This is pure blood libel. Next you'll write that the IDF uses the blood of Muslim children to make matzoh.

You obviously know nothing about UNRWA's 65 year history as a hijacked Palestinian agency with a UN imprimatur. Now it's a Hamas tool with a hijacked UN name attached. To get a job with UNRWA in Gaza Hamas membership was obligatory. Hamas operated in, under and out of UNRWA facilities and all of Gaza's hospitals. Your tax $ at work financing terrorism. Hamas hijacks the aid and sells it on the black market to make money for its billionaire leaders living in Doha.

UN Watch has the receipts: V8A&t=8s

Hamas leader Abu Marzouk said "the aid if for the fighters, only the leftovers are for civilians. Any attempt to take the aid by civilians will be met with full force. The quote's in here:

He said the same about the tunnels: https://www.memri.org/reports/hamas-official-mousa-abu-marzouk-tunnels-gaza-were-built-protect-hamas-fighters-not

Genocide, war crimes blood libel, denial of Israel’s right to self-defense.

Polish Jewish Shoah survivor, Raphael Lemkin, created this word and defined genocide as “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.

Without intention there is no genocide. To judge intention ask this question: if the victims surrender will it end or accelerate the killing? Compare Gaza to these cases:

Rwanda, 1994: Watch the movie Hotel Rwanda. Surrender would certainly have brought massacre to the Tutsis sheltering in the hotel. Nobody contests the verdict of genocide the Hutus committed. Israel in Gaza equivalent to Hutus’ genocide in Rwanda? Really?:

Bosnia, 1995: The killing of 8000 civilians after Dutch UN peacekeepers withdrew from Srebrenica and Gorazde tells you: accelerate. Genocide? The verdicts against Mladic, Karadzic and Milosevic are clear.

Warsaw, 1943: Would the ghetto rebels’ surrender have stopped or slowed the trains taking them to the gas chambers of Treblinka? No, it was their revolt and refusal to surrender that led to rebellion in Treblinka that shut it down. Gaza and Warsaw are polar opposites.

So apply this question to Gaza: would Hamas’ surrender stop or accelerate the killing of Hamas’ human shields? Roof knock warning shots and IDF Unit 504, that calls and messages Gazans to tell them to evacuate targets, tell us that Israel’s intention is the opposite of the first three cases. Israel’s intentions are the exact opposite of Rwanda’s 1994 Hutus, Bosnia’s 1995 Serbs and wartime Germany’s. No intention = no genocide.

If the IDF is genocidal, then the Korean War, the 1st and 2nd Gulf Wars, the Iraqi-Kurdish siege of Mosul, with its 3:1 civilian to combatant death ratio, and the Vietnam War were all genocidal.

Gaza’s population in 2005 when Israel ended its occupation: 1.345 million. In 2023: 2.3 million. Israel’s Arab population in 1948: 167000. Today: 2.1 million. Israel is the least competent genocidal state in human history.

War Crimes

The UN statute on war crimes specifically protects civilian objects that are “undefended”, which means that:

UN statute defines Hamas’ human shield strategy as a war crime:

“Utilizing the presence of a civilian or other protected person to render certain points, areas or military forces immune from military operations;

So who’s legally responsible for the destruction of an object undefended before Hamas built a tunnel under it, stored weapons in it and fired RPGs and rocket from it? The terrorists who use it and its civilians within as shields. That’s the law. Here’s Hamas’ model

How a civilian object loses its protected status

Which combatants commit war crimes when they keep civilians from fleeing a war zone, build tunnels using child labor, steal civilians’ food and medical aid and then confess that this is their strategy:

Who’s not delivering 700 processed and inspected truckloads of aid sitting on the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom crossing? Hamas-UNRWA.
