UN experts say ceasefire needed as Palestinians at 'grave risk of genocide'

At risk? They are actively experiencing a genocide

The Israeli mission to the U.N. in Geneva called the comments "deplorable and deeply concerning" and blamed Hamas for civilian deaths.

(Insert "why would they do this" meme here.)

Hamas is evil, yes, but that doesn't prevent the Israeli government from also being evil.

It's clear and all reasonable people agree, Israel must cease their ethnic cleansing.

Risk?!? The Palestinian's have been murdered for 50+ yrs in a genocidal occupation. Silly UN.

Does this make UN anti-semitic?

Everyday more people are dying, its a horror story.

"Risk" of genocide? Risk?

They need to update their fucking AI model.

The burning house is at risk of catching fire. The dead man is at risk of heart failure. This headline is at risk of being full of shit.

Netanyahu is committing genocide in Gaza in much the same way that Milosovic did in Bosnia.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

GENEVA, Nov 2 (Reuters) - United Nations experts called on Thursday for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, saying time was running out for Palestinian people there who find themselves at "grave risk of genocide".

Nearly four weeks of Israeli bombardment against the Gaza Strip in retaliation for deadly attacks by Hamas gunmen in southern Israel on Oct. 7 have killed more than 9,000 people, made up of a majority of women and children, health authorities in the Hamas-run enclave say.

"We remain convinced that the Palestinian people are at grave risk of genocide," the group of experts, made up of seven U.N. special rapporteurs, said in a statement.

Speaking to Reuters after the experts' statement was issued, one of its signatories said the people of Gaza had been deprived of the "the most basic elements for living."

"We are using the term risk of genocide because the process that is (underway) is absolutely indiscriminate, affecting, in this case, more than 2 million people," said Pedro Arrojo Agudo, Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation.

"The situation in Gaza has reached a catastrophic tipping point," the U.N. experts said, adding that Gazans had been left with scarce water, medicine, fuel and essential supplies while facing health hazards.

Can we start calling Israel a NAZI state?

Trudeau almost called for a ceasefire today, before remembering not to

What even is the purpose of a ceasefire? I don't even understand why the occupation government is against it, they could use it to their advantage. Agree to a ceasefire, give some time for people to desperately try to escape Gaza, allow some aid to the people remaining there, and when it's all over and people stop seeing you as the monsters you are, then you can continue your "war" and less people will care.

Afraid Hamas might use that time and aid? Well don't worry, your army is already getting wrecked on the ground, but it doesn't matter to you; you can continue wasting equipment, men, and oxygen for as long as you like, while Hamas cannot. Your army will take control of the area, and either get rid of everyone there or get kicked out a second time, either way, you have achieved your actual goals.

More empty calls for ceasefire with not a single plea for Hamas to so much as release the hostages.

Genuine question to all Palestinian sympathizers: don't you see how you encourage Hamas to bring even more kids to the active war zone with your comments and protests?
