perpetuating conflict for generations to come.

    Genocide also represents a profound betrayal of the most basic principles of justice and human rights. It violates the right to life, the right to freedom from discrimination, and the right to freedom from persecution, all of which are enshrined in international law and recognized as fundamental to human dignity. By targeting individuals based on their identity rather than their actions, genocide denies them the most fundamental of rights – the right to exist and be treated with dignity and respect.

    Moreover, genocide undermines the very fabric of civilization itself by eroding trust, cooperation, and solidarity among nations and peoples. It breeds fear, suspicion, and resentment, fueling cycles of violence, revenge, and further conflict. The failure to prevent and punish genocide not only perpetuates impunity but also sends a dangerous message that such atrocities can be tolerated or ignored, emboldening perpetrators and increasing the likelihood of future violence.

    It should be obvious at this point but, genocide is not only morally repugnant but also a threat to the very foundations of humanity. It represents a betrayal of our shared humanity, a violation of basic human rights, and a profound injustice against its victims and their communities. As individuals and as members of the global community, we have a moral obligation to stand against genocide in all its forms, to uphold the principles of justice and human rights, and to work tirelessly to prevent such atrocities from ever occurring again. Only by acknowledging the horrors of the past and committing ourselves to building a more just and compassionate world can we honor the memory of those who have perished and ensure a future free from the scourge of genocide.
