Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt(@FranceskAlbs)
Please read and share.
Genocide is the intention to destroy a group as such. Using a ‘triple lens approach’ allows to easily understand it. All is needed is looking at:
The totality of conduct (which may include either crimes per se – killing, torture, forced displacement, etc – or acts conducive to crimes),
Against the totality of the group (e.g. Israel treats any Palestinian, old or young, as a security threat, arrestable or even killable, which facilitates all manners of unlawful conduct and justification thereof);
In the totality of the land (the entire occupied Palestinian territory, namely what Israel claims sovereignty on and where Palestinians ‘must’ be uprooted/eliminated).
Far from being ‘a novel approach’, what I propose is common sense, based on int’l law and jurisprudence.
My last report, Genocide as Colonial Erasure, explains the long-standing colonial logic of the unfolding genocide, and I am glad @Law4Palestine summarized it.
