AK<p>FAQ: How does the report [Our Genocide] address the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023? | B'Tselem </p><p><a href="https://www.btselem.org/publications/202507_our_genocide" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">btselem.org/publications/20250</span><span class="invisible">7_our_genocide</span></a><br>———</p><p>>> … The report addresses the deep trauma experienced by Israelis that day, and the Israeli hostages, some of whom are still being held in Gaza. Our analysis shows how the Israeli government has cynically exploited the trauma experienced by many Israelis and used it to carry out genocide and ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip.</p><p>>> One crime does not justify another – certainly not the mass killing of civilians or an attempt to erase and destroy an entire group. There is nothing that can justify genocide, and starvation and destruction have nothing to do with self-defense. The only way to ensure that the horrors of 7 October do not recur is to immediately stop the annihilation, and demand equality, justice, freedom and security for all the people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/StopGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StopGenocide</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/BTselem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BTselem</span></a> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://lemmy.ml/c/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>palestine@lemmy.ml</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>palestine@a.gup.pe</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span></p>
