Acknowledging that putative security measures against members of a group are often pretext for mass killing and genocide as it has become in this case; Therefore, the International Association of Genocide Scholars: Declares that Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948); Declares that Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity as defined in international humanitarian law and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court; Calls upon the government of Israel to immediately cease all acts that constitute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza, including deliberate attacks against and killing of civilians including children; starvation; deprivation of humanitarian aid, water, fuel, and other items essential to the survival of the population; sexual and reproductive violence; and forced displacement of the population; Calls upon the government of Israel to comply with the Provisional Measures orders of the International Court of Justice; Calls upon the state parties of the International Criminal Court to comply with their obligations, cooperate with the Court, and surrender any individual subject to an arrest warrant; Calls upon all states to actively pursue policies to ensure respect for their obligations under international law, including under the Genocide Convention, the Arms Trade Treaty and international humanitarian law, with regards to Israel and Palestine; and Calls upon the government of Israel and all other United Nations members to support a process of repair and transitional justice that will afford democracy, freedom, dignity, and security for all people of Gaza. Current as of 28 July 2025 Resolution passed 31 August 2025 https://genocidescholars.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/IAGS-Resolution-on-Gaza-FINAL.pdf

People can "Declare" whatever they want, but until they show a meaningful set of facts and evidence and how they line up with the definition its hot air.
65k dead in 2 years of urban fighting including those that hamas killed and hamas is not a genoicde.
90% of aid being stolen before it reaches intended destination is not israeli induced famine.
Destroying infrastructure of your enemy is not a war crime.
5minArgument@reddit
You seem fairly well informed.
Curious. How did you react when you found out that the claims of Hamas stealing aid was all fabricated lies?
Did it change your opinion?
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
no independent evidence is not the same is a fabrication
5minArgument@reddit
Is it really true that ‘no evidence’ is evidence ?
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
No its true that no independent evidence of a thing doesn't mean hamas isnt stealing aid. Especially since 8l90% of aid is stolen.
5minArgument@reddit
Man, if only there was some way to verify this. Like with international observers …or journalists for that matter.
I mean, if no evidence is enough to justify mass starvation, imagine what they could do with some actual evidence.
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
If obly the aid wasn't being stolen before reaching its intended targets. But then if israel shoots at the looters you people screech about violence against civilians. They UN is free to send in more aid, they wont without escorts because its too dangerous.
5minArgument@reddit
Too dangerous because IDF has a long track record of targeting and killing aid workers and journalists.
Would add, so not true. Aid groups, monitoring groups and journalists have long been desperate to access Palestinian territories. This for many, many years…and long before this current situation.
Palestinians have been begging for observers, but Israel always refuses access.

Un data shows they just arnt making it. Thats not israel. Its palestinians starving their own out of greed.
5minArgument@reddit
Wondering if you personally question your beliefs on the subject?
I find it difficult to understand how you can stand by the claim Hamas is stealing the aid shipments and causing the starvation, when as you yourself said, there is no evidence.
As for the link, yea, but when you look at the reports from UN groups and others: like Doctors without borders and Human right Watch. And follow the general reporting on the situation on the ground. They all say the same thing, that Israel is blocking the aid.
To that point, Israel publicly states over and over that THEY ARE blocking aid.
So I'm left struggling with your logic, how can you accept the position of Israel without evidence...and then walk away justifying mass starvation.
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
Hamas doesnt have to be stealing all 90% for it to be palestinians stealing the aid because of greed. The aid is getting stolen before it gets to those actually in need of it. Israel isnt forcing bandits to steal and proce gouge.
5minArgument@reddit
You do realize ..? that Israel stands alone as the sole entity that could easily dispel and disprove all these reports of mass starvation and genocide.
All they have to do is simply allow a few observers and journalists access to Gaza…and the West Bank
Don’t you find it curious that, rather than simply let people in to prove them right, they are electing to systematically murder journalists and aid workers by the hundreds?
Just sayin’, that if it was me defending them, I would be very curious.
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
No one is contesting the aid being stolen. What's being contested is who is to blame for the ones starving. I contest its largely on the plaestinians for stealing the aid meant for the starving. Israel isnt responsible for what the plaestinians are doing to themselves.
5minArgument@reddit
?? You say “no one is contesting” yet you acknowledged earlier that there is no evidence of anyone stealing the aid.
Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds a lot like contesting.
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
The claim is specifically there isnt evidence HAMAS is stealing aid. It doesnt matter who is stealing it, whether its hamas, gangs, or selfish palestinians.
5minArgument@reddit
Yes, but you do see the issue here, right?
If Israel is claiming the reason it is blocking aid to Gaza is because Hamas is stealing it.
One should fairly expect some sort of evidence considering this claim is being used to justify a mass starvation campaign.
Is that not reasonable?
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
Are you sugesting no aid makesnits way to hamas? There doesnt need to be evidence for restriction based on possibility. Limited aid means limited ability for it to assist the war machine.
5minArgument@reddit
Hardly a war. It’s a defenseless population of refugees surrounded on all sides by a modern army, navy and air force.
War might be an appropriate term if the Palestinians had a military …and land.
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
Its a war against hamas. Perhaps palestiniansnshould not have supported hamas and their attacks. The march following 80% of palestinians supported the 10/7 Attacks and 10% believe hamas is committing war crimes with their video taped torture and murder of civilians. Most wanted this.
Old-Raspberry9684@reddit (OP)
Yes, ignore the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, B'tselem, Physicians for Human Rights, The Lemkin Institute, and Doctors without Borders. Ignore their multiple detailed reports that explain exactly how Israel is committing a genocide.
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
All the the reports have one thing in common. They allege without evidence and dont demonstrate how the conventions are being violated.
Do you think its reasonable to conclude Israel is trying attack and murder children because 50k have been injured, while also talking about how more than half the population are children? Oh by the way it also allegeges 150k have been injured.
Does it make any sense to accuse isreal of targeting children when they are claiming 1/3 of the injured are children when they are more than half the population?
Old-Raspberry9684@reddit (OP)
You aren't making any sense.
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
How can you claim Israel is targeting children on purpose be reconciled with there less injured by half than should be given the population. These are mutually exclusive propositions

I think it's safe to say that IAGS is Khamas.
onuldo@reddit
It's safe to say that their opinion is not objective and more ideologically driven.
IdiAmini@reddit
Of course we find a German defending a genocide. Who could have guessed
onuldo@reddit
At least we Germans know what Genocide is.
IdiAmini@reddit
Apparently not, because you keep supporting them while saying "never again"
onuldo@reddit
It doesn't make any sense to say "never again" and then support Hamas and other Palestinian extremists.
goonerladdius@reddit
Even Idi Amin is coming out to bat for humanity
IdiAmini@reddit
Reading is hard I guess. My username would get me hanged in Idi Amin's regime
Calling him mini would absolutely get me hanged
MinuteSport4755@reddit
Sit this one out lil bro, your state will be remembered for supporting this genocide and committing the holocaust.
onuldo@reddit
I'm not speaking for Germany, I'm only speaking for myself.
It's mainstream to be Anti-Israel.
I'm glad to share my own opinion.
bullhead2007@reddit
Classic German defending genocide.
onuldo@reddit
We know what Genocide means in Germany.
HalfLeper@reddit
Their ideology is “genocide is bad.”
salzbergwerke@reddit
We reached a point where using word "opinion" is pure Ideology. At some point the facts speak for themself. The IAGS basically gives facts a voice.
Old-Raspberry9684@reddit (OP)
Crazy leftists, at the very least, and therefore we can disregard what they have to say. /s
Old-Raspberry9684@reddit (OP)
Logically
BurstYourBubbles@reddit
The IAGS had been really relunctant to call what's happening in gaza a genocide. I feel this is a bigger deal than most realise. It will also be interesting to see the people that defend Israeli actions becoming more extreme and eccentric trying to justify their logic.
onuldo@reddit
I don't have to defend a mere claim without proof. That is what those "experts" somehow not understand.
BurstYourBubbles@reddit
Like I said, eccentric
onuldo@reddit
Like I said, I have nothing to proof or defend.
onuldo@reddit
I'm not Jewish btw.
bullhead2007@reddit
A German lying about a genocide? I did NAZI that coming.
onuldo@reddit
German this, German that...
They other guy from Canada calls this: "anti-intellectuell, extreme and eccemtric.
onuldo@reddit
You are very triggered.
HalfLeper@reddit
Badum tsch! 😂
RTDaacee@reddit
Ofc the German is pro genocide
Old-Raspberry9684@reddit (OP)
Agreed, it has taken the IAGS a very long time to resolve what many of us and other humanitarian organizations have been saying for many months now.
justhistory@reddit
Can someone explain to me why a more current resolution for Sudan is not on this list of resolutions? https://genocidescholars.org/publications/resolutions/
They have Darfur from 2005 but seems like the more recent conflict would warrant IAGS attention. Why is this such a largely forgotten/ignored conflict?
RICO_the_GOP@reddit
Because its not Israel defending itself from terrorism
