“claims genocide without proof”?
If 36,000 dead, bombings of hospitals, doctors, ambulances, enforced starvation and torture don’t constitute genocide in YOUR definition .. they do according to international law.

Palestinians returning to Jabalia after Israeli forces withdrew have found homes and infrastructure destroyed.

Statement by Richard Goldstone on behalf of the Members of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict before the Human Rights Council
Human Rights Council 12th Session – 29 September 2009 #gaza#westbank@palestine
The Israeli Knesset’s preliminary bill to designate UNRWA as a terrorist organisation is an outrageous attack on humanitarian assistance, and an act of collective punishment against the Palestinian people.
Israel’s allies, which are all members of the United Nations, must stand against this move to criminalise humanitarian assistance and ensure that #UNRWA can continue its essential work.

In the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of al-Issawiya, Israeli authorities reportedly forced a Palestinian to demolish his own home and displace his family of nine, claiming he lacked a permit to live there.
He was forced to carry out the demolition himself since Israeli authorities charge exorbitant fees if the municipality razes the structure.
The far-right Israeli security minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has threatened that Israel will destroy cities and towns in the occupied West Bank in the same way it has in Gaza.
Addressing residents of the Palestinian areas of Tulkarem, Nur Shams, Qalqilya and Shuweika, Smotrich wrote on X: “We will turn you into ruins like in the Gaza Strip if the terror you are perpetrating on the settlements continues.”
Israeli forces have carried out violent, near daily raids throughout these West Bank areas and others since October 7, regularly storming into homes, rounding up Palestinians en masse and bulldozing roads. During these raids, at least 519 Palestinians have been killed and more than 5,000 injured.
