Israel and the Genocide Myth

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
The Israelis appear to be the most incompetent genocidaires to ever walk this earth and are responsible for the only large-scale annihilation campaign in history where the victim population actually increased. A quick glance at the numbers tells you that the definition of genocide has been turned upside down.

The overall health of the Palestinians has significantly improved since 1967, whether you look at life expectancy, infant mortality or health care. The total population of Palestine in 2014 was about 4.4 million, of whom some 2.7 million live in the West Bank and 1.7 million in the Gaza Strip. Data reveals that the Palestinian population is growing fast, roughly 2.5 percent a year or, put differently, over 30 percent faster than that of Israel. In the years 2000-2013 alone, the population of Gaza increased by 687,000 people and the West Bank enjoys an almost equally healthy growth rate. The Palestinian population is projected to continue to exceed Israeli growth because of higher fertility rates. According to the UN, by the year 2035, the Palestinian population is expected to increase by nearly 60 percent, compared to 40 percent in Israel. As such, the Israelis are allegedly not only responsible for a genocide which results in an above-average population growth rate, but also one in which the number of victims will eventually surpass that of the perpetrators.

And, as though the situation were not sufficiently bizarre, Israel also provides medical care for her victims, including the families of the enemy’s leadership, and drops leaflets, makes phone calls and gives warning shots before engaging in military action.

Those actions, in addition to a surge in maternity deaths due to restricted access to medical supplies, amounted to the crime against humanity of extermination, the commission said.

Israel, it said, is “deliberately inflicting conditions of life on the group (Palestinians) calculated to bring about its physical destruction and imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group".

“These violations not only caused severe direct physical and psychological harm to women and girls, but also had long-term, irreversible consequences for the psychological and reproductive health and fertility prospects of Palestinians as a whole,” Navi Pillay, chair of the committee, said in a statement.

The inquiry found that Israel conducted systematic assaults aimed at Gaza's healthcare facilities, specifically hospitals and clinics that offer reproductive health services.

This resulted in the almost complete collapse of the health sector's capacity to provide care for pregnant women and newborns, it said.

The investigation underlined that “severe restrictions on essential medical supplies and medicines exacerbated the deteriorating reproductive health of women and girls in Gaza, directly contributing to high maternal and newborn mortality rates.”

The report also condemned Israeli forces over using forced public stripping and sexual assault as part of their standard operating procedures to punish Palestinians
