Why protest genocide?
Craig Murray: Murder
"It is worth stating why this is plainly a genocide in Gaza:
"1) Deliberate destruction of the infrastructure which supports the civilian population, including water treatment, electricity, sewerage systems, bakeries and fishing boats;
"2) Deliberate destruction of almost all medical facilities;
"3) Deliberate destruction of educational facilities, from universities to primary schools;
"4) Deliberate destruction of the infrastructure of civil society, including Supreme Court, Parliament, Ministries and Council buildings and deliberate destruction of administrative records;
"5) Deliberate blocking of food aid inducing mass starvation;
"6) Massive and indiscriminate bombardment. In wars the general percentage of children among those killed varies from 6 to 8 percent. In Ukraine it is 6 percent. In Gaza it is 42 percent. This is indiscriminate destruction of an ethnic group;
"7) Mass executions of civilians;
"8) Acts of dehumanisation of the Palestinians, including parading prisoners naked for public and media show and humiliation, beating and sexually abusing them;
"9) Forced mass movement of population;
"10) Deliberate targeting of religious and cultural heritage buildings;
"11) Deliberate targeting of intellectual leadership, including journalists, doctors, poets, university lecturers and senior administrators;
"12) Numerous declarations of open genocidal intent from the President and Prime Minister down through almost the entire fabric of both civilian and military establishment.
