UN Entities, Expert Bodies, International Lawyers: Israel is Committing Genocide

Scott Burchill on X

The same people who, despite overwhelming evidence, deny that the IDF has targeted children in Gaza, also dispute the claim that Israel committed a genocide.

For those still in denial, here are some non-government sources.

This brief list doesn’t include the names of the increasing number of international lawyers who specialise in genocide studies and who have reached the same conclusion, including Omar Bartov, Daniel Blatman and Amos Goldberg (I’m A Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It, NYTimes, July 15, 2025)

United Nations Entities & Expert Bodies

While the UN as a whole operates on the findings of international courts (like the ICJ), several of its specialised commissions and independent experts have formally used the term “genocide” in their reports:

* UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry (CoI) on the OPT: In September 2025, this commission concluded that Israel is responsible for the commission of genocide in Gaza.

* UN Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices: Reported in late 2024 that Israel’s warfare in Gaza is “consistent with the characteristics of genocide.” * UN Special Rapporteur on the OPT (Francesca Albanese): Published the “Anatomy of a Genocide” report (March 2024) and the “Gaza Genocide: A Collective Crime” report (October 2025).

* UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food (Michael Fakhri): Has repeatedly stated that Israel is using starvation as a genocidal tool.

Human Rights Organisations

Several of the world’s most influential and independent human rights organisations have transitioned from calling the situation a “risk of genocide” to explicitly labelling it as such following extensive investigations:

* Amnesty International: In late 2024/early 2025, Amnesty released a comprehensive report concluding that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

* Human Rights Watch (HRW): Concluded in late 2024 that Israeli authorities are committing acts of genocide, specifically citing the “extermination” of civilians and the deprivation of water.

* International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH): Formally recognised the actions as genocide in December 2023.

* Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor: One of the earliest organisations to document and label the offensive as genocidal. 

Israeli Human Rights Organisations

In a significant development in July 2025, two of the most prominent Israeli-based human rights groups joined this consensus:

* B’Tselem: Published a landmark report titled ‘Our Genocide’, concluding that Israel is committing genocide.

* Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI): Released a medical-legal analysis documenting the systematic destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system as a genocidal act.

Academic & Specialised Organisations

* International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS): The world’s largest professional body of genocide scholars passed a resolution in September 2025 stating that Israel is committing genocide.

* Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention: Issued numerous alerts and statements since October 2023 characterising the offensive as genocidal.

* Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR): Filed legal actions early in the conflict alleging US complicity in an “unfolding genocide.”

Humanitarian & Religious NGOs

A coalition of over 37 major humanitarian organisations (including ActionAid, Christian Aid, and Islamic Relief) have signed collective statements calling on the international community to recognise the genocide and stop the supply of arms. Other individual groups include:

* Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders): Reported in late 2024 that actions were consistent with genocide.

* Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) * American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)

It would a remarkable coincidence if all the above have it completely wrong. Israeli apologists seek to redefine the definition of genocide to exclude the Gaza slaughter or accuse anyone using the “g word” of being “antisemitic” or a “jew hater” but the consensus view is unavoidable and not going to go away.

  1. You can believe this if you want but I’m not going to believe the many unreliable sources listed here.
    The NY Times is nothing but the media arm of the Marxocrat Party, situated as they are in a city with an Islamist/Socialist mayor. The UN repeatedly vilifies Israel and no one else, like Iran should be. The UN even recently chose Iran as it’s Human Rights representative, never minding the mass executions of its own populace. How’s that for the UN’s double standards?
    I’m not that familiar with the other organizations mentioned here. They may be less suspect, provided that this author isn’t conspiring to misrepresent them like the NY Times and the UN certainly would. I suspect this author is a Marxocrat too, going by his Leftist sources.

      Whether you believe them or not they represent a growing worldwide awareness of the genocide Zionist Israel has been and continues to carry out. The BBC has compiled damning evidence of the IDF’s systematic targeting of children. And there is still worse.

      Zionists are atheists, some are Baal worshippers. Epstein was a Baal worshipper. Our Lord tells us about them in Rev 3:9. “They call themselves Jews but are not. They are liars.”

      And now Israeli Intelligence Officer Ari Ben Menashe has confirmed that Netanyahu is blackmailing Donald Trump:

      “American Government is trapped by the Israelis. Jeffrey Epstein was one of their tools to trap them.”

      1. Really?! How does one determine whether Officer Menashe is telling the truth, or is he a Zionist working to overpower a Mosaic Israel? The BBC?_ they’re currently beholden to Islamic Leftists and always lie.
        Blackmailing Trump? Since Trump never went to Epstein’s island, the blackmail either takes another form or it’s fabricated.
        Moreover, I recall Netanyahu quoted as saying that Jesus was “weak”. That sounds like a pronouncement from a follower of Moses rather than a Zionist.

      2. Here’s an interesting account I read some years ago about how Trump’s and Epstein’s first meeting went.
        Trump was hosting a get-together of some kind at Mar-a-Lago which Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell also attended. When Trump found out that Epstein was soliciting his guests for his sex-trafficking operation, he had them both shown to the exit.
        That tells me that Trump and Epstein were not on good terms.

        1. No they weren’t on good terms. But there’s been some hints that a death threat has been issued for Melania for exposing Epstein and the satanic pedophilia going on.

  2. P.S. I’ll believe it when verifiable casualty statistics are presented. Sorry, but all media is suspect nowadays, being filtered through rose-colored glasses so to speak.
