News outlets have to take note of this. A UN commission has found that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet all the legal qualifications of a genocide. This is now officially the Palestinian Genocide and any attempt to claim otherwise is genocide denial. Enough of the ‘Israel’s defending itself’ bollocks.
